1  –  circuit

    Initiates an XID test between the node specified and the node
    indicated by the address or client argument.

    test  [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
           address lan-address [,optional argument...]

    The Address information is required.  If Address is not specified
    in the command, then a Client must be specified which can supply
    the address information.

    test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
            client client-name [,optional argument...]

    The optional arguments for the test command are:  count, format,
    length, and sap.
