Chapter 2  Command Descriptions  179
• Internal Modem (or Embedded Modem) profile: Configures the internal 
modem of this device. The Internal Modem Profile is used for serial 
ports that contain an internal modem to configure both the serial port 
and the modem.
• Chat profile: Allows multiple clients to simultaneously connect and 
manage a server connected to a serial port. Use this profile if multiple 
clients need to share a single server/slave resource. This profile acts 
similar to a typical chat room, where each client is able to send a 
message to the server and all other clients are able to view the 
message as well as the server's response. This is useful when multiple 
clients or systems need to cooperatively control a device or when an 
external system wants to monitor and log all client data accessing the 
serial device.
