As further explained in the following section, CHUMP is an 
HDLC protocol optimized for use in multidrop serial networks 
typically used for RFID readers. The SAMSys Interrogator 
Control and Concentrator Module (ICCM) is the Primary Station 
on a SAMSys reader network. The RFID readers are the 
Secondary Stations.
SAMSys readers can be configured to operate in Normal 
Response Mode (NRM) by selecting RF Polled Mode or RF 
Continuous/Serial Polled Mode. The readers can also be 
configured to operate in Asynchronous Response Mode (ARM) 
by selecting RF Continuous/Serial Continuous Mode.
