Appendix E AT Profiles Overview As a part of the RS-422 AT-interface in the SDU, there are two AT-profiles on the internal modem. These profiles are the same as those found on any normal modem. The profiles store settings used by the serial port, standard AT variables and some values used by the satellite protocols.
LES settings for AT-calls LES settings for AT-calls It is important to know that the AT profiles have nothing to do with LES settings and satellite selection. The LES used for AT initiated calls is distinct from the LES used for PPPoE initiated calls.
