Chat Communication

The chat call and chat hello commands allow two SC-ADT users with CLI connections
to the device to communicate via plain text in a separate window. This feature is useful in informing
a connected CLI user of pending configuration or software maintenance on the SC-ADT which can
interrupt port or device access.
1. Chat call/hello communication is typically employed during SC-ADT installation. Two CLI
users can chat if they are both on CLI across the IP network.
2. The calling CLI user initiates a text message session with the remote user by typing:
chat call
3. A split window appears where the remote user then types chat hello to answer the call
and permit incoming text messages. Both CLI users may type text messages simultaneously.
The session ends when a user closes the message window by typing CTRL-C.
