Assume the default value for all parameters that are not in this list. These profiles do not reflect addressing
implementations.
Base:
1. Send ATMY 0 to set the source address to 0x00.
2. Send ATDT FFFF to set the destination address to 0xFFFF.
Remotes:
1. Use XCTU or another terminal program to send the AM command. See the AM command for details.
2. Send ATDT 0 to set the destination address to 0x00.
