Yes - if it isn&#x27;t obvious (which is should be to anyone here) this was probably used as an beta method for a control&#x2F;communication channel protocol, Probably inter device only (not meant for a user or support). Built by a programmer who was told to &#x27;get the communication working for this new feature we want to implement&#x27;. So he hacked open a hole with a very large cudgel where he should have used a scalpel.
