Is UART1/VCOM1 on nRF9161DK used ?

Hello, I've a nRF9161DK board and I would like to connect a UART to an external device.

Looking at the schematics I see that both UART0 and UART1 of nRF9161 are connected by default to the nRF5340 (interface MCU). UART/VCOM0 is used as a serial port to the host (USB virtual com).

What about UART1 ? What is the purpose of the connection UART1-VCOM1? Can I simply remap UART1 to different pins and use UART1 for my personal purposes (this avoids me to enable and configure UART2 ) or is UART1 somehow used for a particular function of the DK ?

Thanks, Joel
