Product Discussion Pepwave MAX
1

Hi,

Is it possible to program the Pepwave MAX BR1 by sending a sms message.
I would like to be able to set a apn by sendig a text message.

I know this should be possible with inControl too, but inControl only works when the device is online. If the device is offlline because the apn is wrong, there is no way to change this remotely.
