IP Security (IPSEC) 

The modem supports up to 10 IPSEC VPN tunnels used to secure communications with remote servers. 
Please refer to the "Getting Started with IPSEC" application notes for further details. 
 

Note 

IP Security can only be configured and managed via AT commands. 

 

6.6

 

Access Control List (ACL) 

The modem can be configured with Access Control List to prevent un-authorized incoming IP traffic.  
Please refer to the "Getting Started with ACL" application notes for further details. 
 

Note 

ACL cannot only be configured and managed via AT commands.
