Note
For deployments with heightened sensitivity toward data usage, the IPSec remote control
tunnel can be disabled. Cloud-based reporting and configuration can still be accomplished via SMS
commands that are not subject usage metering on mobile data plans. Please consult with support for
more information before leveraging this approach, "Option 2" in the table below.

Charges for SMS messages may apply. Please consult your cellular carrier for billing details.
