FW and ID in 7455 have been updated. APN updated. Back online with new SIM on B2. GSTATUS looks good on B41, but no data. Tried some different APNs.

Beware the power supply.

We put together two setups with 12-volt 2.5-amp supply, WE826, and EM7565.
One worked well, the other not.

After a lot of testing with ...

IIRC, the third COM port is revealed under

How to turn off/disable LED's?

Thanks.

Any updates about Visible?
