Devices.Tool is now compatible with sending commands without line breaks, and supports the simultaneous configuration of multiple AT commands. A record is also automatically saved after an instruction is sent, and clicking on a command in the history will display it directly in the input box.

2.3 Configure server address ,data format and APN

Please note: the iOS version of the software does not support the quick configuration feature and requires manual entry of the full command.
