connection using only cell phone data

Can you access a Flex using an Iphone with only cell data connection and no WiFi. When I start smart sdr for IOS I can only see my Flex 6400 Smart Link and not the actual 6400. I would like to be able to control my 6400 when I do not have WiFi coverage, and only have cell phone data.

I assume that I can use the cell phone as a hotspot to allow my Ipad to connect via the hotspot WiFi connection to access the 6400 on smart sdr for IOS.

    YES! The iPhone Hot Spot will work with SSDR and your computer,,, but you will be using a LOT of data, so depending on your Plan, be alert.. I recently upgraded from 1 Gig to 4 Gig due to my iPhone hot spot and Verizon data usage..

    I can not connect to the 6400 that I see as a smart link radio on the cellphone. How can I do that?

    Robert,

    The above works fine, but I only see a smart link flex 6400 and not my actual radio that I can connect to. What do I have to do to be able to see my remote 6400 and then connect to it.

    Paul,
    This is what I want to do. No problem running my Ipad or Iphone on WiFi and connecting to my flex. When I don't have WiFi and using cell only, I can not see my flex 6400 but only what is called  smart link flex 6400 that can not be connected to. I would like to speak with you and find out if my smart link that has been working great for the past year may not be set up correctly.

    based on that
    i think the following has happened
    that the smartlink server at Flex is down...

    this smartlink server is needed to complete the connection.
    and
    there is no way to know if the server is down or not
