EC20 AT Commands Manual

1 Introduction

1.1. Scope of the Document

l
This document presents the AT Commands Set for Quectel cellular engine EC20.

t e l
1.2. AT Command Syntax

e c ia
The “AT” or “at” prefix must be set at the beginning of each command line. To terminate a command line

u t
enter <CR>. Commands are usually followed by a response that includes

n
“<CR><LF><response><CR><LF>”. Throughout this document, only the responses are presented,
“<CR><LF>” are omitted intentionally.

Q ide
The AT Commands Set implemented by EC20 is a combination of 3GPP TS 27.007, 3GPP TS 27.005
and ITU-T recommendation V.25ter and the AT Commands developed by Quectel.

f
All these AT commands can be split into three categories syntactically: “basic”, “S parameter”, and

n
“extended”. They are listed as follows:

o
 Basic syntax
These AT commands have the format of “AT<x><n>”, or “AT&<x><n>”, where “<x>” is the command, and

C
“<n>” is/are the argument(s) for that command. An example of this is “ATE<n>”, which tells the DCE
whether received characters should be echoed back to the DTE according to the value of “<n>”. “<n>” is
optional and a default will be used if it is missing.

 S parameter syntax
These AT commands have the format of “ATS<n>=<m>”, where “<n>” is the index of the S register to set,
and “<m>” is the value to assign to it.

 Extended syntax
These commands can be operated in several modes, as following table:

EC20_AT_Commands_Manual Confidential / Released 8 / 191

 LTE Module Series
EC20 AT Commands Manual

Table 1: Types of AT Commands and Responses

This command returns the list of parameters and value ranges

Test Command AT+<x>=?
set by the corresponding Write Command or internal processes.
This command returns the currently set value of the parameter
Read Command AT+<x>?
or parameters.

Write Command AT+<x>=<…> This command sets the user-definable parameter values.

Execution This command reads non-variable parameters affected by

AT+<x>
Command internal processes in the UE.

el
1.3. Supported Character Sets

c t l
The EC20 AT command interface defaults to the GSM character set. The EC20 supports the following

a
character sets:

u e t i
 GSM format

n
 UCS2
 IRA

Q ide
The character set can be configured and interrogated by using the “AT+CSCS” command (3GPP TS
27.007) and it is defined in 3GPP TS 27.005. The character set affects transmission and reception of SMS

f
and SMS Cell Broadcast Messages, the entry and display of phone book entries text field.

o n
1.4. AT Command Interface

C
The EC20 AT command interface includes two USB ports (USB MODEM port and USB AT port) and one
main UART port. The main UART port and two USB ports support AT command and data transfer.

1.5. Unsolicited Result Code

As an Unsolicited Result Code and a report message, URC is not issued as part of the response related
to an executed AT command. URC is issued by the EC20 without being requested by the TE and it is
issued automatically when a certain event occurs. Typical events leading to URCs are incoming calls
(“RING”), received short messages, high/low voltage alarm, high/low temperature alarm etc.

EC20 AT Commands Manual

1.6. Turn off Procedure

It is recommended to execute AT+QPOWD command to turn off the module, as it is the safest and best
way. This procedure is realized by letting the module log off from the network and allowing the software to
enter into a secure and safe data state before disconnecting the power supply.

After sending AT+QPOWD, do not enter any other AT commands. The module outputs message
“POWERED DOWN” and sets the STATE pin as low to enter into the shutdown state. In order to avoid
data loss, it is suggested to wait for 1s to switch off the VBAT after the STATUS pin is set as low and the
URC “POWERED DOWN” is outputted. If “POWERED DOWN” has not been received after 65s, you

l
should force to switch off the VBAT.

AT+QCFG=“airplanecontrol” is used to enable or disable airplane mode detection.

Both the W_DISABLE# pin and +CFUN command can control the module to enter into airplane mode.
When W_DISABLE# pin is pull-down, the module will enter into airplane mode no matter what the status
of +CFUN is, meanwhile, +CFUN status cannot be switched.

When setting parameter of <airplanecontrol>, the parameter will be saved to NV. After enabling the
airplane mode detection functionality and the module is powered on, it will detect the W_DISABLE# pin
first. If the pin is in low level, module will enter into airplane mode instantly.

are two kinds of ECC numbers, ECC numbers without SIM and ECC numbers with SIM. The default ECC
numbers without SIM is 911, 112, 00, 08, 110, 999, 118 and 119. The default ECC number with SIM is 911
and 112. 911 and 112 will always be supported as ECC numbers, and can’t be deleted. ECC numbers can
be saved into NV automatically. If the SIM card contains ECC File, the numbers in ECC File can also be
regarded as ECC numbers.

The maximal supported ECC numbers of each type is 20.

10.4. AT+CGQMIN Quality of Service Profile (Minimum Acceptable)

o n
AT+CGQMIN allows the TE to specify a minimum acceptable profile which is checked by the MT against
the negotiated profile when the PDP context is activated. The write command specifies a profile for the

C
context identified by the context identification parameter <cid>.

A special form of the write command, AT+CGQMIN=<cid> causes the minimum acceptable profile for
context number <cid> to become undefined. In this case no check is made against the negotiated profile.
The read command returns the current settings for each defined context. Details can be found in 3GPP
TS 23.107 and all of parameters save in NV automatically.

11.3. AT+CHLD Call Related Supplementary Services

The AT+CHLD command allows the control of the following call related services:

 A call can be temporarily disconnected from the MT but the connection is retained by the network;
 Multiparty conversation (conference calls);
 The served subscriber who has two calls (one held and the other either active or alerting) can
connect the other parties and release the served subscriber’s own connection.

Calls can be put on hold, recovered, released and added to a conversation, and transferred similarly as

l
defined in 3GPP TS 22.030.

e
This is based on the GSM/UMTS supplementary services HOLD (Call Hold; refer to 3GPP TS 22.083

14.8. SMS Character Sets Conversions

t e
In 3GPP TS 23.038 DCS (Data Coding Scheme) defined three kinds of alphabets in SMS, GSM 7 bit

c l
default alphabet, 8 bit data and UCS2(16bit). AT+CSMP can set the DCS in text mode (AT+CMGF=1). In

a
text mode, DCS (Data Coding Scheme) and AT+CSCS determine the way of SMS text input or output.
