1 Introduction
1.1. Scope of the Document
This document presents the AT Commands Set for Quectel cellular engines EC25 & EC21.
1.2. AT Command Syntax
The “AT or at” prefix must be set at the beginning of each command line. To terminate a command line
enter <CR>. Commands are usually followed by a response that includes
<CR><LF><response><CR><LF>”. Throughout this document, only the responses are presented,
<CR><LF>” are omitted intentionally.
The AT Commands Set implemented by EC25 & EC21 is a combination of 3GPP TS 27.007, 3GPP TS
27.005 and ITU-T recommendation V.25ter as well as the AT Commands developed by Quectel.
All these AT commands can be split into three categories syntactically: basic”, S parameter”, and
extended”. They are listed as follows:
- Basic syntax
These AT commands have the format of AT<x><n>”, or AT&<x><n>”, where <x>is the command, and
<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:

Table 1: Types of AT Commands and Responses
1.3. Supported Character Sets
EC25 & EC21 AT command interface defaults to the GSM character set. EC25 & EC21 modules support
the following character sets:
- GSM format
- UCS2
- IRA
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
and SMS Cell Broadcast Messages, as well as the entry and display of phone book entries text field.
1.4. AT Command Interface
EC25 & EC21 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 communication 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 EC25 & EC21 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.

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 STATUS 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, the VBAT
shall be switched off compulsorily.

"auto" When RING is presented to indicate an incoming call, the
ring indicator changes to and keeps active. When ring of the
incoming call ends, either answering or hanging up the
incoming call, the ring indicator will change to inactive.
"wave" When RING is presented to indicate an incoming call. The ring
indicator outputs a square wave. Both <activeduration> and
<inactiveduration> are used to set parameters of the square
wave. When the ring of incoming call ends, either answering
or hanging up the incoming call, the ring indicator will change
to inactive.
<pulseduration> Set the width of pulse. The value ranges from 1 to 2000ms and the default is
120ms. This parameter is only meaningful when <typeri> is “pulse”. If this
parameter is not needed, it can be set as null.
<activeduration> The active duration of the square wave. The value ranges from 1 to 10000ms,
and the default is 1000ms. This parameter is only meaningful when <typeri>
is “wave”.
<inactiveduration> Set the inactive duration of the square wave. The value ranges from 1 to
10000ms, and the default is 5000ms. This parameter is only meaningful when
<typeri> is “wave”.
<ringnodisturbing> Set whether the ring indicator behavior could be disturbed. This parameter is
only meaningful when <typeri> is configured to “auto” or “wave”. For
example, when <typeri> is configured to “wave”, if the square wave does not
need to be disturbed by other URCs (including SMS related URCs), then
<ringnodisturbing> should be set to "on".
"off" RI behavior can be disturbed by other URCs when the
behavior is caused by an incoming call ringing.
"on" RI behavior cannot be disturbed by other URCs when the
behavior is caused by an incoming call ringing.
<pulsecount> The count of pulse. This parameter is only meaningful when <typeri> is
“pulse”. The value ranges from 1 to 5 and the default is 1. The interval time
between two pulses is equal to <pulseduration>.

1. This command may be aborted generally by receiving an ATH command or a character during
execution. The aborting is not possible during some states of connection establishment such as
handshaking.
2. Parameter “I” and “i” can be omitted only when there is no “* or # code within the dial string.
3. See ATX command for setting result code and call monitoring parameters.
4. Responses returned after dialing with ATD
For voice call, two different responses mode can be determined. TA returns OKimmediately either
after dialing was completed or after the call was established. The setting is controlled by AT+COLP.
Factory default is AT+COLP=0, which causes the TA to return OKimmediately after dialing was
completed. Otherwise TA will return OK”, “BUSY”,NO DIAL TONE”, or NO CARRIER”.
5. Using ATD during an active voice call:
- When a user originates a second voice call while there is already an active voice call, the first
call will be automatically put on hold.
- The current states of all calls can be easily checked at any time by using AT+CLCC command.

9.17. AT+QCMGS Send Concatenated Messages
The command is used to send concatenated massages. Different from AT+CMGS, when sending a
concatenated message via this command, each segment of the concatenated message must be identified
by the additional parameters: <uid>, <msg_seg> and <msg_total>. When sending all segments of the
message one by one, AT+QCMGS must be executed multiple times (equal to <msg_total>) for each
segment. This command is only used in text mode (AT+CMGF=1).
Parameter
<uid> Message identification in the user data header (UDH). Range: 0-255. This
parameter is defined and inputted by the user. All segments of a same
concatenated message must have the same <uid>. Different concatenated
messages should have different <uid>.
<msg_seg> Sequence number of a concatenated message. Range: 0-7.
<msg_seg>=0 means: ignore the value and regard it as a non-concatenated
message.
<msg_total> The total number of the segments of one concatenated message. Range: 0-7.
<msg_total>=0 or 1 means: ignore the value and regard it as a
non-concatenated message.
<da> Please refer to AT+CMGS.
<toda> Please refer to AT+CMGS.
<pid> Protocol identifier. 3GPP TS 23.040 TP-Protocol-Identifier in integer format (default 0).

<mr> Please refer to AT+CMGS.
1. For concatenated messages, the maximum length will be reduced by the length of the user data
header (UDH). 3GPP TS 23.040 defines two kinds of UDH length: 6 bytes and 7 bytes, so the two
kinds of <uid> are 8-bit (6 bytes) and 16-bit (7 bytes). AT+QCMGS uses 8-bit <uid>.
- In the case of GSM 7 bit default alphabet data coding scheme, the maximum length of each
segment of a concatenated message is (140 octets - 6 )*8/7=153 characters.
- In the case of 16 bit UCS2 data coding scheme, the maximum length of each segment is
(140-6)/2=67 characters.
- In the case of 8-bit data coding scheme, the maximum length of each segment is 140-6=134
characters.
2. <mr> Message-Reference field gives an integer representation of a reference number of the
SMS-SUBMIT or SMS-COMMAND submitted to the SC by the MS, and it is used to confirm
whether the SMS-DELIVER has been received from SC duplicate or not.
<uid> The field of UDH. It is message identification of the concatenated SMS, which is different
from <mr>. Each segment in a concatenated message should have the same <uid>, but
<mr> must be incremented for each segment of a concatenated message.
3. AT+QCMGS does not support to send message in PDU mode (AT+CMGF=0).
Example
AT+CMGF=1 //Set SMS message format as text mode
OK
AT+CSCS="GSM" //Set character set as GSM which is used by the TE
OK
AT+QCMGS="15056913384",120,1,2 <CR> //Input 120 for <uid>, and send the first segment of the

Parameter
<uid> Message identification in the user data header (UDH). Range: 0-65535 (see NOTES).
All segments of a same concatenated message have same <uid>. Different
concatenated messages should have different <uid>.
<msg_seg> Sequence number of a concatenated message. Range: 1-7.
<msg_total> The total number of the segments of one concatenated message. Range: 2-7.
Other parameters please refer to AT+CMGR
1. The <uid> in AT+QCMGR is different from the <uid> in AT+QCMGS. It is possible that UE receives
concatenated messages with 8-bit or 16-bit <uid>. So its maximal value is 255 with 8-bit and 65535
with 16-bit.
2. If the message to be read is not a concatenated message, <uid>, <msg_seg> and <msg_total>
would not be shown in the result.
Example
+CMTI: "SM",3 //The first message of a concatenated message comes
+CMTI: "SM",4 //The second message of a concatenated message comes
AT+QCMGR= 3 //Read the first segment of the concatenated message
+QCMGR: "REC UNREAD","+8615056913384",,"13/07/30,14:44:37+32",120,1,2

10 Packet Domain Commands
10.1. AT+CGATT Attachment or Detachment of PS
The Write Command is used to attach the MT to, or detach the MT from the Packet Domain service. After
the command has been completed, the MT remains in V.25ter command state. If the MT is already in the
requested state, the command is ignored and the OK response will be returned. If the requested state
cannot be achieved, an ERROR or +CME ERROR response is returned.

10.2. AT+CGDCONT Define PDP Context
The command specifies PDP context parameters for a specific context <cid>. A special form of the Write
Command (AT+CGDCONT=<cid>) causes the values for context <cid> to become undefined. It is not
allowed to change the definition of an already activated context.
The Read Command returns the current settings for each defined PDP context.

10.8. AT+CGDATA Enter Data State
The Write Command causes the MT to perform whatever actions that are necessary to establish
communication between the TE and the network using one or more packet domain PDP types. This may
include per-forming a PS attach and one or more PDP context activations. Commands following the
AT+CGDATA command in the AT command line will not be processed by the MT.
If the <L2P> parameter value is unacceptable to the MT, the MT shall return an ERROR or +CME ERROR
response. Otherwise, the MT issues the intermediate result code CONNECT and enters V.250 online data
state. After data transfer is completed, and the layer 2 protocol termination procedure has been
completed successfully, the command state is reentered and the MT returns the final result code OK.

11.3. AT+CHLD Call Related Supplementary Services
The 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
defined in 3GPP TS 22.030.
This is based on the GSM/UMTS supplementary services HOLD (Call Hold; refer to 3GPP TS 22.083
clause 2), MPTY (MultiParty; refer to 3GPP TS 22.084) and ECT (Explicit Call Transfer; refer to 3GPP TS
22.091). The interaction of this command with other commands based on other GSM/UMTS
supplementary services is described in the GSM/UMTS standards. Call Hold, MultiParty and Explicit Call
Transfer are only applicable to teleservice 11.

21.8. SMS Character Sets Conversions
In 3GPP TS 23.038 DCS (Data Coding Scheme) defined three kinds of alphabets in SMS, GSM 7 bit
default alphabet, 8 bit data and UCS2(16bit). AT+CSMP can set the DCS in text mode (AT+CMGF=1). In
text mode, DCS (Data Coding Scheme) and AT+CSCS determine the way of SMS text input or output.

Because the low 8 bit of UCS2 character is the same as the IRA character:
The conversion table of DCS=GSM 7 bit and AT+CSCS=“UCS2” is similar to AT+CSCS=“IRA.
The conversion table of fmt=GSM 7 bit and AT+CSCS=“GSM” is similar to AT+CSCS=“GSM”.
The conversion table of fmt= GSM 7 bit and AT+CSCS=“IRA is similar to AT+CSCS=“IRA.
