Introduction
1.1. Scope of the Document
This document presents the AT Commands Set for Quectel cellular engine M35.
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 M85 is a combination of GSM07.05, GSM07.07 and ITU-T
recommendation V.25ter and 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. “<m>” is optional; if it is missing, then a default value is assigned.
Extended syntax
These commands can be operated in several modes, as following table:
M35_AT_Commands_Manual Confidential / Released 11 / 186
Test Command
AT+<x>=?
This command returns the list of parameters and value ranges
set by the corresponding Write Command or internal processes.
Read Command
AT+<x>?
This command returns the currently set value of the parameter
or parameters.
Write Command
AT+<x>=<…>
This command sets the user-definable parameter values.
Execution
Command
AT+<x>
This command reads non-variable parameters affected by
internal processes in the GSM engine
You can enter several AT Commands on the same line. In this case, you do not need to type the “AT” or
“at” prefix before every command. Instead, you only need type “AT” or “at” at the beginning of the
command line. Please note that use a semicolon as command delimiter.
The command line buffer can accept a maximum of 256 characters. If the input characters exceeded the
maximum then no command will be executed and TA will return “ERROR”.
When you need to enter a series of AT Commands on separate lines, please note that you need to wait
the final response (for example OK, CME error, CMS error) of the last AT command you entered before
you enter the next AT command.

1.2.2. Entering Successive AT Commands on Separate Lines
1.3. Supported Character Sets
The M35 AT Command interface defaults to the IRA character set. The M35 supports the following
character sets:
GSM
UCS2
HEX
IRA
PCCP437
8859_1
M35_AT_Commands_Manual Confidential / Released 12 / 186
Software Flow Control should not be used for data calls where binary data will be transmitted or received
(e.g. TCP/IP), because the DTE interface may interpret binary data as flow control characters.
The character set can be configured and interrogated using the “AT+CSCS” command (GSM 07.07). The
character set is defined in GSM specification 07.05. The character set affects transmission and reception
of SMS and SMS Cell Broadcast Messages, the entry and display of phone book entries text field and
SIM Application Toolkit alpha strings.
Flow control is very important for correct communication between the GSM engine and DTE. For example,
in the case such as a data or FAX call, the sending device is transferring data faster than the receiving
side is ready to accept. When the receiving buffer reaches its capacity, the receiving device should be
capable to cause the sending device to pause until it catches up.
There are basically two approaches to achieve data flow control: software flow control and hardware flow
In Multiplex mode, it is recommended to use the hardware flow control.
The default f

control. M35 supports both two kinds of flow control.
low control approach of M35 is closed.
1.4.1. Software Flow Control (XON/XOFF Flow Control)
Software flow control sends different characters to stop (XOFF, decimal 19) and resume (XON, decimal
17) data flow. It is quite useful in some applications that only use three wires on the serial interface.
The default flow control approach of M35 is closed, to enable software flow control in the DTE interface
and within GSM engine, type the following AT command:
AT+IFC=1, 1<CR>
This setting is stored volatile, for use after restart, AT+IFC=1, 1<CR> should be stored to the user profile
with AT&W<CR>.
Ensure that any communication software package (e.g. ProComm Plus, Hyper Terminal or WinFax Pro)
uses software flow control.
M35_AT_Commands_Manual Confidential / Released 13 / 186
GSM/GPRS Module
M35 AT Commands Manual
1.4.2. Hardware Flow Control (RTS/CTS Flow Control)
The default flow control approach of M3 is closed, to enable hardware flow control (RTS/CTS flow
control) in the DTE interface and within GSM engine, type the following AT command:
AT+IFC=2, 2<CR>.
This setting is stored volatile, for use after restart, AT+IFC=2, 2<CR> should be stored to the user profile
with AT&W<CR>.
Hardware flow control achieves the data flow control by controlling the RTS/CTS line. When the data
transfer should be suspended, the CTS line is set inactive until the transfer from the receiving buffer has
completed. When the receiving buffer is ok to receive more data, CTS goes active once again.
To achieve hardware flow control, ensure that the RTS/CTS lines are present on your application platform.
1.5. Unsolicited Result Code
A URC is a report message sent from the ME to the TE. An unsolicited result code can either be delivered
automatically when an event occurs, to reflect change in system state or as a result of a query the ME
received before, often due to occurrences of errors in executing the queries. However, a URC is not
issued as a direct response to an executed AT command. AT commands have their own implementations
to validate inputs such as “OK” or “ERROR”.
Typical URCs may be information about incoming calls, received SMS, changing temperature, status of
the battery etc. A summary of URCs is listed in Appendix A.
When sending a URC, the ME activates its Ring Interrupt (Logic “l”), i.e. the line goes active low for a few
milliseconds. If an event which delivers a URC coincides with the execution of an AT command, the URC
will be output after command execution has completed.
