#### **To query ICC ID of SIM: AT+QCCID** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+QCCID' - #### **To query IMEI: AT+CGSN** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+CGSN' - #### **To read APN's: AT+CGDCONT?** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+CGDCONT?' - #### **To set APN: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","YOUR\_APN\_NAME"** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","YOUR\_APN\_NAME"' - #### **To configure APN Password / Authentication** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+QICSGP=\,\,\,\,\,\' - **\**: PDP context identifier (e.g., `1`) - **\**: Type of PDP (e.g., `"IP"` or `"PPP"`) - : Access Point Name (APN) for the network - : Username for authentication (can be empty `""` if not required) - : Password for authentication (can be empty `""` if not required) - : Authentication type - `0` - None - `1` - PAP - `2` - CHAP - `3` - PAP or CHAP - Example Configuration: - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+QICSGP=1,"IP","your\_apn","your\_username","your\_password",1' - The above command This configures context ID `1` for an IP-based PDP with the specified APN, username, and password, using **PAP authentication**. - #### **To read the product firmware version: AT+GMR** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+GMR' - #### **To enable Auto PRI Select: AT+QMBNCFG=”AutoSel”,1 (Detects SIM Card and selects Appropriate Firmware)** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+QMBNCFG="AutoSel",1' - #### **To disable Auto PRI Select: AT+QMBNCFG=”AutoSel”,0** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+QMBNCFG="AutoSel",0' - #### **To list the active PRI and check which one is active: at+qmbncfg="list"** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'at+qmbncfg="list"' - The active PRI is identified by the "1", in the middle of the 3 digits of each PRI listed as seen below:  ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-05-2024-10-08-45-4831-PM.png?width=618&height=407&name=image-png-Dec-05-2024-10-08-45-4831-PM.png) - #### **To select certain PRI: AT+QMBNCFG=”Select”,”ROW\_Generic\_3GPP”** - konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+QMBNCFG="Select","ROW\_Generic\_3GPP"' - To select other PRI's, simply change the "ROW\_Generic\_3GPP" to reflect one of the other PRI names shown in the screenshot above.  -
