      Cellular Backhaul Commands (Quectel)

      The modem commands described in this document apply to the following Kona gateway models:

      Kona Photon Gen 2 (Rev B)

      Kona Micro Gen 2

      • 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=<context_id>,<PDP_type>,<APN>,<username>,<password>,<authentication>'
          • <context_id>: PDP context identifier (e.g., 1)
          • <PDP_type>: 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: 

      • 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. 
        • For use of Verizon SIM's with Kona Micro Gen2 gateways, please see the following guide: https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/micro2-vzw-quectel

      • To check Signal attachment: AT+QENG="servingcell" 

        • konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+QENG="servingcell"'
