EP06 vs EM12 AT+Command mapping

[megaplow]

Hey All,
I have a EP06 setup and am trying to get a EM12g working. Looking at the EP06 AT commands and the Quectel manual (https://www.quectel.com/UploadImage/Dow ... l_V1.0.pdf), some commands are not found . Specifically the commands below.

Code: Select all

AT+QMBNCFG
AT+EGMR
AT+QPRTPARA

Are there alternate or equivalent commands for the EM12?

Quectel likes for us to play puzzle games and doesnt include commands in all manuals. The QMBNCFG commands are in the BG96 MBN Application note manual:

Quectel_BG96_MBN_Application_Note_V1.0.pdf

The EGMR command is a protected command that is a not allowed to be supported here on this forum. It is not in any manuals.

The AT+QPRTPARA command I still haven't found in an official manual and was told by Quectel it was a command that was for internal Quectel use only, which is baloney but....

I do know AT+QPRTPARA=3 will factory wipe your modem, including rewriting the original IMEI. I also believe they say that using it is very hard on the NVRAM and can damage it if used too much, though I have not seen it. My belief is that its usually not needed.
If you do use it, then the command AT+QPRTPARA=1 is absolutely necessary. This command forces the modem to start saving all parameters to NVRAM properly. Otherwise your modem will lose all settings changes after a hard reset or power cycle. I had to learn this one the hard way.

Thank you very much, the additional doc adds clarity. I think I have enough understanding to start issuing AT commands... fingers crossed I have a working modem on the other side.
