1 Introduction
Quectel EC200U series and EG91xU family modules provide AT commands to support (U)SIM
Application Toolkit (STK). This document is a reference guide to all (U)SIM Application Toolkit-related AT
commands.

1.1. Applicable Modules

1.2. AT Command Introduction

1.2.1. Definitions

⚫ <CR> Carriage return character.

⚫ <LF> Line feed character.
⚫ <...> Parameter name. Angle brackets do not appear on the command line.
⚫ [...] Optional parameter of a command or an optional part of TA information response.
Square brackets do not appear on the command line. When an optional parameter is
not given in a command, the new value equals its previous value or the default settings,
unless otherwise specified.
⚫ Underline Default setting of a parameter.

EC200U&EG91xU_Series_STK_Application_Note 6 / 34
 LTE Standard Module Series

1.2.2. AT Command Syntax

All command lines must start with AT or at and end with <CR>. Information responses and result codes
always start and end with a carriage return character and a line feed character:
<CR><LF><response><CR><LF>. In tables presenting commands and responses throughout this
document, only the commands and responses are presented, and <CR> and <LF> are deliberately
omitted.

Table 2: Types of AT Commands

Command Type Syntax Description

Test the existence of the corresponding

Test Command AT+<cmd>=? command and return information about
the type, value, or range of its parameter.
Check the current parameter value of the
Read Command AT+<cmd>?
corresponding command.

Write Command AT+<cmd>=<p1>[,<p2>[,<p3>[...]]] Set user-definable parameter value.

Return a specific information parameter

Execution Command AT+<cmd>
or perform a specific action.

1.3. Declaration of AT Commands

The AT command examples in this document are provided to help you learn about the use of the AT
commands introduced herein. The examples, however, should not be taken as Quectel’s
recommendations or suggestions about how to design a program flow or what status to set the module
into. Sometimes multiple examples may be provided for one AT command. However, this does not mean
that there is a correlation among these examples, or that they should be executed in a given sequence.

1.4. Using STK AT Commands

Step 1: Switch on the module, and enable STK functionality with AT+QSTK=1[,<alphabet>], then
reboot the module.
Step 2: Query proactive command information based on URC with AT+QSTKGI. Respond to the STK
proactive command with AT+QSTKRSP. When +QSTKURC: 253 is reported, you can select a
menu item with AT+QSTKRSP=253,<result>,<itemID>. Furthermore, you can use
AT+QSTKRSP=254 to terminate the STK session at any time.
Step 3: Disable STK functionality with AT+QSTK=0, then reboot the module.

EC200U&EG91xU_Series_STK_Application_Note 7 / 34
 LTE Standard Module Series

1.5. STK States

There are three types of STK states: automatic response state, terminal response state, and waiting state.
For more details, see Chapter 2.3. The following figure illustrates the state transitions.

AT+QSTK=1[,<alphabet>] AT+QSTKRSP=<cmdtype>,<result>[ ]
and reboot module
Automatic Terminal
Waiting state
response state response state
AT+QSTK=0 and reboot +QSTKURC: <cmdtype>
module

Figure 1: STK State Transitions

1.6. Proactive Command Responses

When STK functionality is disabled, the module will automatically respond to a proactive command.
However, when STK functionality is enabled, you should respond to the proactive command (Refer to
Chapter 2.7). If you do not respond to the proactive command within a specific time frame, a URC
indicating a timeout response will be reported, and module will automatically respond to the proactive
command.

1.7. STK Character Set

The STK AT command interface supports the following character sets:

⚫ GSM character set (default)

⚫ UCS-2 character set

You can configure the character set with AT+QSTK=<mode>[,<alphabet>] (Refer to Chapter 2.1). The
configured settings become effective after being set and they will affect both the input parameters and
output information of STK AT commands. If UCS-2 characters cannot be converted to GSM characters,
they will be converted to 0x20 (space).
