Addressing Using XPath or TANDBERG SimplePath Feedback

To address information in the hierarchic structure of Status and Configuration information, the TANDBERG systems support abbreviated XML Path Language (XPath) and a proprietary notation called TANDBERG SimplePath (only available using XACLI).

This allows the user/control application to address everything from a single element of data (for example the call rate of a specific call) to larger parts of the hierarchy (for example all information available for a given call).

Using TANDBERG SimplePath

Addressing the 1st DNS Server Address of the 1st Network:

Each level is separated with a slash (‘/’). Item numbers are added in brackets after the element name:

•Network[1]/DNS Server[1]/Address

Example:

xConfiguration Network[1]/DNS Server[1]/Address

*c xConfiguration Network 1 DNS Server 1 Address: “test”

OK

Feedback is an extremely powerful feature where the TANDBERG system actively returns updated status and configuration information to the user/control application whenever changes occur.

The user/control application can specify what parts of the status and configuration hierarchies it wants to monitor by using XPath. The user/control application can thereby limit the amount of information it receives from the target system to only those parts being of interest for the given application. This will also reduce the load on the link connecting the systems.

Feedback is supported on both XACLI (RS-232/Telnet/SSH) and TXAS (HTTP/HTTPS) simultaneously.

The system uses TANDBERG SimplePath when presenting configurations.

XPath and TANDBERG SimplePath are described thoroughly later in this section of the manual.

The structuring of information together with XPath and TANDBERG SimplePath for addressing, makes up powerful features as the ability to search and setting of multiple instances of a configuration.

Using TANDBERG SimplePath

Addressing the 1st DNS Server Address of the 1st Network:

Both levels and item numbers are separated with white spaces:

•Network 1 DNS Server 1 Address

Example:

xConfiguration Network 1 DNS Server 1 Address

*c xConfiguration Network 1 DNS Server 1 Address: “test”

OK
