Status type commands

The XACLI is divided into three main types of commands, reflecting the information types supported by the TANDBERG API Engine.

The main types are:

•Configuration type commands

•Status type commands

•Command type commands

Configuration type commands defines the system settings. Configuration type commands are either supplied or read by the user.

Example: Set default call rate, baud rate of a serial port and enabling/disabling of various features etc.

The configuration commands are structured in a hierarchy, making up a database of system settings.

Supported Configuration-type commands: xConfiguration

Command type commands instructs the system to perform an action. Command type commands are supplied by the user.

Example: instructing the system to place a call, assign floor to a specific site, disconnect a call etc.

A Command type command is usually followed by a set of parameters to specify how the given action is to be executed.

Supported Command-type commands: xCommand

Status type commands returns information about the system and system processes. Status type commands are read by the user.

Example: Information generated by the system about ongoing calls, network status, conference status etc.

All status information is structured in a hierarchy, making up a database constantly being updated by the system to reflect system and process changes.

Supported Status-type commands:

xStatus xHistory

Special commands

In addition to the above sets of commands, XACLI supports the following set of special commands:

Feedback type command

The xFeedback command is used to specify what parts of the configuration and status hierarchies to monitor.

Feedback will only be issued on the RS-232/Telnet/ SSH session for which it is specified.

If connecting to the TANDBERG codec with multiple RS-232/Telnet/SSH sessions, each session can define feedback individually.

More on this can be found in xfeedback. xFeedback

Preferences type command

The xPreferences command is used to set various preferences for the RS-232/Telnet/SSH sessions.

Each session can define preferences individually.

IMPORTANT! This command has various settings to define the formatting of the XACLI output. It is therefore important to define settings to match the parser used on the control system. XACLI

is designed to make parsing of data from the TANDBERG Codec C90 very simple.

More on this can be found in xpreferences. xPreferences
