About the API

About the APIThe API-engine can be accessed by an easy-to-use Command Line Interface called XACLI using RS-232 or SSH.The information is stored in a hierarchic tree structure which is accessible from different interfaces.• When accessing the API-engine using

XACLI (RS-232 or SSH), the information is formatted in a proprietary Command Line style or in XML formatting.

The API-EngineThe API-Engine is optimized for easy, yet advanced, machine-machine interaction between a Cisco system and an external control application.The main features can be summarized to:1. Structuring of information2. Addressing using XPath (XML Path

Language) or SimplePath3. Feedback Structuring of Information

An application programming interface (API) can be seen as a gate where information is exchanged between two systems – a control application and a target system.The control application transmits instructions to the target system, while the target system supplies information about how these instructions are executed, in addition to other system related information.

API-Engine

RS-232 cable

Main types of information• READ information (R)• WRITE information (W)• READ/WRITE information (RW)

(R) READ information: xStatus. Typical examples include: read the network status, ISDN status etc. All status information is structured in a hierarchy, making up a database constantly being updated by the system to reflect process changes.

(W) WRITE information: xCommand. Typical examples include: set date and time, get date and time, software upgrade, etc. A command is usually followed by a set of parameters to specify how the given action is to be executed.

(RW) READ/WRITE information: xConfiguration. Typical examples include: set or read the value of the H320 network type, ISDN PRI switch type, call rate, etc. All configuration information is structured in a hierarchy making up a database of system settings.

XACLI (XML)

SSH via LAN

Consequently, the exchange of information can be divided into:1. Information flowing from target. This

we call READ information (R). The (R) should not be confused with the (r) used to indicate required parameters for xCommand.

2. Information flowing to target. This we call WRITE information (W).

7




Addressing Using XPath or SimplePathTo address information in the hierarchic structure of Status and Configuration information, the systems support abbreviated XML Path Language (XPath) and a proprietary notation called SimplePath (only available using XACLI).This allows the user 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 XPath

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

Using 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

FeedbackFeedback is an extremely powerful feature where the system actively returns updated status and configuration information to the user whenever changes occur.The user can specify what parts of the status and configuration hierarchies it wants to monitor by using XPath. The user 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 XACLI (RS-232/SSH).The system uses SimplePath when presenting configurations.The structuring of information together with XPath and SimplePath for addressing, makes up powerful features as the ability to search and setting of multiple instances of a configuration.

8




Connecting to the ISDN Link

Accessing XACLIXACLI can be accessed through SSH via the LAN interface or through the COM port by connecting a serial cable to the serial interface connector, referred to as the COM port.The COM port (RS-232) is a 9-pin, female, D-sub connector located on the back of the unit. The connector is marked with the text: COM.

COM Port settingsUse: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

SSH login

• User name is: admin• The default password is blank.

Serial port login

• User name is: admin• The default password is blank.

Hardware & Cabling (RS-232)The pin outs for the RS-232 are defined in the tables to the right. Observe that the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), could be a PC or any other device capable of serial communication.Cable. A straight-through cable should be used between the RS-232 port and the DTE. The lower table shows the recommended cable-wiring scheme when connecting the ISDN Link to a PC through RS-232.DTR and RTS are ignored. DSR, CD, and CTS are always asserted, while RI is not used.

Troubleshooting (RS-232)If communication cannot be established between the PC/terminal and the unit, the following should be checked:1. Verify that the serial cable is a straight-through 9-pin to

9-pin cable.2. Confirm that the configuration of the PC/terminal’s serial

RS-232 port is identical to the configuration of the RS-232 port.

3. Verify that the PC/terminal’s serial RS-232 port is working properly by connecting it back-to-back to another PC/terminal (using a special crossover cable for that purpose) and send characters in both directions.

Main type of commandsThe XACLI is divided into three main types of commands, reflecting the information types supported by the API Engine.The main types are:• Configuration type commands• Status type commands• Command type commands

Configuration type commandsConfiguration type commands defines the system settings. Configuration commands are either supplied or read by the user. System settings made by Configuration type commands are persistant over a reboot.Example: Configure ISDN settings, external network settings, 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 commandsCommand type commands instructs the system to perform an action. Command commands are supplied by the user. Actions performed by a Command type command are not persitant over a reboot.Example: instructing the system to place a call, assign floor to a specific site, disconnect a call etc. A xCommand 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 commandsStatus type commands returns information about the system and system processes. xStatus 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

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

Feedback type command

The Feedback commands are used to specify what parts of the configuration and status hierarchies to monitor. Feedback will only be issued on the RS-232/SSH session for which it is specified. If connecting to the system with multiple sessions, each session can define feedback individually.

More on this can be found in xfeedback. xFeedback

Preferences type command

The Preference type command is used to set various preferences for the RS-232/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 system very simple.

More on this can be found in xpreferences. xPreferences

Description of the xConfiguration commands

20




The ExternalNetwork configuration

xConfiguration ExternalNetwork Interface [1..1] DtrPulseConfigures the DTR signal on the External Network port (Net).

Value space: On: The DTR signal will give a low pulse lasting for 5 seconds.Off: The DTR pulse will stay low.

Example: xConfiguration ExternalNetwork Interface 1 DtrPulse: Off

xConfiguration ExternalNetwork Interface [1..1] ClockingConfigure the clocking signal which is compatible with the external equipment.

Value space: Dual: (RS449/V35 Compatible) Use this setting when the external equipment provides two clock signals, one for transmit and one for receive. The difference between RS449 and V35 lies solely in the cable.

Single: (X21 Compatible) Use this setting when the external equipment provides a common clock signal for both transmit and receive.

Example: xConfiguration ExternalNetwork Interface 1 Clocking: Dual

xConfiguration ExternalNetwork Interface [1..1] CallControlConfigure the dialling sheme which is compatible with the external equipment.

Value space: Manual: Select Manual used when no handshake signals are available and the external equipment requires a constantly connected line.

RS366: This is the only dialling protocol supported and would normally be used together with Dual network clocking when the external equipment uses RS366 ports.

RS366AdtranIMUX: This setting offers extra usability when dialling RS366 via an ADTRAN IMUX. This dialling scheme will map the call type and bandwidth selection to ADTRAN IMUX specific suffixes to the dialled number. Should only be used when connected to an ADTRAN IMUX. The Adtran IMUX uses the following suffixes #C#R, where #C = Call Type #2 = audio #3 = 56kbps #4 = 64kbps #R = Channel Rate #0 = 2xh221 (2x56\64kbps) #1 to 8 = the Call Rate.

RS366CustomIMUX: Uses a custom prefix/suffix table which describes the available bandwidths. The prefixes/suffixes are set from the Web Interface or Command Line interface. The user (administrator) shall be able to specify a IMUX prefix/suffix table for the following bandwidths (kbps): 64, 64 Restrict, 128, 128 Restrict, 192, 192 Restrict, 256, 256 Restrict, 320, 320 Restrict, 384, 384 Restrict, 512, 512 Restrict, 768, 768 Restrict, 1152, 1152 Restrict, 1472, 1472 Restrict, 1920, 1920 Restrict.

LeasedLine: Leased Line is a non-dialling protocol and should be used when two codecs are connected in a point-to-point connection. Use Leased Line when the handshaking signals DTR and CD are available. DTR and CD correspond to the X.21 network's C and I signals.

Example: xConfiguration ExternalNetwork Interface 1 CallControl: RS366

Description of the xConfiguration commandsIn the following pages you will find a complete list of the xConfiguration commands. The examples shows either the default value or an example of a value.We recommend you visit our web site regularly for updated versions of the manual. Go to: http://www.cisco.com/go/isdnlink-docs

The E1 configuration

xConfiguration E1 Interface [1..1] CRC4E1 CRC-4 (Cyclic Redundancy Check 4-bit) is used for most E1-PRI configurations.

Value space: On: The default value is On.Off: Some manufactures do not support this feature. By setting E1 CRC4 to Off this functionality will be disabled.

Example: xConfiguration E1 Interface 1 CRC4: On

http://www.cisco.com/go/isdnlink-docs

The Gateway configuration

xConfiguration Gateway SIP PeerUriSet the address be used to reach the peer codec for incoming H.320 side calls when SIP (VCS) registered mode is used. It should hold the same setting as the peer codec uses to register itself on the VCS server. If SIP registered mode is not used, this setting is not used. (VCS = Video Communication Server)

Value space: Format: Compact string with a maximum of 256 characters.

Example: xConfiguration Gateway SIP PeerUri: "[email protected]"

xConfiguration Gateway SIP PeerHostSet the IP address of the peer SIP codec using the ISDN link. Only one SIP codec can use the ISDN link, and it must be on the same subnet as the ISDN link. This IP address must correspond to the IP address type (IPv4 or IPv6) that the codec is configured to use for SIP calls.

The address is used for:

1) Verification of the SIP remote media transport addresses (if there is a mismatch, the call will be rejected/disconnected).
