About the TANDBERG API
The heart of the API is the TANDBERG
API-Engine. This is where all information is
stored and processed.
The API engine can be accessed by an
easy-to-use Command Line Interface
called XACLI using RS-232/Telnet/SSH, or
by the TANDBERG XML API Service (TXAS)
over HTTP/HT TPS.
Both alternatives are described in detail
in this section of the System Integrator
Guide.

TANDBERG API
Basic Principles
The heart of the API is the TANDBERG APIEngine. This is where all information is stored and
processed.
The API-engine can be accessed by an easy-touse Command Line Interface called XACLI using
RS-232, Telnet or SSH, or by the TANDBERG XML
API Service (TX AS) over HTTP/HT TPS.
Working with the API-engine is very similar to
working with catalogues and files on a computer.
All information is stored in a hierarchic tree
structure which is accessible from different
interfaces.
When accessing the API-engine using XACLI •
(RS-232, Telnet or SSH ), the information is
formatted in a proprietar y Command Line style
or in XML formatting.
When accessing the API-engine using the T XAS •
interface (HTTP/HTTPS), XML formatting is
supported.
This is similar to viewing files on a computer.
Accessing catalogues on a Windows computer
using the Command Prompt gives a different view
than using Windows Explorer, but the information
is the same.
About Telnet
Telnet is disabled by default. Before connecting to
the codec using Telnet you will need to enable the
interface via either RS-232 or SSH.
The following command can be set from the
Administrator settings menu or from the API
command interface:

The TANDBERG API-Engine
The TANDBERG API-Engine is optimized for easy, yet advanced, machine-machine interaction between a
TANDBERG system and an external control application.
The main features can be summarized to:
Structuring of information•
Addressing using XPath (XML Path Language) or TANDBERG SimplePath•
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.
Main types of information
If we look at the TANDBERG systems we can
identify three main types of information
READ• information (R )
WRITE• information (W )
READ/WRITE• information (RW)
(R) READ information. This is Status Information
about the system and system processes, i.e.
information generated by the system.
Typical examples include: status 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 process changes.
(W) WRITE information. This is Command
information the user/control application supply to
initiate an action.
Typical examples include: instructing the system
to place a call, assigning floor to a specific site,
disconnecting a call 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. This is
Configuration Information defining system settings.
This information can both be supplied and read
by the user/control application. Typical examples
include: default call rate, baud rate of a serial port,
enabling/disabling of various features etc.
All configuration information is structured in a
hierarchy making up a database of system settings.
But for the Configuration information, the data in
the database can only be updated by the user/
control application.
D14128.02—NOVEMBER 2008
Consequently, the exchange of information can be divided into:
Information flowing from target. This we call 1. READ information (R). The (R ) should not be confused with
the (r) used to indicate required parameters in the Commands tables.
Information flowing to target. This we call 2. WRITE information (W ).

System Integrator Guide
Addressing Using XPath or TANDBERG SimplePath
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 af ter the element name:
Network[1]/DNS Server[1]/Address•
Example:
xConfiguration Network[1]/DNS Server[1]/Address
*c xConfig uration Network 1 DNS Se rve r 1 Add ress:
“tes t”
OK
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 Ser ver 1 Address•
Feedback
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.
Example:
xConfiguration Network 1 DNS Ser ver 1 Ad dress
*c xConfig uration Network 1 DNS Se rve r 1 Add ress:
“tes t”
OK

Connecting to the codec
The COM Port at TANDBERG Codec C90
Accessing XACLI
XACLI can be accessed through Telnet and 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 TANDBERG Codec C90. See the illustration to the
right.
The por t is configured as a DCE (Data Communications Equipment).
The COM port (RS-232) is default set to 38400 baud, 8 data bits,
none parity and 1 stop bit from factory. The port may also be referred
to as the Data port.
Telnet/SSH login
Telnet is by default disabled. This can be changed with a configuration
command: xConfiguration NetworkServices Telnet Mode: On/Off
xConfiguration NetworkSer vices Telnet Mode: On•
Telnet/SSH login
User name is: •adm in
Default password is: •TAN DBERG
Serial port login
The serial por t is password protected by default. The password
protection may be configured.
User name is: •adm in
Default password is: •TAN DBERG
Serial port configurations
On the serial por t the baud rate and password protection may be
configured.
Reboot. The system requires a reboot for the changes to baud rate
and password protection to take effect.
NOTE: When system boots up the baud rate of the boot messages is
38400 regardless of the baud rate set in the codec application.

Main type of commands
The XACLI is divided into three main types of
commands, reflecting the information types
suppor ted by the TANDBERG API Engine.
The main types are:
Configuration type commands•
Status type commands•
Command type commands•
Configuration type commands
Configuration type commands defines the system
settings. Configuration t ype 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
Special commands
In addition to the above sets of commands, XACLI
suppor ts the following set of special commands:
Command type commands
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
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.
Status type commands
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
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 ver y simple.

TANDBERG XML API service
TXAS is a ser vice provided by TANDBERG units for transmitting and
receiving (transceiving) information encoded in XML format.
The API uses HTTP(S) as the transport mechanism and connects to
the normal web por t (80). TXAS can be accessed by bare-bone HT TP
requests where URL’s uniquely identifies the request.
Bare-bone HTTP/HTTPS Access
The bare-bone HTTP mode uses a unique URL to identify the specific
request. The contents of the HT TP body will be a XML document (or
part of it).
Bare-bone HTTP(S) access is accomplished by passing arguments
in the query string (af ter ‘?’ in URL) in a GET request, or using the
“application/x-www-form-urlencoded” content-type method of
POSTing form data ( Each argument starts with a name ‘=’ and a
value, and every parameter separated with ‘&’ (and opt NL).)
getxml
/getxml request returns an XML document based on the location parameter passed to the request. The elements (or complete document)
matching the expression will be returned.
On Incorrect XPath expression, a <Fault> element with a <XPathError> element will be returned.
getxml
REQUEST:
/getxml
PARA M:
location = XPath ex pression
formputxml
This is most useful in a POST (to extend character limit of 255 of GET urls). It posts a Configuration or Command document to set the
configurations or issue a command.
Like getxml, it has the data URL form-data encoded with one single parameter. The Content-Type of the document must be of type
“application/x-www-form-urlencoded” and the body must be encoded accordingly (e.g. first line will be xmldoc= <then the document>).
formputxml
REQUEST:
/formp utxml
PAR A M:
xm ldoc = “an XML document of Config uration, Directory or Co mmand”
putxml
Putxml is like formputxml+, put uses the complete BODY as argument (i.e. the content of the xmldoc parameter). The Content-type should be
“text/xml” or “application/xml” ( or “ text/plain”), though no check at the moment. (Except for application/x-www-form-url encoded which will
cause a failure).

In 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 the TANDBERG web site regularly for updated versions of the manual.
Go to: http://www.tandberg.com/docs
NOTE: The description of the xConfiguration commands are preliminary, and subject to change.
The Audio settings
xConfiguration Audio Volume: <0..100>
Sets the volume level [ 0-100] on the loudspeaker output in steps of 0.5dB from -34.5dB to 15dB. Volume 0
= Off.
The volume level bar which is displayed on screen, when using the remote control, goes from 0 to 20.
The echo canceller continuously adjusts itself to the audio characteristics of the room and compensate for
any changes it detects in the audio environment. If the changes in the audio conditions are ver y significant
the echo canceller may take a second or two to re-adjust. Addresses the specific microphone.
On: Echo Control is normally set to On to prevent the far end from hearing their own audio. Once selected,
echo cancellation is active at all times.
Off: Echo Control should be switched Off if external echo cancellation or playback equipment is used.
Example: xCon figu ration Audio Input Microphone 1 EchoControl Mod e: On
The system has a built-in noise reduction which reduces constant background noise ( e.g. noise from airconditioning systems, cooling fans etc.). In addition, a high pass filter (Humfilter) reduces very low frequency
noise. Requires the Echo Control Mode to be enabled for the specified microphone. Addresses the specific
microphone.
On: The Noice Reduction should be set to On in the presence of low frequency noise.
Off: Turns Noise Reduction Off for the specified microphone input.
The microphone inputs are intended for electret type microphones. The microphone inputs are balanced
with 48 V phantom power. The microphone input can be set to line or microphone mode. Addresses the
specific microphone.
Microphone: Phantom voltage and pre-amplification is On
Line: Select Line when you have a standard balanced line input. The phantom voltage and pre-amplification
is Off.
Example: xCon figu ration Audio Input Microphone 1 T yp e: Line
By default, all inputs are enabled. Just plug in an audio source and it is active. Audio inputs that are On
will automatically be mixed. Unconnected inputs will automatically be muted. Addresses the specific
microphone.
On: Turns the microphone On.
Off: Connected but unused inputs should be set to Off to prevent audio /noise from the inputs.
Example: xCon figu ration Audio Input Microphone 1 Mo de: On
Determines whether or not the audio channel on the HDMI input should be active. The HDMI 3 and HDMI 4
has audio channels. Addresses the specific Audio HDMI input.
On: Set to On to enable the audio channel on the HDMI input 3 or 4.
Off: Set to On to disable the audio channel on the HDMI input.
Example: xCon figu ration Audio Input HDMI 3 Mode: On
xConfiguration Audio Input Line [1..4] Mode: <On/ Off>
Determines whether or not an Audio Line input is active. Addresses the specific Audio Line input.
On: Set to On to enable the Audio Line input.
Off: Set to Off to disable the Audio Line input.

Example: xCon figu ration Conference 1 D efaultCall Rate: 766
The H.323 Port Allocation setting af fects the H.245 port numbers used for H.323 call signalling.
Dynamic: The system will allocate which ports to use when opening a TCP connection. The reason for doing
this is to avoid using the same por ts for subsequent calls, as some firewalls consider this as a sign of attack.
When Dynamic is selected, the H.323 por ts used are from 11000 to 20999. Once 20999 is reached they
restar t again at 11000. For RTP and RTCP media data, the system is using UDP ports in the range 2326 to
2487. Each media channel is using two adjacent ports, ie 2330 and 2331 for RTP and RTCP respectively.
The por ts are automatically selected by the system within the given range. Firewall administrators should not
try to deduce which ports are used when, as the allocation schema within the mentioned range may change
without any further notice.

The H.323 Call Setup Mode defines whether to use a Gatekeeper or Direct calling when establishing H323
calls.
Direct: An IP-address must be used when dialling in order to make the H323 call.
Gatekeeper: The system will use a Gatekeeper to make a H.323 call. When selecting this option the H323
Profile Gatekeeper Address and H323 Profile Gatekeeper Discovery settings must also be configured.
NOTE! Direct H.323 calls can be made even though the H.323 Call Setup Mode is set to Gatekeeper.
Specifies the IP address of the Gatekeeper. Requires the H.323 Call Setup Mode to be set to Gatekeeper
and the Gatekeeper Discovery to be set to Manual.
Determines how the system shall register to a H.323 Gatekeeper.
Manual: The system will use a specific Gatekeeper identified by the Gatekeeper’s IP-address.
Auto: The system will automatically tr y to register to any available Gatekeeper. If a Gatekeeper responds
to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this specific Gatekeeper will be used. This requires
that the Gatekeeper is in auto discovery mode as well. If no Gatekeeper responds, the system will not use a
Gatekeeper for making H.323 calls and hence an IP-address must be specified manually.
The system sends the Authentication Login Name and the Authentication Password to a H.323 Gatekeeper
for authentication. The authentication is a one way authentication from the codec to the H.323 Gatekeeper,
i.e. the system is authenticated to the gatekeeper. If the H.323 Gatekeeper indicates that no authentication
is required, the system will still try to register. Requires the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode to be
enabled.
