2.2 CLI Structure
2.2.1 Authentication
When the device is accessed, the user is prompted to enter the device administrator’s
Username and Password.
The device administrator’s credentials are common to all AudioCodes management
interfaces (e.g. Web).
The default username and password are ‘Admin’, ‘Admin’ respectively.
2.2.2 Understanding Configuration Modes
As you begin communication, you should understand the command modes. Each command
mode enables the user to access more commands and to make more changes in
thedevice’s configuration.
The CLI has two command modes:
Enable
The two command modes are organized in a two-tiered hierarchy with Basic at the bottom
and Enable at the top.
2.2.2.1 Basic Command Mode
Interaction with your device begins at the Basic Command Mode. The commands
supported by this command tier are limited, as is interaction with the device itself. The Basic
Mode is for users without access to the higher-tiered commands, to keep them from
changing the preferred configurations of the device.
The Basic Mode is accessed by beginning a CLI session (after successful authentication)
and it enables the user to display system information and activate several debugging
facilities.
The Basic Mode prompt is ‘>’.
2.2.2.2 Enable Command Mode
Enable Command Mode is the high-level tier in the command hierarchy, basically one step
up from the Basic Mode. A password (‘Admin’ by default) is required to access the Enable
Mode.
From the Enable Mode, you can access the configurations of your product as well as
handle how your device boots and runs, among other things.
The Enable Mode is accessed by entering 'enable' while in the Basic Command Mode.
The Enable Mode prompt is ‘#’.
