Soundstructure Authentication Api Command Summary - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

Note: Factory Resetting Erases all System Settings
Factory resetting a SoundStructure system will erase all system settings in the
device including the configuration file, all SoundStructure VoIP interface settings,
and will reset the SoundStructure system password to the default of 456 and set the
operating mode to 'open'.
To save your SoundStructure VoIP Interface settings, power down the
SoundStructure system and remove the SoundStructure VoIP Interface before
factory resetting the SoundStructure system.

SoundStructure Authentication API Command Summary

New SoundStructure API parameters and a new SoundStructure command action were added to support
authentication.
Authenticate
The authenticate command action allows a user to authenticate to a SoundStructure system. The command
syntax is:
authenticate "username" "password"
where username should be set to "admin" and the password must match the password configured for the
system. By default the password is set to 456 and a default system could be authenticated with the
command:
authenticate "admin" "456"
The system would respond with the acknowledgment
authenticated
If the password is not correct, the system will respond with:
error "authentication failed"
