Well We Succeeded! How To Administer The Video Conferencing Device - Cisco Webex DX70 Administrator's Manual

Cisco Webex DX70 and DX80

Introduction Introduction
How to administer the video conferencing device
In general, we recommend you to use the web interface
to administer and maintain the device, as described in
this administrator guide.
Alternatively, you can access the API of the device by
other methods:
• HTTP/HTTPS (also used by the web interface)
• WebSocket
• Telnet
• SSH
• Serial connection
If you want more information about the different access
methods, and how to use the API, refer to the API guide
for the device.
Tip
If the configuration or status is available in the API, the
web interface setting or status translates into an API
configuration or status as follows:
Set X > Y > Z to Value (web)
is the same as
xConfiguration X Y Z: Value
(API)
Check X > Y > Z status (web)
is the same as
xStatus X Y Z
(API)
For example:
Set SystemUnit > Name to MySystem
is the same as
xConfiguration SystemUnit Name: MySystem
Check SystemUnit > Software > Version
is the same as
xStatus SystemUnit Software Version
More settings and statuses are available in the web
interface than in the API.

If all access methods are disabled (set to Off), you can no longer configure the device. You are not able to re-enable
(set to On) any of the access methods, and you must factory reset the device to recover.

• HTTP: Enabled by default only for devices that have been
upgraded to CE9.4 (or later) from an earlier software
version, provided that the device has not been factory
reset after the upgrade
• Tied to HTTP, so that also HTTP or HTTPS must be
enabled before you can use WebSocket
• Encrypted (wss) or unencrypted (ws) communication
• Disabled by default
• Non-secure TCP/IP connection
• Disabled by default
• Secure TCP/IP connection
