Syntax Conventions
The following conventions are used for the API commands.
All of the commands are case sensitive
.
Although the API command parser accepts the minimum number of characters in a
command which makes it unique, you should always use the full command string when
writing applications to run the VSX system. The shortcuts are merely to save time when
testing or developing an application.
Convention Meaning
<param>
<param1|param2>
Required parameter. Multiple parameters are separated by the
pipe (“|”) character.
Example: allowdialing <yes|no|get>
This shows that the allowdialing command must be followed by
one of the arguments listed.
[param]
[“param”]
Optional parameter. Quotation marks indicate strings to be sup-
plied by the user.

entering strings that contain spaces.
To set My VSX Password as the administrator password, you
