Access to the pascom CLI Interface
The pascom CLI is a text-based (TUI) interface in which you can use various commands for debugging. The basis of this interface forms the Asterisk core system, which is integrated in the pascom telephone system.
To access the CLI interface, click on the small black shell symbol in the upper left corner of the Admin Web Interface.
You are now in the pascom CLI
From here you can use Asterisk commands to debug the pascom telephone system, evaluate telephone calls, read out channels and connections and much more.

Root access to the pascom telephone system
The pascom telephone system operates on a Linux system to which you have full root access in the onsite version. This allows you to access the file system of the pascom telephone system.
Determine IP address
To access the system, you need the IP address of the telephone system. If you have purchased a pre-installed IP telephone system, please refer to the IP on the supplement or the label on the network interfaces. If you are not sure of the IP address, you can connect a monitor to the pascom and read the IP on the pascom TUI. Alternatively, use network scanners such as Nmap or look at the IP table of your DHCP server.
Access via SSH
Use a terminal of your choice (e.g. Putty for Windows) and log in:
ssh admin@192.168.100.1
User: admin
Password: assigned by you
You will then need root rights, otherwise access will be very restricted. You can get this with the command su or sudo su and by entering the password you used before.
