# Enable ASE to ABS engine communication

To start communication between ASE and the AI engine, run the following command:

```
./cli.sh enable_abs –u admin -p
```

To confirm an ASE Node is communicating with ABS, issue the ASE status command:

```
/opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh status
Ping Identity Inc., API Security Enforcer
status              : started

firewall            : enabled
abs                 : enabled, ssl: enabled   (If ABS is enabled, then ASE is communicating with ABS)
