# 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 admin
```

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

```
/opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh status
API Security Enforcer
status              : started
mode                : inline
http/ws             : port 8080
https/wss           : port 8443
firewall            : enabled
abs                 : enabled, ssl: enabled (If ABS is enabled, then ASE is communicating with ABS)
abs attack          : disabled
audit               : enabled
ase detected attack : disabled
