Adtran ValueError: Failed to enter enable mode.

I am running into an issue when trying to get into an Adtran TA5004.

It comes up with the error ValueError: Failed to enter enable mode. Please ensure you pass the 'secret' argument to ConnectHandler.

Here is the code I am using to try and send the commands

from netmiko import ConnectHandler

olt = {
        'device_type': 'adtran_os',
        'ip': '10.0.0.10',
        'username': 'ADMIN',
        'password': 'PASSWORD',
        'secret': '',
        'session_log': 'adtran_output.txt'
}

config_commands = ['do show system parameters']
print(config_commands)

all_devices = [olt]
for devices in all_devices:
    net_connect = ConnectHandler(**devices)
    net_connect.enable()
    output = net_connect.send_config_set(config_commands)
    print(output)

Have also got a session log if that helps

Last Login Date      : Jan  1 2000 00:46:17 
Last Login Type      : IP Session(CLI) 
Login Failures       : 0 (Since Last Login)
                     : 4 (Total for Account)

The OLT doesn’t have a secret enabled, and just seems like there is an issue with using net_connect.enable() on the device, it doesn’t seem to be grabbing the secret value Thinking it might be down to the OLT having a different command dictionary compared to regular AOS, but I’m not 100% on that

Sorry if this has been answered before and I missed it

Guessing this is what you are wanting (still new to all this):

The reason I am trying the show command is just to have it as a test before fully deploying it

It looks slightly different to that pull request as it doesn’t ask for a password, it goes straight into enable mode
