Micro Abilis is a non-expandable device equipped with:

CPU: 500 MHz AMD Geode LX800
RAM: 256 MB DDR
BOOT DISK: CompactFlash 128MB

All Microabilis have three ethernet ports, two USB ports, 4 BRI, one COM port and a power out connector useful to supply UMTS BOX2.

There are thwo versions of microabilis:

equipped with 2 USB ports;
equipped with 4 USB ports ().

Micro Abilis is a device available in two versions:

4 BRI + 4 POTS
4 BRI only

	Warning
	the version with only 4BRI still mounts 4 POTS ports. These ports ARE NOT connected so they are NOT working!

Between the BRI ports and the POTS ports there are four integrated impedance matching adapters, so there's no more need to use ISDN adapters. Each BRI port has two correspondig switches: one for output twisted pair and one for input twisted pair. The default position is “ON” with the ISDN impedance activated (see figure below).

	Note
	All BRI ports are TE and not NT, so: a cross cable is needed to connect a PBX to Microabilis a straight cable is needed to connect an ISDN line to Microabilis

2.6.2. Number of pluggable usb devices to the same USB 1.1 OHCI/UHCI controller

This table shows the number of starmodems and UMTS/GSM boxes which can be connected to a Micro Abilis, depending on adsl lines download bandwitdth.

The limit is caused by the isochronous mode. The condition to satisfy is (n. of lines) x (line download bandwidth) + (n. of UMTS BOXes)< 9.6Mb.

	Tip
Type the following command to know which devices are connected to a certain USB controller: [09:14:40] ABILIS_CPX:`d usbdev` USB Server Overview: ID VendorId/Manufacturer ProductId/Product Ver UsbPortId ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 0000 On Time 0000 UHCI Virtual Root Hub 0.00 0 2 13FE 1D00 USB DISK 2.0 1.10 0.1 In the previous example, the usb DISK 2.0 is connected to the UCHI controller because the first number of the UsbPortId is 0 (the same of UHCI controller).

Type the following command to know which devices are connected to a certain USB controller:

[09:14:40] ABILIS_CPX:d usbdev
