5.13. System management

In this section the most frequently used commands about system management are shown.

With conf and conflog commands it is possible to copy, restore or save configuration and Log files. Below there's the commands syntax:

[15:43:26] ABILIS_CPX:conflog ?

BACKUP         Copy configuration and log files to removable disk
RESTORE        Load configuration files from removable disk

Interesting chapter: Section 67.8, “How to copy files using a removable drive”.

With file commands it is possible to copy/delete a file or to transfer a file from and to Abilis CF/HD. Abilis supports XMODEM, XMODEM-1K, ZMODEM protocols for file transfer, from and to Abilis (use a terminal emulator which is compatible with the protocols mentioned above, to transfer files or system releases).

[15:43:26] ABILIS_CPX:file ?

COPY           Make a copy of a file
DELETE         Delete a file
GET            Send a file using XMODEM or XMODEM-1K or ZMODEM
PUT            Receive a file using XMODEM or XMODEM-1K or ZMODEM

With sys commands it is possible to manage Abilis CPX system software.

The following command displays the syntax:

[15:43:26] ABILIS_CPX:sys ?

5.13.11. SYS UPDATE

This command makes possible the system software update in two ways:

  • By receiving from a remote source the package file holding the updated software and installing it on the CF/HD in a proper version directory.

    The transfer procedure signals its availability to receive the package file by the following messages:

    [18:01:32] ABILIS_CPX:sys update
    
    SYSTEM UPDATE PROCEDURE
    PLEASE UPLOAD THE PACKAGE FILE.
    
    READY TO RECEIVE PACKAGE...

    When the transfer is completed the following message is shown:

    PACKAGE TRANSFER ENDED, PRESS <ENTER> TO CONTINUE...

    Once the Enter button is pressed by the User, if the transfer was successful, an informative message will be shown and the system will start the received package integrity check procedure. If the received package passes the validation procedure, the software extraction and installation takes place.

    PACKAGE TRANSFER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED
    
    RECEIVED PACKAGE CHECK and EXTRACTION IN PROGRESS...
    CHECK PASSED, EXTRACTION DONE.
    
    VERSION '8-0-2' SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED.
  • By a package file already present in the 'C:\PKG' directory, installing it on the HD/CF in a proper version directory.

    In this case the package file name specification is required by the User on the command line: sys update <package>. The <package> string must be the name of a package file located in 'C:\PKG' or an absolute package file name (i.e. the full path is required). If the specified package file is not present, the message “FILE 'C:\PKG\<package> NOT FOUND” will be shown.

    The procedure starts with a package integrity check. If the package passes the validation phase, the software extraction and installation takes place.

    [18:01:32] ABILIS_CPX:sys update 8-0-2
    
    PACKAGE 'C:\PKG\8-0-2.PKG' CHECK and EXTRACTION IN PROGRESS (8-0-2)...
    CHECK PASSED, EXTRACTION DONE.
    
    VERSION '8-0-2' SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED.

If the package verifications and extraction is successful, the package file is always deleted.

If the procedure fails for any reason, the package deletion takes place only after the User confirmation.

The list of currently available package files can be displayed by the command sys display packages; while a package file can be deleted by the command sys delete package.

Once a new software version is installed on the system, it can be set to be loaded at next system startup by the command sys set boot version. The list of currently available versions can be displayed by the command sys display versions. Old versions, not longer useful, can be deleted by the command sys delete version.

5.13.12. SYS DIR

It shows the directory listing of the specified path.

[14:26:13] ABILIS_CPX:sys dir c:\
