6.1. Introduction

6.1.1. ABILIS ID and the class of product

Each Abilis CPX has a unique identifier which is visible on the serial number label.

It's easy to retrieve this identifier from a remote Abilis using the commands d i or d g. The identifier is named ABILIS-ID.

     Abilis CPX - Ver. 8.5.1/STD - Build 4238.7 - Branch 8.5 - 02/08/2017     
                            (c) 1994/2017 - Abilis

ABILIS-ID:  1800310                                                    <Read Only>

The ABILIS-ID indicates the class of the product followed by its Serial/Number.

Other features may be added purchasing additional licences and installing them using the steps in the chapter Section 6.1.2, “Licence management”.

The identification of the class is easy:

Table 6.1. Abilis ID and class of products

Number of digits of ABILIS IDClass of product
5 or less than 50 (legacy production)
6identified by the first, leftmost, number
7identified by the first two digits, leftmost, number

Examples:

  • ABILIS-ID: 2001 or ABILIS-ID: 50002 are of class 0

  • ABILIS-ID: 300049 has class 3, ABILIS-ID: 100031 has class 1

  • ABILIS-ID: 1600240 has class 16, ABILIS-ID: 1400031 has class 14

[Note]Note

If there's no ABILIS-ID, it means that Abilis isn't equipped with MFIDE device and so it belongs to FP class.

Below there is a table showing the Abilis CPX product classes.

6.1.2. Licence management

A licence is a text file whose name contains the ABILIS ID (e.g. LIC1-0000002001.TXT). It can be also a mail with the text of the licence file.

There are three ways to install a licence:

  • Upload the text file in the directory C:\LICENCE of the Abilis CPX compact flash using FTP (please refer to Chapter 37, FTP - File Transfer Protocol)

  • Upload the text file in the directory C:\LICENCE of the Abilis CPX compact flash using the command licence put for XMODEM or the command licence put z for ZMODEM (please refer to chapter Section 5.13.6, “FILE PUT”)

  • Copy and paste the licence text using the command licence set

[19:49:27] ABILIS_CPX:licence SET

Please enter the licence data and terminate with CTRL+Z + ENTER
(type CTRL+C + ENTER to abort):
