	Chapter 1. About Abilis CPX

The internal structure of Abilis CPX is represented in the following scheme.

Figure 1.2. Top level scheme

Hardware is composed of devices which provide an interface to different kinds of networks (Internet, ISDN, GSM, etc.).

The storage device is used to keep the operating system, the configuration and log files; generally, it's a Compact Flash, or optionally a Hard Disk.

A Watchdog is dedicated to the control of the normal operational cycle.

The software is made up of different modules (or resources) providing a full scale of services.

There are three ways to configure Abilis:

using the Control Port that allows configuration and supervising functions;
using the Web Interface which allows to do many but not all operations;
using the config.exe utility program which is a console mode Windows application which precisely reproduces the same Control Port interface and command language available on a working Abilis CPX.

	Note
	Simplest operations, like software installation or recovery, can also be done using the front panel of MFIDE module.

It's also possible to configure Abilis CPX without connecting to the Control Port, using the config.exe utility program.
