Figure: Pcphone keypad
WebSocket is a real-time bidirectional communication protocol designed for efficient and secure data exchange between a client (web browser, application) and a server.
WebSocket Secure connections piggyback on the SSL/TLS handshake used by HTTPS, encrypting the data stream, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks and eavesdropping.
Users configured for this service can use it directly from the "Address Book" or "Recent Calls" or "OPC Panel" pages of the Phone section, simply by enabling the microphone in the browser.
Supported browsers are Chrome/Opera/Edge.

- MIO devices
-
-
MODBUS is a widely used, simple, and open communication protocol for industrial devices, (PLCs, sensors and other controllers).
It uses serial communication lines, Ethernet, or the Internet protocol suite as a transport layer.
It operates on a client-server (master-slave) model, where a client requests data from one or more servers, which respond with the requested information, making it a standard for connecting diverse devices and different vendors' equipment.
Here it is a schematic representation of how MODBUS devices (MIO) can be managed in Abilis:
Figure: MODBUS in Abilis
Once connected, MODBUS devices can be discovered, bound, configure and controlled by Abilis as any of the other I/O device.
The number of MIO resources that can be activated is limited by the value configured in IO resource and the new resource activation depends on license setting:

Examples of MODBUS devices include HMI hardware, I/O interfaces and modules, sensors, modems, device controllers, PLCs, network gateways, network host adapters, AC/DC inverters, RTUs, SCADA hardware, software device drivers, smart home devices, routers, etc.
Each device has hardware features and a set of specific information that depends on the manufacturer.
In order for a device to be used by Abilis, its characteristics must be known by Abilis.
For this purpose, Abilis maintains a device database, that contains profiles for a set of known devices, collecting factory information provided by the manufacturer.
Each profile is known within the system by a number and a name that uniquely identifies it, called 'HW-TYPE'.
The device database is stored on disk (in C:\APP\IO\MIO\ directory); it is part of the Abilis firmware and it is updated when the Abilis firmware is updated.
The database can be consulted from the command line by means of "HELP MODBUS DEVICES" commands
[16:02:46] ABILIS-CPX:help MODBUS devices ? HELP MODBUS DEVICES Show the list of supported MODBUS devices types according to the current devices db. HELP MODBUS DEVICES nnnnnn Show help on the given MODBUS device type, where 'nnnnnn' is a numeric HW-TYPE code or name.Sample of the devices database content:

- KNX devices
-
-
KNX is a standard for commercial and residential building automation. It can use twisted pair (in a tree, line or star topology), power-line, RF, or IP links.
An "ETS project" usually refers to the design of home automation systems (domotics) or buildings using the ETS (Engineering Tool Software) of the KNX standard,
The functions of the Abilis KNX driver are:
-
support for up to 7 KNX resources, meaning that up to 7 KNX buses can be connected to Abilis
-
loading an ETS project into an Abilis KNX resource, from which devices are imported with their communication objects and group addresses
-
reading/setting the status of communication objects (device I/Os)
-
integration with the Abilis IO manager, so it is possible to create automations with Lua scripts, create maps and monitor device I/Os.
An Abilis resource interfaces with the KNX bus via the Weinzierl KNX BAOS Module 830 device, with which it communicates via UART.
-
-
KNX resources are mainly managed in Abilis using command line interface.
Commands available for KNX resources management are listed below:
A RES:Knx-n Add new KNX resource C RES:Knx-n Delete an existing KNX resource D P[E] RES:Knx-n Display parameters of an existing KNX resource S P[E] RES:Knx-n Set parameters of an existing KNX resource INIT RES:Knx-n Refresh settings of an existing KNX resource D D[E] RES:Knx-n Display diagnostics of an existing KNX resource S S RES:Knx-n SLAVE:m DO:val ON|OFF Set status of DO Line [ON, OFF] S S RES:Knx-n SLAVE:m AO:val <num> Set value of AO Line
On resource addition, the resource identifier is limited by the maximum number of KNX devices configured in IO resource and the new resource activation depends on license setting:

Full KNX resource configuration is done by means of ETS project loading.
Only few parameters can be configured from Abilis, mainly the KNX device lower resource and the descriptions of the various objects (slave nodes, lines, group addresses).
Available commands are listed below:
KPROJ DISPLAY Display the list of KNX project files KPROJ LOAD <filename> RES:Knx-n Load a KNX project to the given KNX resource.
Once uploaded to Abilis, ETS projects files can be listed:
[16:30:56] ABILIS-CPX:KPROJ DISPLAY KNX projects available in 'C:\APP\IO\KNX\': File Date Time Size ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- test1-3levels.knxproj 06/10/2025 09:29:38 270320 test1-free.knxproj 06/10/2025 09:29:38 435821 test2-3levels.knxproj 06/10/2025 09:29:40 346369
A KNX project can be loaded for an already existing resource or for a new not yet existing resource.
If the resource already exists, it is completely reconfigured. Otherwise if the resource does not exist yet, it is created when the command is executed.
Sample output of KNX project loading is presented below:

- IPACL
-
-
The performance of the IPACL service has been significantly improved by introducing the use of a cache, where the results of checks performed on forwarded traffic are kept for a certain period of time.
The main benefits of this feature are a significant overall increase in throughput and a reduction in CPU consumption.
The cache size can be adjusted based on the environment needs, using the appropriate parameter:
[08:51:38] ABILIS-CPX:d ipacl IPRTR parameters: ACL:YES ACLBYPASS:# ACL-FIREWALL:YES COS:ENABLED COSDFT:NORMAL acl-cache:1000[09:04:02] ABILIS-CPX:d p res:iprtr ? acl-cache Iprtr resource parameters: acl-cache: Size of the cache used to store packets permitted by Access list [1000..50000].The parameter is not refreshable and when changed the system reboot is requested.
An additional a dedicated section in the IPRTR diagnostics shows the IPACL cache relevant informations:

- IPLOG
-
-
The IP monitor service now includes the possibility to trace IP addresses activity.
The service is named "IPLOG" and it can manage up to 32 IP addresses, which activity should be logged, i.e. for any configured IP address incoming/outgoing IP packets are traced.
Available commands for the IP logging feature are:
A/C/D/S IPLOG IP:x.x.x.x To add/clear/display/set an IP address INIT IPLOG To refresh configuration settings D D IPLOG IP:x.x.x.x To inspect the log of an IP address
Full support of IPLOG administration will be made available in a very short time also from the new web interface.

The IP addresses activity log is saved on disk (max 500 events per IP address):
[09:17:02] ABILIS-CPX:d p IPMON ? max-events IpMon resource parameters: max-events: Maximum number of events per IP address [50..500]
The full log of the single IP address can also be sent to a remote SYSLOG server.
For this purpose the range of the 'LOCAL-SOURCES' parameter of the SYSLOG driver has been extended by adding 'IPLOG' value:
[12:00:31] ABILIS-CPX:d p res:syslog ? local-sources SysLog resource parameters: LOCAL-SOURCES: Allowed message sources [#, L, LDM, NPV, CP, IPRES, ETHDEV, IPSEC, SIPREG, SIPCALL, HTTP, AIPT2, SMS, IPLOG, ALL], where: - # : no message source is allowed ... - IPLOG : IP address activity log Values can be joined using ',' (comma).
-
- AIPT2
-
-
Extended preferential traffic flow selection by adding 'MOBILE' option, for 3G/4G/5G mobile connections: it works similarly to VoIP, but without duplicate packets.
More specifically, it uses a score based on MISS (40%), JITTER (33%) and RTT (27%) to distribute traffic across paths. THR% is not considered. The minimum interval between one burst and the next is 6 hours.
[16:09:20] ABILIS-CPX:d p res:ip aipt2 ? CONTROL Ip (Abilis IP tunnel v.2) resource parameters: CONTROL: Controller activation and traffic selection [NONE, VoIP, VPN, STREAMING, SURFING, MOBILE], where: - NONE (default): No preferential traffic filters are used. - VoIP (Voice over IP): Original traffic is distributed on the most suitable path, while redundant traffic is sent on the second most suitable path. Path suitability is determined by total scores based on packet loss, JITTER, and RTT. - VPN (Interactive traffic, Interactive Video, Videogames): Traffic is distributed across paths according to the best combined score based on RTT, throughput, JITTER, and packet loss. - STREAMING (Video streaming): Traffic is sent over the path with the highest available throughput and packet loss as a secondary factor. - SURFING (Browsing): Traffic is sent over the path with the lowest packet loss, with throughput as a secondary factor. - MOBILE (for 3G/4G/5G mobile connections): Mobile works similarly to VoIP, but without duplicate packets. See also HELP AIPT2 CONTROL.

- SMS
-
-
Added the possibility to send a copy of outgoing SMS messages by e-mail to one or more SMTP recipients.
For this purpose new 'COPY-MAIL-TO' parameter is present in SMS router configuration and also in routings for outgoing messages.
Therefore the e-mail holding the copy of the SMS message can be sent/not-sent for any message or per routing.

-
Committed some sub-tasks to extra cores, greatly improving efficiency of processes.
Some of the most relevant:
-
AIPT2 transit collector calculation.
-
TRFA periodic IP data saving.
-
RSA primary key generation or public and private decryption and encryption.
-
-
- SNMP
-
-
Updated ABILIS-CPX-2-MIB by adding new groups for new services:
-
added 'cxMio' group for Mio resources diagnostics/statistic.
-
added 'cxKnx' group for KNX resources diagnostics/statistic.
-
added 'cxAsyu' group for Async USB resources diagnostics/statistic.
-
added 'cxE5G' group for Eth5G resources diagnostics/statistic.
-
added 'cxEWifi' group for EthWifi resources diagnostics/statistic.
-
added 'cxCtiPoDgWPotsTable' and 'cxCtiPoStWPotsTable' for WPOTS diagnostics/statistic.
-
added IPACL cache diagnostics to 'cxIpRtrDgTable'.
-
-
- LICENCE
-
-
Version 9.1.0, as well as versions 9.0.x, requires licence, with 'MAXVER' minimum value set to '9'.
-
Starting from this version OSPF and CHAT services will be free. Therefore 'OSPF' and 'CHAT' permissions becomes obsolete.
-
Added 'MIO' permission, for the number of MODBUS resources that can be activated [0, 1..15].
-
Added 'KNX' permission, for the number of KNX resources that can be activated [0, 1..7].
-
- TRACE
-
-
The time stamp precision of the internal NCB trace is now in microseconds, while in previous versions it was in milliseconds.
The file format changed, the version is now v.12.1, anyway Trace management tools, which use and convert NCB's internal trace files, still support all previous versions.
-
No longer supported features
- Users
-
-
Restricted range of 'ADDRBOOK-PUB-EDITABLE' parameter from [SYS, NO, YES] to [NO, YES] and removed 'ADDRBOOK-PUB-EDITABLE' parameter from CTISYS.
[17:27:50] ABILIS-CPX:d user:a ? addrbook-pub-editable User's parameters: ADDRBOOK-PUB-EDITABLE: Enable the user to add/delete/update 'public' contacts of Abilis Address Book [NO, YES] User 'super' is always enabled. User 'admin' is always enabled. User 'guest' is always disabled.The 'SYS' value is no longer supported, therefore starting from this release, user capabilities on public contacts in the Abilis address book must be established by the user administrators on a user-by-user basis.
Public contact editing is disabled by default for users who aren't at least administrators.
Moreover users having 'ADDRBOOK-PUB-EDITABLE' parameter set to 'SYS' in the previous releases, will have it converted to 'YES' if they are at least administrators, otherwise 'SYS' value is converted to 'NO'.
-
- General
-
-
General 'SYSNAME' parameter no longer has the same meaning it had in the past, instead it now coincides with the Control Port prompt.
Therefore, setting the Control Port prompt value will effect also the 'SYSNAME' present in the general system configuration and vcv.
