Router Hardware Description
Router Overview
The router provides reliable and secure real-time communication between network systems and the many devices that
exist on the distribution grid, including meters, sensors, protection relays, Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), plug-in
electric vehicle (PEV) charging stations, and distributed solar farms. Network data is forwarded and processed over
secure communication links between devices within the distribution grid for local decision processing.
Additionally, this data is sent to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and other management
systems. The router supports physical connection to legacy distribution automation (DA) devices (over the serial port);
the data from these devices can also be sent to central SCADA systems using protocol translation over the IP network.

Ruggedized Connected Grid modules provide connectivity to network
endpoints, such as smart meters and DA devices.
Ethernet connections to the backhaul network and other IP network devices.
RS232/RS485 serial ports for optional connections to existing or legacy
equipment.
A RJ-45 console port provides local access to the router for management and
administration tasks.
An external, default 2 GB SD Flash Memory Module stores the router
configuration and data provides ease of managing router configurations.
A Type A USB port for an optional connection to USB storage or other device,
and provides power to the device.
An integrated GPS can provide accurate time and location information to the
system when used with an optional GPS antenna (ordered separately from
Cisco).
An integrated 802.11b/g/n wireless access point provides short range wireless
access to the router, when used with an optional WiFi antenna (ordered
separately from Cisco). Wireless access enables local management over a WiFi
connection to the router from outside the substation or utility box.
