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.

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.
Support for wall and DIN rail mounting.
