Router Overview

Router Applications Overview

The Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router is designed for use in Field Area Networks (FANs) in North American power distribution grids, and in regions with similar distribution grid architectures. A FAN can also be referred to as a Neighborhood Area Network (NAN). The Smart Grid FAN is a distribution system in which power generation and transmission are linked to the power consumers.

The router provides an end-to-end communication network that enables increased power grid efficiency and reliability, reduced energy consumption, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The router also enables distributed intelligence for converged smart grid applications, including:

• Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

• Demand Response (DR)

• Distribution Automation (DA)

• Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), also known as Renewable Energy Sources

(RES) and Distributed Generation (DG)

• Power asset management

• Workforce automation

Router Overview

DEC. 2011—EFT REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

The router provides reliable and secure real-time communication between the FAN network systems and the millions of devices that exist on the FAN, including as 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) and other management systems.

Console Port

The router features a single, asynchronous console port (see Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-11) for connecting a console or PC directly to the router. To configure the router locally, using the command-line interface (CLI), you must establish a connection to the router with a terminal session.

Caution This port does not support cable glands and therefore the router interior is exposed to environmental

elements while the port is in use. This port should be exposed only during active terminal sessions with the router and should never be left unattended when exposed.

Note The router also supports wireless console connections with an internal Short-Range Access Point.

Console Port Default Settings

The console port does not support hardware flow control. The default settings for the port are: 9600

baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

–

Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It can occur if electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:

• Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.

• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to

an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.

• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.

Caution For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should

be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

Poletop Installation Requirements

The installation steps in this manual (Installing the Router) require that the router mounting and installation locations, usually at the top of a power or other utility pole, have the following connections available for basic router installation:

• AC power connection

• Fast Ethernet connection, as described in the section Ethernet Connections, page 3-5

Environmental Requirements

The location of your router is an important consideration for proper operation. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns, and can make maintenance difficult. Plan for access to both power supply side and cable side panels of the router.

If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or an unusually high number of errors with your existing equipment, these precautions and recommendations may help you isolate the cause of failure and prevent future problems.

Chapter 3 Installation Safety and Site Preparation

• Always follow ESD-prevention procedures described in the Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Damage, page 3-2 to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause

immediate or intermittent equipment failure.

• Ensure that the chassis door closes securely and that all empty module slots and have filler panels

installed.

• When other equipment is installed on or connected to the router, try operating the router by itself,

if possible. Power off other equipment (such as USB devices and installed third-party modules) to allow the router under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.

FCC Safety Compliance Statement

The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 9608, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco antennas, Cisco products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991.
