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
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.

Chassis Cable Ports
The router chassis has the following cable ports for router network and power cables:

cabling. The router supports installation of a compatible radio, as described in Installing Non-Cisco
Modules.
network cabling, as described in Installing the Router.
Cable Glands
OL-12345-01
A cable gland (also known as a cable connector) is required to install cables in the chassis cable ports.
Use a compatible cable gland to attach and secure the end of a cable to the router. The cable gland
provides cable strain relief and seals the cable entry into the router chassis to prevent damage to the
router interior.
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.
CautionThis 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.
NoteThe 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.
Connecting to the Console Port
Detailed information about connecting and using the console port is in the chapter Installing the Router.
