Chapter 2 Installation Safety and Site Preparation
Safety with Electricity
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
• Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. If an electrical
accident occurs, you can quickly turn off the power.
• Disconnect all power before doing the following:
–
Installing or removing a chassis
–
Working near power supplies
• Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.
• Do not work alone if hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
• Never open the enclosure of the router’s internal power supply.
• If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
–
Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
Safety Recommendations
–
Turn off power to the device.
–
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the victim’s condition and
then call for help.
–
Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take
appropriate action.
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Statement 1001
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, touch a metal part of the chassis to discharge any electromagnetic build
up.
OL-26438-01
CautionFor the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of your
router. Ensure that the site is properly prepared before beginning installation. If you are experiencing
shutdowns or unusually high errors with your existing equipment, this section can also help you isolate
the cause of failures and prevent future problems.
Rack Mounting
The router is designed for mounting on a DIN rail, or a wall. Cisco recommends that the router not be
rack mounted. However, if you install the router in a rack, follow these guidelines:
• Allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.
• Allow at least one rack unit of vertical space between routers.
• Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each
router generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports
of the equipment above.
Chapter 2 Installation Safety and Site Preparation
Router Environmental Requirements
The location of your router and the layout of the substation environment are important considerations
for proper router operation. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and
inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns, and can make maintenance difficult.
Install the router so that you can access both the module-side and the cable-side panels.
When planning your site layout and equipment locations, refer to General Site Requirements, page 2-4.
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.
• Ensure that the room where your router operates has adequate air circulation. Electrical equipment
generates heat. Without adequate air circulation, ambient air temperature may not cool equipment
to acceptable operating temperatures.
• Always follow ESD-prevention procedures described in Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Damage, page 2-3, to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause
immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
• Ensure that the chassis cover and module cable side panels are secure. All empty module slots and
power supply bays must have filler panels installed.
• When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails, try operating the
equipment by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to
allow the router under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.
Power Guidelines and Requirements
Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving “clean” power (free of spikes and noise).
Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Chapter 2 Installation Safety and Site Preparation
The AC power supply includes the autoselect feature for either 110 V or 220 V operation.
Network Cabling Specifications
The following sections describe the cables needed to install the router:
• Preparing for Network Connections, page 2-5
• Preparing for Network Connections, page 2-5
Preparing for Network Connections
When setting up your router, consider distance limitations and potential electromagnetic interference
(EMI) as defined by the applicable local and international regulations.
Network connection considerations are provided for several types of network interfaces and are
described in the following sections:
• Ethernet Connections, page 2-5
Network Cabling Specifications
• Serial Connections, page 2-5
Ethernet Connections
The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The router supports the following Ethernet
implementations:
• 1000BASE-X—1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded
• 1000BASE-T—1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded
• 100BASE-TX—100 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded
Serial Connections
The router supports serial connections on the serial ports. Before you connect a device to a serial port,
you need to know the following:
• Type of device, data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE), you are
• Type of connector, male or female, required to connect to the device

• Signaling standard required by the device
Configuring Serial Connections
The router serial ports user a supported cable with a DB-25 connector. Serial ports can be configured as
DTE or DCE, depending on the serial cable used.
A device that communicates over a synchronous serial interface is either a DCE or DTE device. A DCE
device provides a clock signal that paces the communications between the device and the router. A DTE
device does not provide a clock signal. DTE devices usually connect to DCE devices. The documentation
that accompanied the device should indicate whether it is a DTE or DCE device. (Some devices have a
jumper to select either DTE or DCE mode.) Tab le 2-1 lists typical DTE and DCE devices.

Signaling Standards Supported
The synchronous serial ports available for the router support the following signaling standards:
EIA/TIA-232 (EIA-323). You can order a Cisco DB-25 shielded serial transition cable that has the
appropriate connector for the standard you specify. The documentation for the device should indicate the
standard used for that device. The router end of the shielded serial transition cable has a DB-25
connector, which connects to the DB-25 port on the router. The other end of the serial transition cable is
available with a connector appropriate for the standard you specific.
The synchronous serial port can be configured as DTE or DCE, depending on the attached cable.
All serial ports configured as DTE require external clocking from a CSU/DSU or other DCE device.
Distance Limitations
Serial signals can travel a limited distance at any given bit rate; generally, the slower the data rate, the
greater the distance. All serial signals are subject to distance limits, beyond which a signal significantly
degrades or is completely lost.
Table 2-2 lists the recommended maximum speeds and distances for each serial interface type; however,
you might get good results at speeds and distances greater than those listed, if you understand the
electrical problems that might arise and can compensate for them. For instance, the recommended
maximum rate for V.35 is 2 Mb/s, but 4 Mb/s is commonly used.

Applications Overview
The Cisco 1120 Connected Grid Router is a ruggedized communication platform, designed for use
inside substations or utility cabinets. This platform is built to meet the communication infrastructure
needs of electric, gas, and water utilities.
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:
• Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
• Remote workforce automation
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.

Before Installing
Before following any installation procedures in this chapter, read the following topics in this section:
The procedures in this chapter assume that you have prepared the installation site according to the
information in the Installation Safety and Site Preparation chapter.
Before performing any of the tasks in this chapter, read the safety warnings in this section and in the
Installation Safety and Site Preparation chapter.
Connecting the Router to Power
Before you make network connections, your router should be connected to the AC power source and
powered on as described in the chapter, Connecting the Router to Power.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Many of the components discussed in this chapter are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage,
which can occur when electronic cards or components are handled improperly, which can result in
complete or intermittent failures.
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
Chapter 6 Making Network Connections
• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
• Place a removed memory card on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If the card will be
returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
• Avoid contact between the card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD voltages
on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete.
Cabling Guidelines
Follow these guidelines for using cables with the router:
• Follow the recommended Router Orientation When Mounting, page 4-3, to prevent cable strain.
• Position cables so that they do not place strain on the router connectors.
• Organize cables into bundles when necessary to avoid intertwining.
• Inspect cables to ensure adequate routing and bend radius.
• Install cable ties that comply with your site requirements.
Basic Network Connections
6-2
This section describes basic router installation steps. These are the minimum installation steps required
for the router to begin operating within the field area network.
The steps in this section require that an Ethernet network connection is available at the installation
location.
There are two options for connecting to the Ethernet network:
1. Connecting the Ethernet Ports, page 6-3
2. Connecting the SFP Ports, page 6-4
Connecting the Ethernet Ports
The router features four Fast Ethernet (FE) ports and two Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports for connecting the
router to an Ethernet network through a hub or switch.
• See Figure 6-1 for the Ethernet port locations.
• One or two Ethernet cables are typically provided with the router. Additional cables and transceivers
can be ordered from Cisco. For ordering information, contact your reseller or Cisco customer
service.
• The GE ports (ETH 2/1 and ETH 2/2) have identical labels to the SFP ports because the SFP ports
share physical ports with the GE ports. For detailed information about how to use these ports (called
combo ports), see Combo Ports, page 3-15, in the chapter Router Hardware Description.
Basic Network Connections
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules are devices that plug into the router SFP connectors shown
in Figure 6-2. The transceiver connects the electrical circuitry of the module with the optical or copper
network.
The SFP module used on each port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the
cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
Chapter 6 Making Network Connections

the router exterior (Figure 6-3) and is labeled CON.
Use this port to connect a PC terminal, enabling you to log directly into the router system software to
perform configuration or other commands.
Figure 6-3Console Port (Item 1)
Chapter 6 Making Network Connections
Connecting
This section describes how to connect a PC terminal to the console port.
When a terminal is connected to the console port, you can connect directly to the router and configure
it. You can connect a PC terminal to this port while the router is operating normally.
To connect a PC terminal to the router, you must provide:
• RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable
• One of the following adapters, depending on the port type of the terminal device: RJ-45-to-DB-25
female DTE adapter or RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL).
Follow these steps to connect a PC or PC terminal to the console port:
Step 1Connect one end of the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable to the console port on the router.
Step 2Connect the adapter you provide to the other end of the RJ-45 cable.
Step 3Connect the adapter end of the cable to the router.
You can connect an optional USB device to the router USB port (Figure 6-5), which will provide power
to the USB device. You can also connect USB devices that are powered by an external source, such as
an AC adapter or batteries.
Connecting
• You can connect devices to the USB port while the router is operating normally.
• The USB port is labeled with universal USB icon.
• Depending on the USB devices you connect to these ports, you might require a USB extension cable
to connect devices to these ports.
• To prevent connected USB devices from being stolen or accidently removed, secure any connected
USB device with a locking mechanism designed for this purpose.
Related Information
For detailed information about these ports, including supported USB standards and power output, see
the chapter Router Hardware Description.
The alarm port provides data about fatal or severe errors that can cause the system software to crash.
The alarm port is connected to a normally closed solid state relay. Cisco CG-OS writes to a hardware
port and the relay contact opens. If the system enters into a ROM monitor (ROMmon) or watchdog reset
state, the relay contacts close. The closing contacts alert the alarm annunciator or monitor that a
Cisco CG-OS crash has occurred.
If interfaces fail or other non-fatal errors occur, the alarm port does not respond. Continue to use SNMP
to manage these types of errors.
Connecting
• You can connect this port while the router is operating normally.
• If you use an alarm system on your network, connect the alarm port to an alarm system with an alarm
cable that you provide.

OL-26438-01
• WiFi Antenna, page 8-4
Module Antennas
The router also supports Connected Grid Module Antennas, page 8-4.
The Connected Grid GPS Antenna kit (optional) includes the following items:
• GPS antenna with integrated 15-foot coaxial cable (see Figure 8-2)
• Male QMA connector adapter, to connect the cable to the router GPS antenna port
• Hardware required to mount the antenna, for example on the substation or utility cabinet exterior
This antenna provides connectivity to the GPS system, from which the router derives precise time and
location information while operating on the network.
GPS Antenna Information
CautionIf the antenna is mounted outside, the antenna assembly must be grounded either at the bracket or at the
external building point where the cabling enters the building. This is critical because if it’s not grounded,
the CGR 1120 chassis would be isolated on the antenna card very close to AC isolation requirements.
Also see Statement 1052 below.
Do not locate the outdoor antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care
not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper
installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example,
U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada:Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Statement 1052
• The GPS antenna is a field-replaceable component.
• For detailed technical information about the GPS antenna, see GPS Antenna Specifications,
page 8-6.
• For information about the GPS status LED, see the chapter Router LED Locations and States.
• For more information about the Internal GPS Module, see the chapter Router Hardware Description.
Figure 8-2GPS Antenna with Mounting Hardware and Male QMA Adapter
The Connected Grid 4GE LTE WiFi antenna kit (optional) includes the following items:
• 4G LTE indoor swivel-mount antenna (see Figure 8-3)
• Male QMA connector adapter, to connect the antenna to the router WiFi antenna port
The WiFi antenna provides connectivity to the router internal short-range access point.
The short-range access point enables a WiFi link so users can connect to the router from anywhere within
WiFi range. For example, a technician can check the status of the router from outside the substation or
utility cabinet by connecting to the router over the WiFi link.
WiFi Antenna Information
• The Cisco order number of the WiFi antenna kit is: ANT-4G-DP-IN-TNC.
• The WiFi antenna is a field-replaceable component.
• For detailed technical information about the WiFi antenna, seeWiFi Antenna Specifications,
page 8-7.
• For information about the WiFi status LED, see the chapter Router LED Locations and States.
• For more information about the Short-Range Access Point, which provides the WiFi connection to

Connected Grid Module Antennas
In addition to the two fixed antennas (GPS and WiFi), the router supports additional antennas that
provide connectivity to the Connected Grid modules installed in the router.
The router supports up to two Cisco Connected Grid modules. Each module requires one antenna or two
antennas (one main antenna and one diversity antenna). The total number of antennas installed with the
router depends on:
• Number of modules installed in the router.
8-4
• Module types that are installed in the router
For detailed information about the Connected Grid module antennas, see the Connected Grid antennas
documentation, at: www.cisco.com/go/cg-modules
Depending on the configuration you specified, the router could arrive in the shipping container with all
required antennas already installed and connected to the corresponding Cisco Connected Grid modules,
also installed in the router.
However, you might need to install an antenna when:
• You purchase a module separately from the router. The antenna is included with the module, and
must be installed on the router to complete the module installation.
• You purchase an antenna separately to replace a faulty or damaged antenna.
• The antenna form factor prevents requires that it be installed after the router has shipped.

The router features an SD card connector, which supports a single Cisco SD card. The SD card stores
router data and software, including:
• Router operating software
• Running configurations
• Network management software configuration
• Network registration data
• Router firmware
• Billing data
• Outage data
• Event data
SD Card File System
The SD card uses a Linux-based EXT2/3 file system. The router configuration is stored in a binary file
in an invisible partition on the card.
Sharing SD Cards Across Systems
The card cannot be used to configure or operate any system other than the system with which is it
shipped.
• The router requires an SD card with greater memory capacity.
• You must replace a faulty or damaged SD card.
Online Insertion and Removal (OIR)
The SD card can be installed and removed while the router is operating normally.
CautionDo not replace the SD card if the LED is blinking green. A blinking green state indicates that a data
transfer between the router and the SD card is in progress. Removing the card during a data transfer will
interrupt this process and could damage system data.
Safety Warnings
Before performing any of the tasks in this chapter, read the safety warnings in the Installation Safety and
Site Preparation chapter.
Inserting the SD Card
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
SD flash memory modules are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when
electronic cards or components are handled improperly, results in complete or intermittent failures.
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
• Place a removed the memory card on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If the card will
be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
• Avoid contact between the card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD voltages
on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete.
Tools You Supply
You must provide a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the cover over the SD card slot.
Removing and Inserting the SD Card
