Disabling and Enabling the BBU in the Range Extender
In normal operating mode (T-bit is off), the BBU automatically begins to supply power to the range
extender when it detects that power is not being received from the AC power supply. You may wish to
disable and enable the BBU for the following reasons:
• To inhibit the BBU discharge during storage, shippi ng or t ranspo rtation in order to preserve battery
life.
• To replace the battery in an installed and operating range extender.

The WPAN Gateway provides IPv4/IPv6 connectivity to DA Devices. The gateway connects to DA
Devices using serial ports (RS232/RS485) and, or an Ethernet port using IPv4. The gateway provides
remote connectivity to:
• serial DA devices over CG-Mesh by transporting serial data in TCP/IP
• IPv4 DA devices over the IPv6-based CG-Mesh by using Mapping of Address and Port using
Translation (MAP-T), as specified in draft-ietf-software-map-t

The WPAN gateway connects IPv4-based DA devices to the IPv6-based FAN by the following means:
• Ethernet Port—the gateway Ethernet port is used to provide IPv4 connectivity to DA devices. The
gateway exports configuration and management of the Ethernet port via CSMP and the CG-NMS.
• DHCP—the CGR800-WPAN implements a DHCP Server to support dynamic configuration of
IPv4-based DA devices. The CGR800-WPAN exports DHCP configuration and management via
CSMP.
• Mapping of Address and Port using Translation (MAP-T)—The gateway provides shared or
uniquely addressed IPv4 host connecti vity to and across an IPv6 domai n using MAP-T. The gateway
implements the MAP Customer Edge (CE) functionality, as described in draft-ietf-software-map-t.
Each MAP domain must also include a device that implements the MAP Border Router (BR)
functionality (e.g. ASR-1000). The gateway configuration and management of MAP-T is done via
CSMP and the CG-NMS.
• NAT44—The gateway uses NAT44 to translate private IPv4 addresses used by DA devices
connected to the Ethernet port to public IPv4 addresses used with MAP-T.
WPAN Gateway and WPAN Range Extender Data Flow
Role of the WPAN Range Extender
The WPAN range extender is an IEEE 802.15.4g-2012 IPv6 router device that allows additional
flexibility in locating IEEE 802 .15.4g devices, resulting in extra connectivity among CG -Mesh devices.
For example, while CG-Mesh electric meters must be placed where electric metering occurs, the range
extender may be placed an ywhere A C po wer is a vailable. The range e xtenders support the full CG-Mesh
network platform, including IEEE 802.15.4g, IEEE 802.1X, IPv6, and RPL.

Data Flow Paradigms
There are two potential data flow paradigms with the WPAN gate way and WPAN range extender de vices:
• Serial DA device remote connectivity over CG-Mesh by transporting serial data in TCP/IP—this is
achieved by routing traffic between a WPAN gateway serial port attached DA device and an
application server through a Raw Socket connection
• IPv4 DA device remote connectivity over the IPv6-based CG-Mesh by using Mapping of Address
and Port using Translation (MAP-T)—this is achieved by routing traf fic between a WPAN gateway
Ethernet port connected IPv4 DA device and an application server
Both traffic flows involves MAP-T enabling non-IPv6 traf

Raw Socket
Raw Socket is a method for transporting serial data through an IP network. It transports streams of
characters from one serial interface to another over an IP network for utility applications.The feature can
be used to transport Supervisory Control and Dat a Acquisition (SCADA) data from Remote Terminal
Units (RTUs). For the WPAN gateway and WPAN range extender deployment, Raw Socket Transport
uses TCP as the transport protocol.
Raw Socket Transport supports the following for each asynchronous serial interface:
• TCP as the transport protocol, with built-in auto TCP connection retry mechanism.
NoteFor the one serv er p er interface with multiple clients arrangement, the number of clients may be limited

The TCP transport CG FAN scenario is that one router acts as a Raw Socket server, listening for TCP
connection requests from the other CG FAN routers, which are configured as Raw Socket clients. in
Figure 5-1, for example, the CGR 2010 acts as the Raw sock
requests from the WPAN gateways, which are configured as Raw Socket clients.
A Raw Socket client receives streams of serial data from the RTUs and accumula
then places the data into packets, based on user-specified packetization criteria. The Raw Socket client
initiates a TCP connection with the Raw Socket server and sends the packetized data across the IP

Information about Raw Socket Transport and MAP-T
Figure 5-5 shows a Raw Socket DA deployment scenario involving a SCADA server, WPAN range
extenders, and WPAN gateways with RTUs attached to the serial ports.
Figure 5-5Raw Socket and Serial Protocol
When running a serial protocol over a Ra w Socket , there are two dif ferent layers that establish their o wn
connectivity:
• Raw Socket layer—Assuming the SCADA server handles the Raw Socket session (the other
alternative is the Raw Socket is handled by a router), the Raw Socket session is established between
the SCADA server and the WPAN gateway. One side is the listener (Raw Socket TCP server), the
other is the client (Raw Socket TCP client).
• Serial protocol layer—The serial protocol session, i.e. DNP3, IEC 60870-5-10 1, Modb us, etc., runs
on the serial protocol layer, and this also has server/master and client sides. This serial protocol
session runs from the SCADA server to the attached device (RTU).

MAP-T
6LoWPAN is an IPv6-only adaptation layer for the physical (PHY) and me dia access control (MAC)
layer technologies implementing it. No IPv4 adaptati on layer is def ined for these PHY and MAC layers,
so the Mapping of Address and Port using Translation (MAP-T) architecture is used as an IPv4-IPv6
translation mechanism. The “mapping of address and port” mechanism defines how IPv4 nodes can
communicate over an IPv6-only infrastructure.
Chapter 5 Operation and Configuration
MAP-T was developed as a transitio n mechanism due to IPv
double stateless NAT64 translation. It specifies a stateless algorithmic address and transport layer port
mapping scheme, and allows embedding of IPv4 address and p ort numbers in an IPv6 address when
forwarding the IPv4 traffic across an IPv6-only network.
The use of MAP-T in the WPAN gateway enables the use of a same address, if required by a customer,
ched f
on the atta
By using MAP-T, the WPAN gateway is using an open standard to integrate non-IP and IPv4
communications over 6LOWPAN/RPL networks.
In a Field Area Network (FAN) scenario, where hund
multiple Field Area Routers (FARs), such as CGR 1000, a MAP-T domain begins at the WPAN gateway
level and ends with the head-end aggregation routers, such as ASR1000 as shown in Figure 5-6.

There are defined IPv6 and IPv4 MAP-T prefixes inside the MAP-T domain enabling the NAT64
translation process to identify addresses to be translated, as well as get proper reachability and routing
through the MAP-T domain.
NAT44 is a component of the MAP solution, but the NAT44 in MAP differs from traditional NAT44
eploy
ments in that instead of assigning a public IPv4 address rang e to each field device for translation
d
(in the case of NAT), or a single public IPv4 address for translation (in the case of Port Address
Translation (PAT)) to each field device, it extends the granularity beyond a single public IPv4 address,
by being able to assign a port range to each of the field devices sharing the same IPv4 public address.
This unique address and port range combination is then translated into the IPv6 address space when
transitioning into the IPv6 domain using the MAP field device. The MAP algorithm still retains the
ability to assign the full IPv4 address or an IPv4 prefix to the MAP f ield device, but the WPAN gateway
only leverages the full IPv4 address to be allocated o n a per WPAN gateway basis.
MAP-T Mapping Rules and Map Domain Parameters
Inside the MAP-T domain are defined IPv6 and IPv4 MAP-T prefixes enabling the NAT64 translation
process to identify addresses to be translated as well as get proper reachability and routing through the
MAP-T domain. Those are known as:
• MAP-T Default Mapping Rule (DMR): an IPv6 prefix used to address all destinations outside the
MAP-T domain.
–
DMR IPv6 prefix and prefi x length embeds any I Pv4 addresses outside the MAP-T do main. For
example, within a MAP-T domain using a DMR IPv6 prefix = 2610:D0:1200:CAFE::/64, all
IPv4 translated packet sources and destinations outside the MAP-T domain have an IPv6
address based on this prefix, i.e. sending packets to IPv4 100.1.1.2 translated to IPv6
2610:d0:1200:cafe:64:101:200:0. The SCADA server IPv4 address is an example of a
destination outside of the M AP-T domain .
• MAP-T Basic Mapping Rule (BMR): the IPv6 and IPv4 prefixes used to address MAP-T nodes
inside the MAP-T domain
–
BMR IPv4 prefix and prefix length are the IPv4 subnet selected to address all IPv4 nodes in a
MAP-T domain. For example, a MAP-T domain set-up with 153.1 0.10.0/24 as IPv4 subnet has
all IPv4 nodes configured with IPv4 address from this subnet, BMR IPv4 prefix = 153.10.10.0
and prefix length = 24

–
BMR IPv6 prefix and prefix length are used to embed the IPv4 address of nodes inside the
MAP-T domain. For example, a MAP-T domain is configured with a MAP-T IPv6 BMR =
2031:6f8:147e:10::/56. Packets sent or received from IPv4 nodes inside the MAP-T domain
have a translated IPv6 address based on th is pref ix, i.e. 2031:6f8 :147e:10fe:99:a0a:fe0 0:0 for a
MAP-T IPv4 node set-up with IPv4 153.10.10.254.
–
BMR Share ratio: MAP-T being designed for various deployment scenarios, it could be feasible
to allocate to a MAP-T node either an IPv4 prefix (smaller t han the MAP- T BMR IPv 4 prefix),
or a single IPv4 address (/32) or share a single IPv4 address (/32) between several nodes. In the
later case, it requires indicating how many bits for port numbers are assigned, whi ch is called
“BMR share ratio”. In case of IR 500 deployment, it is recommended to use a single IPv4
address (/32) per IR 500 with a share ratio = 1 to keep the addressing simple.
–
BMR Embedded Address (EA) bits indicate – in the case of share ration = 1 – the length of the
IPv4 suffix emb edded in the MAP-T IPv6 En d-user IPv6 pref ix. For example, in case o f an IPv4
/24 prefix allocated to a MAP-T domain, the BMR EA value derived from it is 8.
MAP-T Addressing Rules Example
Figure 5-7 is an example of a MAP-T domain, and the domain parameters are provided in Table 5-1. The
Table 5-2 details the translated addresses.
