Introduction

This document provides an overview of the hardware and software configuration information for the Cisco Connected Grid Module Wireless Personal Area Network Orthogonal Frequency-division Multiplexing (CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC) plug-in module for CGR 1000 Series routers (CGR 1000) operating with Cisco IOS software within a Resilient Mesh (formerly known as CG-Mesh) network.

Note: Before you install the module, please review the following document on how to configure a Cisco Resilient Mesh Network that supports a Cisco 1000 running Cisco IOS software and installed with a CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC module:

Cisco Connected Grid WPAN Module for CGR 1000 Series Installation and Cisco Resilient Mesh Configuration Guide (Cisco IOS)

The CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC module is designed to operate within a RF900 wireless network to provide digital automation (DA) control over Resilient Mesh Endpoints (RMEs) with serial (RS232/RS485), USB (LS/FS), or Fast Ethernet (10/100) ports for intelligent control primarily in the electrical grid.

CGR 1000s installed with a CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC module provide a low cost, low power, small scale DA solution. Ruggedized IP41 enclosures are available for the CGR 1000 to support installation within an outdoor cabinet.

Note: Refer to Software Configuration for the minimum Cisco IOS version required to support the module.

Note: See Checking and Upgrading the WPAN Firmware Version in Cisco Connected Grid WPAN Module for CGR 1000 Series Installation and Cisco Resilient Mesh Configuration Guide (Cisco IOS) for information about how to check the WPAN hardware and firmware versions and perform firmware upgrades.

Hardware Overview

The CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC module occupies a single slot within a CGR 1000 Series router. The module allows the CGR 1000 to connect to RMEs (such as Digital Automation (DA) Gateways and Smart Meters) using a RF900 WPAN wireless interface.

Connected Grid Antennas Installation Guide

Installation Guidelines

Before you install the CGM-WPAN OFDM-FCC module in the CGR 1000 be sure to review the following guidelines:

CAUTION : Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms), and do not stack routers on a desktop. Excessive weight on top of the router could damage the chassis.

CAUTION : Do not install the router or power supplies next to a heat source of any kind, including heating vents.

WARNING : Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004

WARNING : Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

WARNING : No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not open. Statement 1073

WARNING : Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040

WARNING : Do not locate the 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, because 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

WARNING : This product is not intended to be directly connected to the Cable Distribution System. Additional regulatory compliance and legal requirements may apply for direct connection to the Cable Distribution System. This product may connect to the Cable Distribution System ONLY through a device that is approved for direct connection. Statement 1078

Note: The WPAN module can be installed in any slot of the CGR 1120. You should only install the WPAN module in slot 4 of the CGR1240 due to the physical constraints of the short antenna cable for the integrated WPAN antenna and for adequate antenna isolation between WPAN and 3G cellular radios.

Before installing the CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC module, verify that the following guidelines have been met:

■For a CGR 1240: Install the WPAN module only in slot 4. (This is due to the physical constraints of the short antenna cable for the integrated WPAN antenna and to provide adequate antenna isolation between WPAN and 3G cellular radios.)

■For CGR 1120, you can install the CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC module in any slot.

■Clearance on the I/O side allows a clear view of the LED.

■Airflow around the module and through the vents is unrestricted.

■Temperature around the unit does not exceed 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Note: If you install the WPAN module in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the temperature around it might be higher than normal room temperature.

■Relative humidity around the WPAN module does not exceed 95% (non-condensing).

■Altitude at the installation site is not higher than 10,000 feet.

■After replacing or installing a module in the router, you must update the label (on the router exterior) that lists the module types contained in the router. The label must list the FCC ID number and the IC Certification number for each module installed in the router. See Front Panel of the CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC Module

Installing the Module

Note: Before you install or remove the CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC module within the host router, you must power down the router as described in either the Cisco 1120 Connected Grid Router Hardware Installation Guide or the Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router Hardware Installation Guide.

CAUTION: The module CANNOT be hot swapped. To install the module, you must first power down the module.

Follow these steps to install the module in a supported and available slot in the CGR 1120 or CGR 1240:

1. Insert the WPAN module into a supported and available slot.

2. Using a screwdriver, screw both captive screws into place.

Removing the Module

Note: Before you install the WPAN module (or remove the module) within the host router, you must power down the router as described in either the Cisco 1120 Connected Grid Router Hardware Installation Guide or the Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router Hardware Installation Guide.

Follow these steps to remove the WPAN module from a slot in the CGR 1120 or the CGR 1240:

1. Using a screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws on the WPAN module.

2. Gently pull the WPAN module out of the slot.

Software Configuration

Your CGR 1000 must be running Cisco IOS Release 15.7(3)M1 (cgr1000-universalk9-bundle.SPA.157-3.M1.bin) or greater to support the CGM WPAN-OFDM-FCC Module,

Note: Before you install the CGM-WPAN-OFDM-FCC module in your Resilient Mesh Network, please review the CGR 1000 and CGM-WPAN installation documents noted in the Introduction.
