Release Notes for Cisco Connected Grid Device Manager (Cisco IOS) , Release 4.0

Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers (CGR 1000) are multi-service communications platforms designed for use in field area networks.

The portfolio consists of two models–Cisco CGR 1240 and Cisco CGR 1120–both ruggedized to varying degrees for outdoor and indoor deployments. Both models are modular and support a wide-range of communications interfaces such as 2G/3G, Ethernet, and WiFi.

The Cisco Connected Grid Device Manager (Device Manager) is a Windows-based application that field technicians can use to manage the CGR 1000 remotely. For some activities, the Device Manager retrieves information from the Cisco Connected Grid Network Management System (Cisco CG-NMS). The Device Manager connects to the CGR 1000 by using a secure Ethernet or WiFi link.

This version of Device Manager supports Connected Grid devices that run Cisco IOS. All the features supported in the previous version of Device Manager are also supported in this version. The previous version of Device Manager that runs on CG-OS based CGR 1000 routers continues to support those routers. Both versions of Device Manager can co-exist on the same laptop.
