Connected Grid Module (CGM) WPAN-OFDM-FCC Module - Cisco IOS
Hardware Overview
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, page 7
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.
