Cisco Connected Grid WPAN Module for CGR 1000 Series
Installation and Cisco Resilient Mesh Configuration Guide
(Cisco IOS)
This guide explains how to install the IEEE 802.15.4e/g Cisco Connected Grid Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) module
and how to configure the Cisco Resilient Mesh (formerly known as CG-Mesh). This guide addresses configuration for a Cisco 1000
Series Connected Grid Router (CGR 1000) installed with Cisco IOS software.
For detailed information of the WPAN-OFDM module, see Connected Grid Module (CGM) WPAN-OFDM Module - Cisco
IOS.
Note
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030
Danger
The Cisco Connected Grid WPAN Module is installed in either of the CGR 1000 series models: Cisco 1120 Connected Grid
Router (CGR 1120) or Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router (CGR 1240). The WPAN module is installed at the factory. Only
technicians of Cisco or Cisco partners may install, uninstall, or configure Connected Grid modules.
Note

Hardware Overview
The CGM-WPAN-FSK-NA WPAN module provides IPv6-based, IEEE 802.15.4e/g-compliant, and highly secure wireless connectivity
for the CGR to enable Field Area Network (FAN) applications.
The module is ideal for standards-based IPv6 multihop mesh networks and long-reach solutions. It helps enable a high ratio of
endpoints to the CGR. The module provides the following functionality:
The CGM-WPAN-OFDM module is designed to operate within an 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 module provide a low cost, low power,
small scale DA solution. Ruggedized IP41 enclosures are available for the CGR1000 to support installation within an outdoor cabinet.
902-to-928 MHz ISM band frequency hopping technology (configurable frequency range to match your country’s regulations).
