Battery Backup Operations
The battery backup unit (BBU) provides the WPAN range extender with an emergency power source if
the AC power source is unavailable. The unit is mounted in the range extender housing.
Table 3-2describes the BBU model.
Table 3-2 BBU Models
BBU Model Description
CGR-BATT-4AH Battery backup unit, capacity = 48 Watt-hours
BBU Status
The BBU is automatically enabled and begins supplying power when the range extender detects that
power is not being received from the AC power supply. The BBU continues to supply power to the range
extender until at least one of the following conditions is met:
• BBU is completely discharged
• AC power to the range extender is enabled
• BBU is disabled via the Connected Grid Network Management System (CG-NMS) software
application.
Battery Backup Mode
This section describes impact on the range extender configuration and operating capabilities when the
range extender switches from AC power to BBU power.

Chapter 3 Battery Backup Unit Battery Backup Units
Range Extender Configuration
The range extender software configuration is not impacted when the range extender switches from AC
power to BBU power.
Range Extender Interface Operation
When the BBU is operating and powering the range extender, the range extender operates and performs
normally. The range extender does not power off any interfaces to conserve power when AC power is not
available, and the range extender is being powered by the BBU.
BBU Firmware Upgrade
It is only possible to use the CG-NMS to upgrade the BBU firmware and to show information about the
BBU firmware upgrade.
To upgrade the BBU firmware and to show information about the BBU firmware upgrade, use the
CG-NMS firmware upgrade option.
The firmware upgrade is executed in background and an output message is generated in the CG-NMS
when the BBU firmware upgrade is complete. During the firmware upgrade, you can use the CG-NMS
to view the state of the BBU firmware upgrade.

BBU Configuration during Transportation
BBU Configuration during Transportation
The BBU configuration during transportation is controlled by a dedicated bit in the BBU NVRAM
register called the Transportation bit or (T-bit).
The T-Bit is set at the factory and is used to place the BBU in a disabled (low power) state. This is
necessary in order to preserve the battery charge while the WPAN range extender device (with BBU
installed) is in storage, or being transported between the factory and the final installation site.
This sections contains:
• Setting the BBU NVRAM Register T-bit, page 3-4
• BBU NVRAM Register T-bit Settings and BBU Status, page 3-4
Setting the BBU NVRAM Register T-bit
The T-bit in the BBU NVRAM register is set to 1 using the CG-NMS.
Note The T-bit is set to 1 by Cisco manufacturing at the factory. The T-bit is reset to 0 or cleared only by the
CG-NMS during ZTD deployment.
BBU NVRAM Register T-bit Settings and BBU Status
Table 3-3 BBU NVRAM T-bit Settings and BBU Status
T-bit Setting BBU Status
T-bit = 1 • AC ON: BBU enabled automatically (to allow battery to charge)
• AC OFF: BBU disabled automatically (to prevent battery from
discharging)
T-bit = 0 The BBU can be set to a disabled or enabled status for AC ON or OFF
conditions.
Note If the BBU is disabled due to being < 5% capacity, it will be
enabled automatically when AC power resumes. If the customer
disables the BBU, the customer must enable the BBU manually.
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, shipping or transportation in order to preserve battery
life.
• To replace the battery in an installed and operating range extender.

Chapter 4 Antenna Additional Information for WPAN Gateway Antenna Installations
Additional Information for WPAN Gateway Antenna
Installations
For all outdoor antenna/WPAN gateway installations, the coax shield should be grounded (earthed) in
accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93,
Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable.
In addition, please refer to Section 820.93 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70: 2005; and
EN60728-11: 2005, which provide guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specify that the
coaxial cable shield shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
For indoor antenna/WPAN gateway installations, no additional considerations are required.
Installing or Replacing Antennas
Depending on the configuration you specified, the WPAN gateway and WPAN range extender could be
shipped with all required antennas already installed and connected. You may need to install an antenna
when you purchase an antenna separately to replace a faulty or damaged antenna.
For procedures and safety information required to install or replace antennas, see the Connected Grid
Antenna Installation Guide, at: www.cisco.com/go/cg-modules.

WPAN Gateway and WPAN Range Extender and the Cisco Field Area Network
The WPAN gateway and WPAN range extender operate in the Cisco Connected Grid (CG) Field Area
Network (FAN).
The FAN solution provides an urban-scale IPv6-based networking solution for connecting and managing
a multitude of devices in a smartgrid architecture. The Cisco CG FAN consists of three components:
• Connected Grid Endpoint (CGE) devices
• Connected Grid Router (CGR) devices
• Connected Grid Network Management System (CG-NMS)
CGEs are the CG FAN end points. The CGEs may be electric meters, or Distribution Automation (DA)
devices. The CG FAN utilizes low-cost mesh networking technology to connect CGEs. The link
technologies may utilize Radio Frequency (e.g. IEEE 802.15.4g) and, or Power Line Communication
(e.g. IEEE P1901.2) media.

Information about WPAN Gateway and WPAN Range Extender Operation
CGRs provide wide-area connectivity for CGEs. In addition to providing wide-area connectivity,
because CGRs typically have more resources than CGEs, CGRs support critical functions for secure
network access control, routing, and management of CGEs. In a typical deployment, a single CGR may
provide wide-area connectivity for hundreds or thousands of CGEs.
CG-NMS provides the necessary back-end infrastructure for supporting the CGEs and CGRs in the
Cisco CG FAN. CG-NMS is responsible for managing secure network access, configurations, and
firmware updates for all CGR and CGEs in a CG FAN deployment. Each device registers with the
CG-NMS and periodically reports information that assists a network operator in assessing the health of
the network and diagnosing any issues that may occur.
The Cisco Industrial Routers (IR) 500 Series WPAN Gateway and WPAN Range Extender provide
unlicensed 902-to-928 MHz ISM-band wireless personal area network (WPAN) communications to
diverse Internet of things (IoT) applications. Among the IoT applications supported are smart grid,
distribution automation (DA), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA).
The devices supply radio frequency (RF) mesh connectivity to one IPv4/Ethernet and serial IoT device,
including recloser control, cap bank control, voltage regulator controls, and other remote terminal units
(RTUs).
The devices provide an open standards RF mesh solution based on the following standards:
• IEEE 802.15.4 g/e
• IETF 6LoWPAN
• IETF Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL)
• IETF Mapping of Address and Port—Translation (MAP-T)

Role of the WPAN Gateway
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
WPAN Gateway and Serial-based DA Devices
The CGR800-WPAN connects serial-based DA devices and exports them over the IPv6-based Field Area
Network by the following means:
• RS232/RS485 Port—the gateway RS232/RS485 serial port is used to connect RS232/RS485-based
DA devices and transport serial data traffic over TCP. The gateway configuration and management
of the serial port is done via CSMP and the CG-NMS.

• RS232 Port—the gateway RS232 serial port is used to connect RS232-based DA devices and
transport serial data traffic over TCP. The gateway configuration and management of the serial port
is done via CSMP and the CG-NMS.
• Raw TCP Serial Transport—the CGR800-WPAN makes the bi-directional serial data stream for the
serial ports available over IPv6 via the IEEE 802.15.4g interface.
WPAN Range Extender and Ethernet-based DA Devices
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 connectivity to and across an IPv6 domain 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.
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 anywhere AC power is available. The range extenders 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 gateway and WPAN range extender devices:
• 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 traffic between a WPAN gateway
Ethernet port connected IPv4 DA device and an application server
Both traffic flows involves MAP-T enabling non-IPv6 traffic to be transparently forwarded over
6LoWPAN, or the mesh network that is IPv6 only.

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 Data 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.
• Interface configuration as either a server or a client. The WPAN gateway can only be set up as a
server or as a client but not both simultaneously.
• One server per interface, but multiple clients.
Note For the one server per interface with multiple clients arrangement, the number of clients may be limited
to one or two. Contact Cisco for more information.
For more information about the Raw Socket deployment read the following sections:
• TCP Transport, page 5-5
• Raw Socket Configurations, page 5-6
• Raw Socket and Serial Protocol Operation, page 5-7
TCP Transport
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 socket server, and it listens for TCP connection
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 accumulates this data in its buffer,
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
network to the Raw Socket server, which retrieves the serial data from the packets and sends it to the
serial interface, and on to the utility management system.

Raw Socket transport uses a client-server model on the WPAN gateway. The WPAN gateway can be
either a server or a client but not both. At most one server and multiple clients can be configured on a
single asynchronous serial line.
Figure 5-2, Figure 5-3, and Figure 5-4 show three different Raw Socket configurations and scenarios

When running a serial protocol over a Raw Socket, there are two different layers that establish their own
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 60870-5-101, Modbus, 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).

Information about Raw Socket Transport and MAP-T
MAP-T
6LoWPAN is an IPv6-only adaptation layer for the physical (PHY) and media access control (MAC)
layer technologies implementing it. No IPv4 adaptation layer is defined 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.
MAP-T was developed as a transition mechanism due to IPv4 address exhaustion, MAP-T is based on a
double stateless NAT64 translation. It specifies a stateless algorithmic address and transport layer port
mapping scheme, and allows embedding of IPv4 address and port 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,
on the attached field devices since IPv4 traffic coming through the Ethernet port will go through NAT44.
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 hundreds of WPAN gateways are deployed across
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
deployments in that instead of assigning a public IPv4 address range to each field device for translation
(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 field device, but the WPAN gateway
only leverages the full IPv4 address to be allocated on 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 prefix length embeds any IPv4 addresses outside the MAP-T domain. 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 MAP-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 153.10.10.0/24 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

Cisco IR500 Series WPAN Gateway and Range Extender Installation and Configuration Guide
Chapter 5 Operation and Configuration
Information about Raw Socket Transport and MAP-T
–
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 this prefix, i.e. 2031:6f8:147e:10fe:99:a0a:fe00:0 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 than the MAP-T BMR IPv4 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, which 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 embedded in the MAP-T IPv6 End-user IPv6 prefix. For example, in case of 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

and firmware groups if a group name is not specified in the csv.
Registering with CG-NMS
WPAN gateway and WPAN range extender devices use CSMP for communicating with CG-NMS. The
registration process involves handshaking between the devices and the CG-NMS.
During registration, CG-NMS pushes a configuration file from a user defined CG-NMS configuration
file to each device.
You use a configuration template to define the configuration file for each group dedicated to the WPAN
gateway and WPAN range extender devices. The configuration file and its contents are pushed to the
devices when they register with CG-NMS.
Configuring an IR 500 Series Device with CG-NMS
During registration, CG-NMS pushes the user defined configuration from the "template" to each device.
You can also initiate an on demand configuration push to all devices in the group using a "Push
Configuration” option in CG-NMS.
For more information see the “Editing the ENDPOINT Configuration Template” and the “Pushing
Configurations to Endpoints” sections of the Cisco Connected Grid Network Management System User
Guide.

• Configuring Serial Interface Settings, page 5-17
• Configuring MAP-T Settings, page 5-18
• Configuring Raw Socket Settings, page 5-18
• Configuring Mesh Link Settings, page 5-19

Configuring MAP-T Settings
The MAP-T settings for the WPAN gateway are:
–
DefaultMapping IPv6 Prefix
–
IPv4 Prefix
–
IPv6 Prefix Length
–
IPv4 Prefix Length
–
EA Bits Length
For more information see the “Editing the ENDPOINT Configuration Template” section of the Cisco
Connected Grid Network Management System User Guide.
MAP-T Settings for a WPAN Gateway in FAN
Note On the Cisco IOS ASR1000 and CGR1000, MAP-T rules are set-up by indicating the following MAP-T
domain rules:
- IPv6 BMR
- IPv4 BMR
- IPv6 DMR
On the WPAN gateway, the MAP-T IPv6 is an End-user IPv6 prefix that integrates the MAP-T BMR
IPv6 rules + IPv4 suffix value, the length being based on the BMR EA length value.
For example, a CG-NMS CSV file for a WPAN gateway contains:
eid,devicetype,lat,lng,meshPanid,status,endUserIPv6Prefix,endUserIPv6PrefixLen
00173B1500340036,ir500,37.4187911,-121.9196689,10,unheard,2019:1111:2222:1000::,48
The file content can be read as:
• IPv6 BMR = 2019:1111:2222::
• IPv6 BMR prefix length = 48
• IPv6 End-User prefix = IPv6 BMR = 2019:1111:2222:1000:: giving the WPAN gateway an IPv4
address = MAP-T IPv4 prefix = CG-NMS set-up + IPv4 suffix = 10 (or .16 decimal)
Configuring Raw Socket Settings
The Raw Socket settings for the WPAN gateway are:
• Initiator—Designates the device as the client or server (initiator = 0—denotes server; initiator = 1,
2, 3 etc—denotes client)
• TCP idle timeout (min)—Sets the time to maintain an idle connection
• Local port—Sets the port number of the device
• Peer port—Sets the port number of the client/server connected to the device
• Peer IP address—Sets the IP address to the host connected to the device
• Connect timeout—Sets the TCP client connect timeout for Initiator DA Gateway devices
For more information, see the “Editing the ENDPOINT Configuration Template” and the “Raw Sockets
Metrics and Sessions” sections of the Cisco Connected Grid Network Management System User Guide.

For configuring mesh link settings such as ‘Mesh SSID’ and ‘Transmit Power’ see the “Managing
Devices” chapter of the Cisco Connected Grid Network Management System User Guide.
Configuring NAT44
Note This section only applies to the WPAN gateway.
NAT44 settings for the WPAN gateway can be configured. In order to configure NAT44 properties you
can edit the device template or use the import a CSV file method.
For more information see the “Editing the ENDPOINT Configuration Template” or “Adding a File to
CG-NMS” sections of the Cisco Connected Grid Network Management System User Guide
The following fields can be specified:
• nat44InternalAddress0
• nat44InternalPort0
• nat44ExternalPort0
where 0-3 are four valid map index.
You must make sure that the config group that the device belongs to has Ethernet enabled. You can select
the Enable Ethernet checkbox and save the config template for the config group before the config push.
Because all three fields for a map index are required values, all three fields must be specified for the
Nat44 configuration to be applied.
Default values of 127.0.0.1, 0, 0 respectively have to be explicitly specified from CSV for a device in
case any of the other settings for a particular map index need not be configured.
If an invalid IPv4 address or other invalid values for a port is specified then NAT44 settings for that par-
ticular map index will be ignored during config push.
