Installing External Non-Cisco Modules
The Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router (CGR 1240 or router) provides support for a compatible,
external non-Cisco wireless module, installed on the router exterior and connected to the router
integrated switch module. Wireless connections send data from the router to field devices, such as
meters, sensors, and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), and from the router to the utility or data
management center.

External Non-Cisco Module Support
This section describes the support for, and requirements for, installing a non-Cisco module on the router.
Caveats
•
Cisco does not provide technical support for issues related to non-Cisco products. You must contact
the module supplier or your reseller to obtain technical support for the non-Cisco module.
•
Installing a module that does not meet the requirements described in this chapter can negatively
affect router performance.
•
The router system software does not communicate with or interact with non-Cisco modules.
•
A non-Cisco module that is installed on the router does not interact with the router chassis.
Connecting a non-Cisco module to the router does not certify the module. Before installing the
module, verify that it is certified for use in your environment.
