Release Notes for Cisco Connected Grid Device Manager, Version 2.0
Part Number: OL-28024-01Last Published: September 2012Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers (Cisco CG-OS routers or 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 Cisco CG-OS Router 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 Cisco CG-OS Router by using a secure Ethernet or WiFi link.

The Manage Modules page provides a wizard that guides you through the process of adding or removing 3G and WiMAX modules.
Manage Modules is a new option on the
At a Glance page.Certificate import enhancement
You can now import certificates through the Device Manager by employing the Setup wizard or by command line. The application launches the Setup wizard when either the user clicks the Setup icon or when the certificate is not detected.
Non-admin Privilege
You no longer need to have administrator privileges on your Microsoft Windows user account to perform tasks with the Device Manager.
Role-based Access Control (RBAC)
As a user, you can be assigned up to four different types of roles that manage your access to operational and management functions on the Device Manager.

The Device Manager displays or restricts features based on your assigned role.
Work Authorization
You can view Work Authorization requests and their status on the Device Manager when you are connected to a Cisco CG-NMS.
The Work Authorization screen is the opening page of the Device Manager. On this page, you can synchronize with the Cisco CG-NMS to download work authorizations.
At the Cisco CG-NMS, an admin assigns a user role for each of these work authorizations.
You must enable Work Authorization on the Cisco CG-OS router to support this functionality on the Device Manager.
System Requirements
Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise
2 GHz or faster processor recommended
1 GB RAM minimum (for potential large log file processing)
WiFi or Ethernet interface
4 GB disk storage space
Windows login enabled
PFX file containing Utility-signed Certificate Authority (CA) and Client Certificate for router authentication (obtained from your IT department)
Important Notes
Data Reentry Required After Upgrade From Version 1.1 and 2.0
You will need to reenter data after upgrading from Device Manager 1.1 to 2.0 due to changes made for new feature support and the structure of data for enhanced security.
Specifically, data related to Test Connectivity, Change Configuration, and Update Image requires reentry after you upgrade from version 1.1 to 2.0.
Caveats

•
Symptom: When an Update Image attempt on a CGR 1000 failed, the CGR 1000 returned an improper error message that was unknown to the Device Manager user.
Conditions: All conditions.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
Symptom: In rare circumstances, when a Device Manager cannot access a specified CGR 1000 over Ethernet due to repeated failures and retry attempts by the user, the Device Manager might attempt to connect to a different, known CGR 1000 with cached WiFi credentials.
Conditions: The following conditions exist:

Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
Symptom: After a successful connection to the CGR 1000 router, the status bar might incorrectly indicate a certificate error.
Conditions: Issue occurs when the Device Manager starts up with an invalid certificate although the user has imported the correct certificate. The Device Manager connects successfully; however, a stale certificate error message persists.
Workaround: Close and relaunch the Device Manager.
•
Symptom: The Device Manager might indicate a connection error when switching from a WiFi to Ethernet connection right after the Ethernet interface is brought up.
Conditions: The connection error might occur during an application-intensive operation such as performing an interface refresh.
Workaround: If the connection error persists, then close and relaunch the Device Manager.
