Release Notes for Cisco Connected Grid Device Manager, Version 1.0.1

Part Number: OL-27033-02
Last Published: March 2012

Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers (Cisco CG-OS routers) are multi-service communications platforms designed for use in field area networks. The portfolio consists of two models - both ruggedized to varying degrees for outdoor and indoor deployments. Both models are modular and support a wide-range of communications interfaces such as WiMax, 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. The Device Manager connects to the Cisco CG-OS Router by using a secure Ethernet or WiFi link.

Installation Notes

Before you can install the Device Manager, you must install the client identity and CA certificates in the computer.

To install the certificate on the computer running the Device Manager:

Step 1 Contact your IT Department for the PKCS #12 formatted certificate, which should contain the client identity and CA certificates (along with the private key and its password to import the certificates onto the laptop).

Step 2 Copy the certificate (provided by your IT Department) to your computer, for example, on the Desktop.

Step 3 Double-click the certificate to open the Installation Wizard.

Step 4 Click Next to start the installation.

Step 5 Browse to the location of the certificate file, and then click Next.

Step 6 Enter the password, unmark the `Enable strong private key protection', mark `Include all extended properties', and then click Next.

Step 7 Keep the default setting `Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of certificate,' and then click Next.

Step 8 Click Finish.

Step 9 Click OK to complete installation of the certificate.

Step 10 Open the Windows Registry using regedit and search for the following registry entry: 

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco\CGDManager\Cgdm

Step 11 Edit the CERT_COMMON_NAME to match the common name of the certificate from step 1 (above).

Note Specify the CA_COMMON_NAME field or leave it as --AutoDetect--.

To verify the client certificate (optional):

Step 1 (Optional) Verify the client certificate in the Internet Explorer browser: 

IE browser\Tools\Internet Options\Content\Certificates\Personal

Step 2 (Optional) Verify the CA certificate in the Internet Explorer browser: 

IE browser\Tools\Internet Options\Content\Certificates\Trusted Root Certification 
Authorities

Step 3 (Optional) Delete the C:\ProgramData\Cisco\CGDManager folder. Run the Device Manager to automatically generate this folder, and then quit the Device Manager without any actions (to clean up any previous settings).

Note The program data directory for the Device Manager is hidden, by default. To view this directory, open an Explorer window, select Folder Options from the Tools menu, and then select the View tab. Select `Show hidden files and folders', and then click OK.
