C37.90 hardening on all I/O System Architecture RuggedCom’s CrossBow™ allows an IED maintenance application to remotely communicate with its associated IEDs, as if the user were directly connected to the IED with a serial cable or network connection. The Station Access Controller expands the solution by positioning a hardened controller directly in the substation for managing users who are physically present in the substation. Users can now log into the CrossBow™ central authority from within the substation, maintaining consistent security administration in adherence with NERC CIP. Alternately, the Station Access Controller provides for a secure, “Emergency Mode”, where the network connection to the enterprise has been lost. In this mode, security is still maintained in adherence with NERC CIP, while providing the local user full functionality, and complete logging of activity. IISSOO 99000011 REGISTERED RUGGEDCOM
