New Features in Cisco CG-OS Release CG3
Table 1 lists the new features added in the Release CG3 software base.
Table 1 New Features in Cisco CG-OS Release CG3
IEEE 802.15.4g/e WPAN module, to support IETF 6LoWPAN and RPL protocols
6LoWPAN: RFC 6282
RPL: RFCs 6206, 6650, 6651, 6553, 6554, and 6719
The WPAN module provides the CGR 1000 Series routers an IEEE 802.15.4g/e wireless interface for communicating with IEEE 802.15.4g/e Connected Grid Endpoints (CGEs) such as smart meters for a given transmission range by using mesh networking technology.
CGEs with embedded firmware support open standards-based IPv6 communication using IETF 6LoWPAN and RPL protocols. Additional functionality includes a frequency-hopping radio link, network discovery, link-layer network access control, network-layer auto configuration, IPv6 routing and forwarding, firmware upgrade, and power outage notifications.

For feature overview and configuration details, see the Cisco Connected Grid WPAN Module for CGR1000 Series Installation and RFLAN Configuration Guide at www.cisco.com/go/cgr1000-docs.
Compromised Node Eviction (for Mesh Security)
Compromised node eviction occurs when the condition of a trusted node on the network changes such that it loses its group temporal key (GTK). The GTK is necessary to gain access to the network which is granted by the AAA server. When an AAA server recognizes that a node does not have a GTK, it evicts the node from the network.

For feature overview and configuration details, see the Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers SCADA Software Configuration Guide at www.cisco.com/go/cgr1000-docs.
Incremental software image upgrade
Starting in this release, the CG-OS software image files (kickstart and system image) are now available in two formats:
•
•
The incremental image file contains only the differences between the previous software image and the new software image.
Using the CLI, you can combine the incremental image file from the new release with the full image file from the previous release to get the equivalent of the full image file for the new release.
The combined software image file can be used to upgrade the software on the Cisco CG-OS router with the install all command.
CG3(1)
See Generating Software Images Using Incremental Image Files.
Control-plane Policing (part of QoS)
Control-plane policing (CoPP or CPP) is used to prevent the Cisco CG-OS router CPU from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. CoPP increases security on the router by protecting the system from unnecessary or DoS traffic and giving priority to important control-plane and management traffic.
To protect the control plane against DoS attacks and to restrict specific flows, there should be a flexible way to police different classes of traffic destined to the CPU.
CG3(1)
For feature overview and configuration details, see the Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers QoS Software Configuration Guide at www.cisco.com/go/cgr1000-docs.
BBU firmware upgrade
The BBU firmware is upgraded from version 2082 to version 8272 to provide updates for BBU longevity (CSCud72898).
The firmware is upgraded as part of the CG3(2) installation using the install all command.To check the BBU firmware version, use the show env power command.
CG3(1)
See Upgrading to a New Software Release.
For BBU details, see the Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router Hardware Installation Guide at www.cisco.com/go/cgr1000-docs.
3G Module Reload Enhancement

Note
Generating Software Images Using Incremental Image Files
The kickstart and system images are both available as incremental image files. Incremental image files contain only the differences between the previous software image and the new software image. An incremental software image can be combined with the previous software image to get the equivalent of the full version of the new software image, which can then be installed with the install all command, as described in the previous section.
For example, an incremental image file for CG3(1) contains only the differences between CG3(1) and the previous software release, CG2(1). You can combine the CG3(1) incremental image file with the CG2(1) software image to get the equivalent of the full version of the CG3(1) software image. There are separate incremental image files for the kickstart and system images.
To generate software images using incremental patch files, you use the image-patch command in privileged EXEC mode. The following table provides detailed command syntax for the image-patch command.
EXAMPLE
This example shows how to combine the CG2(1) seed image file
cgr1000-uk9.5.2.1.CG2.0.59.SPA.binwith the CG3(1) incremental patch filecgr1000-uk9.5.2.1.CG3.0.16-CG2.0.59.SPA.binand place the combined file into bootflash:cgr1000# image-patch seed-image cgr1000-uk9.5.2.1.CG2.0.59.SPA.bin patch-file cgr1000-uk9.5.2.1.CG3.0.16-CG2.0.59.SPA.bin target-path bootflash:

Run the image-patch command for both the kickstart and system images. After you have generated both images, run the install all command to upgrade the router to the new software version. See Upgrading to a New Software Release.
Erasing the Configuration File
When you enter the write erase [boot | debug | secrets] command, it erases all of the persistent memory of the Cisco CG-OS router except for items noted in the table below.
Important Notes
Battery Backup Unit
To prevent the battery backup unit (BBU) from discharging during transport or servicing of the Cisco CGR 1240 Router, disable the BBU automatic discharge feature using the system software. For details on this procedure, please see the Installing Battery Backup chapter within the Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router Hardware Installation Guide.
BBUs are not supported on the Cisco CGR 1120 Router.
Guidelines and Limitations
Refer to the "Guidelines and Limitations" section of each chapter within the Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers Software Configuration Guides and the highlighted Notes, Warnings, and Cautions throughout all Cisco CG-OS router documentation.
DHCP Client IP Route Setup Changes
In Cisco CG-OS Release CG3(1), the software reports all IP routes set up by the DHCP client directly to the IP routing table. To review the information added by the DHCP client, enter the show ip route detail command. If an IP route entry of
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x 254orip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.xappears when you are operating with CG3(1) software, you must remove the entry by entering the no ip route command. This IP route process differs from that of Cisco CG-OS Release CG2(1) and earlier releases. In those earlier software releases, you entered the show running-config command to review the IP route entry.•
•
Manual Start for NTP Service
To start the Network Time Protocol (NTP) service on the router, you must now enter the feature ntp command. In previous releases, the NTP service was started by default when the router was booted, and it could not be disabled.
After the NTP service is enabled, you can disable it with the no feature ntp command. Note that when the NTP service is disabled, the NTP-related statements in the router configuration are disabled.
Limitations and Restrictions
Cisco recommends that you review this section before you begin working with the router. These are known limitations that will not be fixed, and there is not always a workaround for these issues. Some features might not work as documented, and some features might be affected by recent changes to the CG-OS router hardware or software.
Hardware Limitations
Table 5 lists the limitations in this release for hardware features that are described in detail in the
Cisco Connected Grid Router Hardware Installation Guide for the Cisco CGR 1120 or CGR 1240.
Software Limitations
•
Symptom: Creating a username (not password) within the local database on the router that already exists on the external AAA server generates an inaccurate error message such as
Please first delete that account using "no" option.Conditions: CG-OS software allows use of the same username in both the local router database and an external server.
Workaround: Create the username on the local authentication store of the router first, and then replicate it on the external AAA server. The AAA server will not complain.
•
Symptom: In some cases, over the air service provisioning (OTASP) might not be successful or might time out.
Workaround: Re-attempt OTASP activation.
•
Symptom: The term "switch" is used in the CGR 1000 command-line interface (CLI). The CGR is a router.
Conditions: The term is used in various places in the CLI.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: A learned OSPF route is given preference over the same static route configured in the CGR 1000.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the same router is both a learned OSPF route and a configured route.
Workaround: To resolve this issue, remove the learned OSPF route from the router configuration. To prevent this issue from occurring, do not use OSPF on an interface for which you want to use static routes.
•
Symptom: The CGR 1000 reports hardware and environmental power data about a single power supply only, even though it has both AC and DC power supplies.
Conditions: This issue occurs because CGR actually has hardware for just the AC power supply. The DC power supply input is to the AC power supply, and the DC power supply is managed by the AC power supply hardware. Consequently, the CGR 1000 reports information about the AC power supply hardware only.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: For configured security changes to take effect on the WiMAX interface, you must remove the EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLs configuration then add it again.
Conditions: When changing existing security settings on the WiMAX interface (for example, changing the server or device trustpoint).
Workaround: Disable and then enable the corresponding auth-method again by using the following commands:
Disable the auth-method: no pkm auth-method
Re-enable the auth-method: pkm auth-method eap-tls or pkm auth-method eap-ttls
•
Symptom: A tunnel interface is configured with no keepalive by default.
Conditions: This issue occurs on all tunnel interfaces.
Workaround: Use the keepalive interface configuration command to enable keepalive on the tunnel interface.
•
Symptom: The CGR 1000 does not respond with an echo reply to link-local echo requests.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the router receives a link-local request for the first time. The router does send an echo reply to subsequent link-local echo requests.
Workaround: None.
•
Symptom: The CGR 1000 fails certificate authentication.
Conditions: This issue can occur when authenticating the router using Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP). If the enrollment profile refers to a Cisco IOS registration agent (RA), and the RA refers to a sub-certificate authority (SubCA) instead of a certificate authority (CA), the authentication fails.
Workaround: Use one of the following workarounds: Authenticate to the SubCA over a terminal connection, or authenticate to the SubCA but do not use a Cisco IOS RA.
•
Symptom: The show interface ethernet command displayed the incorrect media type as SFP when SFP was inserted.
Conditions: When RJ-45 connectors were replaced with SFP connectors in the Ethernet ports, the output of the show interface ethernet command still indicated that the media-type installed was RJ-45.
Workaround: None.
•
Symptom: A cell power module (cell PM) restart causes the 3G module to reload.
Conditions: When a 3G-related process was killed.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: The vsh process might crash when making repeated configuration changes and issuing copy running-config startup-config commands.
Conditions: When making repeated configuration changes and issuing copy running-config startup-config commands after every configuration change, the vsh process might crash.
Workaround: The vsh process automatically restarts itself after crashing. The CLI interface remains operational.
•
Symptom: The syslog message for BBUs does not take into account BBUs that are in the inhibit discharge mode.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the router has three BBUs: two of the BBUs are in the uninhibit discharge mode, and one is in the inhibit discharge mode. The syslog message reporting the status of the BBUs shows the capacity of the BBUs in the uninhibit discharge mode, but the system does not take into account the capacity of the BBU in the inhibit discharge mode.
Workaround: None.
•
Symptom: The BIOS on routers running Cisco CG-OS Release 5.2(1)CG1(3c) or earlier cannot be upgraded to a new version.
Conditions: Software releases earlier than Cisco CG-OS Release CG2(1) do not support BIOS upgrade. When you run the install all command, the upgrade table shows nothing in the
Running-VersionorNew-Versioncolumns for the BIOS, and theUpg-Requiredcolumn for the BIOS always showsno.Workaround: Support for BIOS upgrade was added in Cisco CG-OS Release CG2(1). After you upgrade the router to Cisco CG-OS Release CG2(1), you will be able to upgrade the BIOS.
•
Symptom: The router BIOS cannot be downgraded to an earlier version.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you attempt to downgrade the router software from Cisco CG-OS Release CG2(1) or later to an earlier version. When you enter the install all command, the upgrade table shows nothing in the
New-Versioncolumn for the BIOS, and theUpg-Requiredcolumn for the BIOS showsno.Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue. Software releases earlier than Cisco CG-OS Release CG2(1) do not support BIOS downgrade.
•
Symptom: Output from show mesh-security session all does not show all current mesh security sessions.
Conditions: This issue occurs in the output of the show mesh-security session all command.
Workaround: To find out the mesh-key status of a meter, use the show mesh-security session mac <mac-address> command.
Caveats
This section addresses the open caveats in this release and provides information on how to use the
Bug Toolkit to find further details on those caveats, and includes the following topics:Open Caveats
•
Symptom: The show ip adjacency statistics command displays inaccurate statistics. All packet and byte counts are displayed as 0. Entering the clear ip adjacency statistics command does not resolve this issue.
Conditions: This issue can occur when the system is passing data.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: The tacacs-server host test command does not display related messages.
Conditions: This issue occurs when using any of the command keywords: {idle-time minutes | password password [idle-time minutes] | username name [password password [idle-time minutes]]}
Workaround: Enter the test aaa configuration mode command to display related messages. See the Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Router Security Software Configuration Guide for more information about this command: www.cisco.com/go/cgr1000-docs
•
Symptom: The command aaa authentication login error-enable fails to return any error message when the external AAA server is unreachable, other than
Access denied. Using keyboard-interactive authentication.if the user enters valid credentials that exist on the external AAA server.Conditions: The AAA command aaa authentication login error-enable is configured and the external AAA server is unreachable or the AAA daemons are down.
Workaround: Define authentication locally on the router.
•
Symptom: AAA authorization fails for a CGDM client (CG-NMS and CGDM) if an "admin" user account does not exist in the external TACACS+ user database. This user also has to have the correct privileges equivalent to a network-admin role.
Conditions: With an AAA TACACS+ server host configured, along with the following AAA policies configured on the CGR:
aaa authentication login default group <TACACS+_server_group>
aaa authorization commands default group <TACACS+_server_group>
aaa authorization config-commands default group <TACACS+_server_group>
Workaround: Create an "admin" user account within the external AAA TACACS+ user database and assign it privileges equivalent to a network-admin role.
•
Symptom: The CGR 1000 Router Ethernet interfaces stop detecting Ethernet traffic when both IPv4 and IPv6 packets are sent over the interface.
Conditions: This issue occurs when both IPv6 and IPv4 Ethernet packets are sent to a router Ethernet interface that is configured with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: Certain fields in the show cellular command output are not populated with data.
Conditions: Always.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: The state of the interface is listed as
nonein the reason field,state_rsn_desc, of the show interface e2/x command output when it should showLine protocol is up. It also states thatLink not connectedwhen it should sayLine protocol is downConditions: Issue is present when line protocol is up and when line protocol is down.
Workaround: None
•
Symptom: When two or more IMIX data streams that are configured with different priorities are sent in both directions over the 3G interface, the data steam set to default priority is given a higher priority than data streams configured with a higher priority.
Conditions: This issue occurs when no QoS priorities are applied on either the egress or ingress, and there is data congestion on the interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: The IP ARP table that displays when you enter the show ip arp command show the state INCOMPLETE in the MAC address column.
Conditions: This issue can occur when the Ethernet cable is removed from an Ethernet port that is actively transferring data.
Workaround: Stop the traffic flow and rediscover ARP.
•
Symptom: The Call Home feature does not send a Call Home notification if the CGR 1000 is booted up and operating without a battery backup unit (BBU) installed.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the Call Home feature is enabled on the router and there is no BBU installed in the router.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.

Workaround: To prevent this issue, avoid configuring static routes to subnets. To resolve this issue remove the static router after rebooting the router.
•
Symptom: Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) indicates that a duplicate IPv6 address being used on a CGR 1000 Ethernet interface is valid. DAD should indicate the address as invalid because the address is already in use by an interface on another network device.
Conditions: This issue occurs after performing the following steps on the CGR 1000 interface that is using the duplicate address: 1) Use DAD to verify the IP address. 2) Change the MAC address.
Workaround: Configure the affected interface with another, unique IPv6 address.
•
Symptom: The output of the show module command indicates that a module is fully functional when it might still be going through initialization.
Conditions: The output of the show module command displays
Okin the Status column while the module is still being initialized, and might not yet be fully functional.Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue. After the show module command displays status
Okfor the module, you might need to wait up to 1 minute before the module is fully functional and able to pass traffic.•
Symptom: When you disable the feature scada-gw command by entering feature scada-gw, the command options for the scada-gw command remain in the global configuration mode.
Conditions: Disabling the feature scada-gw should disable all options associated with that command and they should not appear as configurable options in the global configuration command mode.
Workaround: None.
•
Symptom: The install all command returns a message
Invalid bootvar specified in the input.Conditions: This issue occurs when you enter the install all command and specify one of the following URIs with the bootflash parameter:
bootflash://module-1/,bootflash://sup-1/,bootflash://sup-active/, orbootflash://sup-local/.Workaround: When issuing the install all command, do not use these bootflash URIs:

Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: When attempting to register a CGR with CG-NMS, the following error appears in the CG-NMS logs:
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: unknown_caConditions: This error occurs due to one of the following: There are multiple trustpoints configured on the CGR and the certificates for each trustpoint are multi-layered, meaning that there is a hierarchy in the certificate chain (sub-ca --> root-ca). The two trustpoints are pointing to the same CA and the CA is in a hierarchy of CAs.
Workaround: Delete one of the multi-layered certificates from one of the unused trustpoints and the CGR should be able to register with CG-NMS successfully.
•
Symptom: When configuring an interface as a default Ethernet interface by using the default interface Ethernet <slot/port> command, it should remove the previous configuration of the interface. Therefore, when you enter a command to check the running configuration (for example: show running-config int e2/8) it should not show any configuration or logging event details for the interface. The modified Ethernet interface should only show minimal information as shown below:
!Time: Thu Jul 26 08:36:47 2012version 5.2(1)CG2(1)interface Ethernet2/8Conditions: Currently, the software displays logging event information, in error, when you enter the show running-config command for the interface (as shown below):
show running-config int e2/8interface Ethernet2/1interface Ethernet2/2no logging event port link-statusno logging event port trunk-status...interface Ethernet2/8logging event port link-statuslogging event port trunk-statusno shutdown(partial display)
Workaround: None.
•
Symptom: The input rate on the serial interface of the CGR 1120 always displays as zero (0) in the serial interface statistics summary even though the received input packet count shows an increase.
Conditions: Connecting to the serial port on a CGR 1120 via Hyperteminal.
Workaround: This is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: Entering the shutdown command on the serial port of the CGR 1120 resets the input packet count to zero.
Conditions: Input packet count had a value greater that zero prior to entering the shutdown command.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: If the 3G module was inserted into a different slot and was configured (for example, with a static route), the configuration details are seen in the running configuration when you issue the show run command. However, if you tried to remove the route, you could not because the module was in different slot now.
Conditions: 3G Module was moved to a different slot.
Workaround: Move the 3G module back to the original slot and remove the route.
•
Symptom: The CPU temperature sensor on the router might not report accurate information.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the router reads the CPU temperature.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: Unable to log into the router immediately after a reload.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you try to log into the router from the command prompt right after you have reloaded the router configuration; the login attempt will be unsuccessful.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: In some cases, entering the show scada-gw internal database command on the CGR 1120 to query data on remote terminal units (RTUs) can cause the scada-engine to stop working on the system.
Conditions: Protocol Translation is active on the CGR 1120 and greater than 500 RTU data points are queried by the CGR 1120.
Workaround: Do not query more than 500 RTU data points when employing the show scada-gw internal database command.

Symptom: When pinging a multicast address to get echo responses with the correct latency numbers, only the first response has the correct latency number. Subsequent responses do not show up until the next echo request is sent and their latency values (for the replies of previous request) show incorrectly calculated figures.
Conditions: When ping6 is done to a multicast address through a WPAN interface.
Workaround: None
•
Symptom: When the router executes the install all CLI command, the AAA accounting logs show user accounts "admin" and "root" as the users who executed the command instead of the real user.
Conditions: This happens when AAA commands accounting is enabled (via TACACS+) on the router.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: Removing a RADIUS server with the no radius-server host command returns a message indicating the server could not be removed from the configuration, although the RADIUS server actually is removed from the configuration.
Conditions: This issue occurs when type 6 password encryption is enabled.
Workaround: None necessary, although you should enter the show running-config command to make sure that the RADIUS server was removed from the configuration.
•
Symptom: A bad Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) message appears at random times.
Conditions: Issue is present after establishing connection on a WiMAX module after a reboot.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: The output of the show interface transceiver command indicates that a transceiver is not installed when one actually is installed in the module.
Conditions: This issue occurs when non-supported SFPs are installed in the module.
Workaround: Only use supported SFPs. See Table 3 for a list of supported SFPs
•
Symptom: In some cases, when you disconnect a RTU from the SCADA system, the connections to the Control Centers might remain connected. Initiating a General Interrogation of the RTU might also indicate that all RTUs are in good shape.
Conditions: It is expected that the RTU would disconnect from the Control Centers.
Workaround: Reset the SCADA gateway to show the correct states of the RTU.
•
Symptom: The configured number of SSH login-attempts does not match the actual allowed number of SSH login-attempts.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you set the number of attempts an SSH user can make to enter their username and password to 3 (this is also the default). When a user subsequently tries to log in using SSH, the system only allows two tries to enter the correct username and password.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: The logging message
AAA_SERVER_UNAVILABLEappears when device authentication failed due to wrong certificate.Conditions: The Device presented the wrong certificate for authentication to the AAA server.
Workaround: None
•
Symptom: The snmpset command for ceExtSysBootImageList and ceExtKickstartImageList fails sometimes due to timeout.
Conditions: Image Validation takes more than 5 seconds by bootvar (a process that runs in the background), which is the expected behavior. This can cause the snmpset command to fail due to timeout. Because the image size is very big (more than 100 MB), additional optimization to reduce the image validation time is not possible.
Workaround: There are two ways to work around this issue:
–
snmpset -v2c -cprivate 172.27.161.88 ceExtSysBootImageList.22 s "bootflash:/cgr1000-uk9.5.2.1.CG2.0.179.SSA.gbin"Use this command:

•
Symptom: IGMP when configured does not work on the CGR. The IGMP process does not work.
Conditions: Clients send IGMP join messages to the CGR.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
Symptom: When a receiver sends the join message,
no (S,G)is created in the mroute table on the router.Conditions: The router adds the
no (S,G)entry to the mroute table when the user configures Source Specific Multicast (SSM) on the router, and a receiver sends the join (G) request to the router.Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: Rollback to a previous checkpoint configuration failed.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you configure AAA commands, save a checkpoint, modify the AAA configuration, and save another checkpoint. Attempting to roll back to the first checkpoint fails, and the output of the show rollback log verify command indicates that the verification patch contains AAA commands.
Workaround: Remove the AAA commands from the running-config.
•
Symptom: The rollback function did not roll back the logging logfile configuration statement.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the logging logfile statement exists in the running config. If you save a checkpoint, then configure a new logging logfile statement, when you roll back to the previous checkpoint, the logging logfile statement from the checkpoint is not applied.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
•
Symptom: If feature scp-server is enabled, only the admin user can log into the CGR. With
feature sftp-server enabled (which uses the SSHd mechanism), only the admin user account can be used to log into the CGR. When using a valid set of credentials that exist in the AAA server, no other user can be used. This means that the admin user account has to be replicated in the external AAA database which may violate some company's security policy since it is a known username and some AAA servers treat this account differently than others. The normal SSH process allows valid AAA user credentials.Conditions: The command feature scp-server is enabled
Workaround: To allow non-admin accounts with network-admin user role to access the CGR, enable feature sftp-server.
•
Symptom: Inconsistent service LED results in output of show cellular x/x led. Service LED is listed as

Workaround: This issue is resolved in Cisco CG-OS Release CG3(2).
•
Symptom: In some circumstances, when you configure the CGR call home notification to report every minute, CG-NMS makes repeated queries to the CGR, which might cause memory leaks in related processes over a long period of time.
Conditions: The call home notification frequency had a setting of one minute. Settings of 15 minutes or greater are the norm.
Workaround: Software changes in CG3(2) reduce the incidence of these call home memory leaks.
•
Symptom: WPAN port manager forwarded Power Restoration Notification (PRN) Messages to the CG-NMS.
Conditions: PRN messages were generated by the mesh node (meters or any other device where a communications module (CM) is used) when power was restored.
