摘要： According to various embodiments, a communication switch may create and/or manage a variety of configurable network relationships between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) connected via disparate network interfaces using a variety of communication protocols. Accordingly, a communication switch may provide media translation between various types of physical network ports and communication protocol conversion between various communication protocols. For example, a communication switch may be used to create a networked group of IEDs in which some IEDs are connected via Ethernet ports and other IEDs are connected via D-subminiature ports and/or optical ports. The communication switch may create and/or manage network relationships such as publisher/subscriber, master/slave, multidrop configurations, star configurations, and/or other complex network relationships between two or more IEDs or groups of IEDs.

摘要： According to various embodiments, a session manager generates, stores, and periodically updates the login credentials for each of a plurality of connected IEDs. An operator, possibly via an access device, may provide unique login credentials to the session manager. The session manager may determine the authorization level of the operator based on the operator's login credentials, defining with which IEDs the operator may communicate. According to various embodiments, the session manager does not facilitate a communication session between the operator and a target IED. Rather, the session manager maintains a first communication session with the operator and initiates a second communication session with the target IED. Accordingly, the session manager may forward commands transmitted by the operator to the target IED. Based on the authorization level of the operator, a session filter may restrict what may be communicated between an operator and an IED.

摘要： The present disclosure provides systems and methods for remote device management. According to various embodiments, a local intelligent electronic device (IED) may be in communication with a remote IED via a limited bandwidth communication link, such as a serial link. The limited bandwidth communication link may not support traditional remote management interfaces. According to one embodiment, a local IED may present an operator with a management interface for a remote IED by rendering locally stored templates. The local IED may render the locally stored templates using sparse data obtained from the remote IED. According to various embodiments, the management interface may be a web client interface and/or an HTML interface. The bandwidth required to present a remote management interface may be significantly reduced by rendering locally stored templates rather than requesting an entire management interface from the remote IED. According to various embodiments, an IED may comprise an encryption transceiver.
