Orion is being enhanced with a complete security front end built-in and integrated within Orion. This webinar will summarize the latest NERC CIP requirements and detail configuration and usage of Orion user groups, firewall, VPN, encryption protocols, keys and log files.

August 12, 2008 Orion DA-Master and the Smart Grid : 12:30pm – 1:30pm Eastern

The Orion DA-Master option enables users to intelligently isolate faulted feeder sections and return service quickly to unfaulted sections. This webinar will review how DA-Master, when connected to feeder IEDs, substation IEDs, and SCADA, can be an integral part of the Smart Grid initiative.

November 11, 2008 New Protocols for Relay Integration for Large Substations : 12:30pm – 1:30pm Eastern

Two new options will enable Orion to automate larger substations with less configuration effort. This webinar will detail configuration and use of the SEL® TCP option (Orion5r serves as terminal server to Master Orion) and Cascaded Orions option (data in Slave Orions is made accessible to Master Orion).
