I. INTRODUCTION

THIS report is focusing on communications with protective relays. However, with the multifunction character of microprocessor relays, these devices might also provide services for, and therefore will be accessed by, other groups in the power utility. In addition to the relays themselves, devices used to access relays such as substation computers, switches, routers as well as Local Area Network security are discussed.
