The subject matter disclosed herein relates to intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), and, more specifically, to systems and methods for initial configuration or commissioning of IEDs after installation. In an embodiment, a system includes an intelligent electronic device (IED) configuring system having an IED that is configured with a wireless network configuration prior to deployment that enables the IED to automatically connect to a particular wireless network when it is detected. The IED configuring system also includes an IED configuring device configured to host the particular wireless network according to the wireless network configuration of the IED. Furthermore, the IED configuring device is configured to communicate a plurality of configuration settings to the IED via the wireless network to commission the IED once the IED has connected to the wireless network.

Systems and methods for touch-less commissioning of intelligent electronic devices

The embodiments described herein provide a system including an intelligent electronic device (IED) comprising a first processor configured to communicate control commands to power equipment, receive measurements from the power equipment, use a secure wireless system to send data to an access point, wherein the data includes the measurements, and use the secure system to communicate with a management device, via the access point, to receive configuration information, command information, or any combination thereof.
