User Questions
Inter-Operability testing expectations for 61850
• Do we need it?
• Should this be only between pairs of devices?
• How do we define the functions to be tested?
• Should we expect “no manual configuration”?
(is “tweaking to pass the test” allowed?)
• Should we test peer-to-peer communication?
