Cause
MiCOM relays expects a MCL file for IEC61850 configuration settings. 

Resolution
Unfortunately, a CID/IID file cannot be uploaded directly to a MiCOM relay. The CID/IID file needs to be converted into an MCL file
before the configuration settings can be uploaded to the relay. 

This can be done by following the below steps:
