The preceding four steps complete the configuration when a single custom
transceiver is used. Proceed with the following steps if two custom transceivers
are to be used with the RTR-10 router.
5. Remove power from the RTR-10 router.
6. Disconnect the predefined transceiver from Side A.
7. Select the custom transceiver ID (type 30, 0x1E) on Side A.
8. Attach the selected custom transceiver to Side B as shown in Figure 29,
leaving the Side B transceiver ID set to 30 (0x1E).

Developing a Router with the Router 5000 Chip
To create a L ON W ORKS router with the Router 5000, perform the following steps:
1. Build a router motherboard according to the specifications described in
Chapter 2, LONWORKS Router Electrical Interfaces, and the guidelines
described in Chapter 5, LONWORKS Router Design Issues. The
motherboard can be part of custom application hardware, or can be a
standalone board.
2. Program the serial EEPROM for each router half. The serial EEPROM
holds the router configuration and communications parameters for the
transceiver. See Configuring a Series 5000 Half-Router for more
information about router configuration. You can program the EEPROMs
either before assembly or in-circuit after assembly.
3. Assemble the router, including the two Router 5000 half-routers, two
transceivers, and a motherboard.
4. Install the router on a network as described in Chapter 6, Installing a
LONWORKS Router.. The network could be a development network for
