Changing the Channel of Devices

You can physically move a device to a different compatible channel and then logically move the
device in the SmartServer or OpenLNS tree. You can move an application device, preserving the
device’s configuration and all of its connections, and you can move the near or far side of a router. To
move a device to a different channel, follow these steps:

1. Physically remove the device from the source channel and attach it to the destination channel.

2. Right-click the device to be moved logically, point to Change Channel, and then click a

compatible destination channel on the shortcut menu.

3. Click Submit.

4. The device and all of its children functional block and data points are logically removed from the

source channel and they are added to the tree of the selected destination channel.
