Router Name Enter the name of the router. This name must be unique within the
network. The router name may be up to 85 characters and include
embedded spaces, but it may not include period, backslash, colon,
forward slash, or double quote characters.
The default router name is “RTR- 1”. The instance number in the
default router name is incremented for each subsequent router you
create.
You can change this default naming convention by opening the
LonMaker menu, clicking LonMaker Options, and then clicking
Naming Options. See Naming Options in Appendix A for
information on how to use the options on this page to change the
default naming convention.
Commission Router Select this check box to commission the router after defining it.
Type Select the channel type for each of the router’s two channels. By
default, each of these boxes displays the channel type of the channel

filter the existing channels in the Name list to those with a specific
channel type.
You can limit the channel types displayed by specifying the channel
types in a custom router shape.
Name Select the two channels that you will attach to the router. You can
enter a new channel name for one or both of the channels to add new
channel shapes to your LonMaker drawing.
The channel names must be unique within the network and be no
more than 85 characters long. If you are creating one or two new
channels, specify the channel type for each channel in the Type box.
