right-click one of them), and then and select Manage on the shortcut menu. You can also select the
Routers tab after you have opened one of the other tabs with one or more routers selected. The
Routers tab of the LonMaker Device Manager appears.

selected routers, and a Results Log that lists the results of any commands or tests.
Click one or more routers in the Object List and then click any of the following buttons:

The tests run are determined by the options set in the Device Manager
Settings dialog, which you can open by clicking Settings,
and by the device
application . The test results are displayed in the Results Log.
Clear Status Clears the network error statistics for both sides of the router.

offline, the router will go online, unless it is in the hard offline state.

initial values, and then restarts the router application. If any of the routers
were offline, they will be go online after being reset, unless they were in the
hard offline state.
