command). This includes a directly-connected Master (route metric =1)
and indirectly connected masters (route metric greater than 1, but less
than 16).

• Direct mode - allows communication only with masters that are directly

connected (route metric = 1). Indirectly connected masters cannot be
communicated within this mode.

Examples:

>ROUTE MODE DIRECT

Route Mode "Direct" Set

>ROUTE MODE NORMAL

Route Mode "Normal" Set
