the network recovery process.

If the Set Location Property to Subsystem ID check box is
cleared,

you can enter a location description for the router. You

can enter up to 6 ASCII text characters, or up to 12 hex digits.

If you do not specify a value and the Set Location Property to
Subsystem ID
check box in the Network Properties:
Recovery options category is cleared, the current value in the
router will be written to this field and stored in the OpenLNS
network database when the router is commissioned.

Ping Interval

Enables the OpenLNS Server to ping the router periodically.
Pinging verifies that a router is still operating and
communicating with the network.

Set the ping interval based on the expected movement of the
router. Select Never to disable pinging. To enable pinging,
change the ping interval to 15 minutes if you expect the router
will seldom move or if the router is on a power line channel, 2
minutes
if you expect it will move somewhat frequently, and 1
minute
if you expect it will move frequently.

You must set a ping value for IzoT Commissioning Tool to
display errors on a router’s SmartShape. See IzoT
Commissioning Tool Device Styles
in Chapter 8, Managing
Networks
, for more information.
