Preserve
Subnet/Node during
Network Merge

Enables the device to keep its subnet/node ID during a network
merge. This option is disabled by default.

Typically, a network merge changes a device's ID subnet/node ID,
which may require reprogramming of the subnet/node IDs of the
devices in the networks being merged.

If there are devices in the two networks being merged that have the
same subnet ID and node ID, you will need to manually assign a
unique subnet/node for one of the devices. See Merging IzoT
Commissioning Tool Networks
in Chapter 7 for more information on
network merges.

Device Validation

Selects which validation steps are performed by the OpenLNS
Server when you commission devices that use the selected device
template.
