Designing Networks

To add a router to an OpenLNS CT drawing, follow these steps:

1. Drag a Router SmartShape (

) from the OpenLNS CT stencil to the drawing page. The New

Router Wizard opens unless you enabled automatic channel selection.

2. Enter the following information:

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 clicking Add-ins,
clicking OpenLNS CT, clicking OpenLNS CT Options, and then
selecting the Naming option from the Options Category list.

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

channel type.

You can limit the channel types displayed by specifying the channel
types in a custom router SmartShape.
