• Select Online to put the devices or routers in the online state.

This is the default for routers. The behavior in the online state
depends on the device. A Neuron-hosted device, for example,
will run its application after it has been moved.

• Select Offline to put the devices or routers in the offline state.

This is the default for devices. The behavior in the offline state
depends on the device. A Neuron-hosted device, for example,
will not run its application after it has been moved. Devices in
the offline state still respond to Online, Wink, and Test
commands. The devices also receive network variable updates;
however, their applications will not process these values, and
the devices will not send network variable updates.

• Select Restore to return the devices or routers to their states

before they were moved.

3. Click OK. If OpenLNS CT is OnNet and any of the devices or routers have been commissioned,

the Move Devices and Routers dialog box opens.

4. Physically move the device or router onto the channel you selected.

5. Click OK. OpenLNS CT completes the channel change.

6. If the channel change fails, a Re-commission Prompt will open in which you can recommission

the devices that you tried to move. Click Yes to recommission the devices. Re-commissioned
routers will be put in the online state; devices will be placed offline. Click No

to leave the devices

deconfigured.
