Routers can be branch routers. Branch routers only know as neighbors
central routers, routers in route to central routers, and routers one level
outward in the network.
Routers can be central routers. Central routers know the entire network.
A PC running LoggerNet is typically a central router.
Routers can be router-capable dataloggers or communications devices.
The CR1000 is a leaf node by factory default. It can be configured as a router by
setting IsRouter in its Status table to 1 or True. The network shown in figure
PakBus Network Addressing (p. 352) contains six routers and eight leaf nodes.
Consult the appendix Router and Leaf-Node Hardware for a table of available
PakBus® leaf-node and router devices.

LoggerNet is configured by default as a router and can route datalogger- todatalogger
communications.
