PARAMETERS The device ID.
RETURNS OK or an error message.
REMARKS None.
EXAMPLE delete 2046
OK
ROUTE
DESCRIPTION Sets a route for the target device.
PARAMETERS The device ID and the route description (composed of the routing
devices’ IDs). To clear a route, provide only the target device ID (in
other words, a null route).
RETURNS OK or an error message.
REMARKS The ROUTE command updates the internal descriptors for the
specified target device. Normally, after inserting a new device, it is
assumed that this device is to be called directly, that is, no routing
stations are in between. If a station has to be routed over one or
more other stations, the gateway must know the path to be used
when calling that station. The route is given as a list of devices,
always starting from the gateway and progressing to the end-
station (see example below). Note that the number of relay sta-
tions is limited to 8, which is in practice more than sufficient. To
verify the route a specific device uses to communicate, use the
INSPECT command (see page 31).
EXAMPLE route 2333 2400 2402 2500
OK
In the example above, station 2333 is routed over a path defined
by devices 2400, 2402 and 2500. This corresponds to the following
topographic situation:
To clear a route, use the same command, but include no parame-
ters for the path:
