/S Statistics screen. This displays the router statistics

screen via the COM1 port. If the /M switch is set to

monitor statistics, the statistics are reported onscreen.

If the /M switch is not set, the statistics screen is still

displayed, but no statistics are reported. Once per day

the statistics counters are zeroed. When statistics are

updated to the monitor, router operation does slow

down. For optimum performance, turn the statistics

display off. If /S is not on, the Johnson Controls

but router operation can still be confirmed by the

activity of its LEDs.

/T Test option. Causes the router program to evaluate the

contents of the ROUTER.CFG file and report any

errors. The router halts after the file is processed—

therefore, this option should not be specified in an

operating router.

/U This switch is used to allow Multi-Metasys N1

networks to exist on the same Ethernet network.

When configuring the Metasys Ethernet Router to run

in a Multinetwork configuration, The ROUTER.CFG

file must contain the “/U nnnnn” switch. Replace the

nnnnn characters with the UDP port address that was

used to configure the other Metasys Ethernet devices

that will exist within the target Metasys network. DO

NOT use this switch unless you are configuring a

Multiple Metasys N1 Network configuration. See the

following Metasys manual for more information:

LIT-6360175 N1 Ethernet/IP Network Technical

Bulletin

The lines that follow the configuration options in the ROUTER.CFG

file list the Metasys subnets. The first number on each line specifies

the Metasys subnet number. The second number specifies the IP

address for the router that is attached to that subnet. The

descriptions that follow the “#” characters are comments that are

ignored. The last line in the file must contain “000.” This indicates

the end of the configuration information in the ROUTER.CFG file.

The ROUTER.CFG file must be the same (except for the switch

settings) for all of the Metasys Ethernet Routers in the system. If the

ROUTER.CFG file is updated, it must be copied onto each router.
