Powering the Router
A USB Coordinator & Router must be connected to an AC-USB power source
to become a Router. Once its extended address is added to the commission list
in the Advanced View, and power is applied, it is automatically configured as a
Router.

source for a Router device.
To configure a USB Coordinator & Router as a Router:
1. Ensure its extended address is added to the commission list in the
Advanced View.
2. Plug it into the included AC-USB power source.
Note: Do not power the Router from a USB port on a server or a
device that may attempt enumeration.
