IsRouter
This setting controls whether the datalogger is configured as a router or
as a leaf node. If the value of this setting is true, the datalogger will be
configured to act as a PakBus router. That is, it will be able to forward
PakBus packets from one port to another. To perform its routing duties,
a datalogger configured as a router will maintain its own list of
neighbours and send this list to other routers in the PakBus network. It
will also obtain and receive neighbour lists from other routers.
If the value of this setting is false, the datalogger will be configured to
act as a leaf node. In this configuration, the datalogger will not be able
to forward packets from one port to another and it will not maintain a
list of neighbours. Under this configuration, the datalogger can still
communicate with other dataloggers and wireless sensors. It cannot,
however, be used as a means of reaching those other dataloggers. The
default value is false.
