terminal blocks located on the bottom board. Select the “Get”
button for the Device Type and Firmware Version, verify that it
displays router and the current firmware version as shown.
Set PAN ID and Channel for Wireless Network
On the Network Mode tab set the PAN ID on each router to that

routers for future reference.
