The following aspects must be taken into consideration when defining the role for a device or
range of devices:
1. Upon join, each device states its capacity.
2. The roles of the backbone router and the gateway cannot be changed, therefore providing a
role value in this section is unnecessary.
3. The role selection for a field device is limited to the capacity stated by that device.
Examples:
4. If you add the role for a range of devices, all the devices in question will have the same
role. If any device in the range does not support the assigned role, the device will not join
the network.

If a device has only the IO role, you cannot add the Routing role for that device
in the Device Management section.
If a device has both the IO and the Routing roles, you can limit its role in the
network to one of the two, by typing either 1 or 2 after the subnet ID.
If you do not specify a role in this section, the System Manager will admit the
role(s) stated by the device.
See the previous Note on Device Roles if you wish to edit device roles.
