VerificationmodeisaspecialmodethatanSSKnodeorroutercanadoptspecificallytotesttheLQItoanother
device. In this special mode,thedeviceignoresthenormalhierarchical rules used to form a robust  network,
andreliessolelyonsignalstrength.Whenadevice
isrequestedtogointoverificationmode,itwillbrieflydrop
offtheradionetworkand,havingrebooted,reappearrunninginverificationmode.Notethatadeviceplacedin
to verification mode will automatically reboot back into normal mode after 5 minutes if left unattended.

• In the final installation, routers can also be sensors. However, they require a permanent
24Vac/dcsupply.

• Eachrouter cansupporta maximum of 16“children”,which can consistof a
maximumof8
battery powered nodes and 8 routers, or up to 16 routers if there are no battery powered
enddevices(EDs).Inmostcircumstances,itisadvisedthat,unlessunavoidable,nomorethan
8“children”shouldbeconnectedtoasinglerouter,toallowforredundancyincaseof
