A router selects and connects to
a coordinator with a good RSSI
value among the coordinators
with the same network name.
Connection errors can be prevented
because a router cannot connect to
a different network name.

Notes
Parent Mandatory
Up to 16 alphanumeric characters
and symbols (*)
Set a value that does not overlap with
those of other coordinators.
Router Mandatory
Up to 16 alphanumeric characters
and symbols (*)
Use the same value as the coordinator.
* The following five symbols can be used: space, hyphen, underscore, period, and
ampersand.
In this configuration example, because there is only a single coordinator in the vicinity, the
coordinator and routers are set to a common network name shown in Fig. 5.9.
