Hello and welcome to the router forum Rod

Thanks, guys for the welcome!!
Welcome to the forum both of you 
Welcome to the forum Rod. If I'm understanding the question correctly it's about mounting a router to the table. If so the manual should show you where the router mounting holes are located in the top and matching those, usually a variety of them to fit many routers, to the router you want to use. It's been more than a few years since I had a Craftsman table but if I remember correctly you removed the plate from the bottom and mounted using the screw directly to the underside of the table. You'll want to be sure the collet is centered, Bosch and a few others make a centering cone that goes in the collet so brand shouldn't be an issue.
