Firmware can also be downloaded to accessory items via a direct USB connection
using the PC as a Virtual Master (Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB
port
section on page 121 ). In this case, you will still need to know the System and
Device Number information of the target panel. For a more detailed description of
