The Device information section lists all the antennas/transducers connected to the NIC-500, the
port they are connected to, as well as their serial numbers.
When using a NIC-500N only, the firmware on a Noggin must be at a certain level. If the
firmware on a connected Noggin is below that level, it will display an exclamation mark after the
number in the firmware column. Contact Sensors & Software to have the software updated.
Multiple NIC-500s
In the case of daisy-chained NIC-500s, when a software update is uploaded to the Parent NIC-
500, it will automatically be uploaded to the sub-ordinate NIC-500s. The user should open the
subsequent NIC-500 pages by pressing the plus button at the top right of the screen (Figure
4-38). This will spawn a new browser window for the sub-ordinate NIC-500. Check that the app
has been applied by verifying the version number after reboot is complete.

prompts them to reboot the system.
