Working with Online Devices

Working with the Online Tree

The Online Tree tab of the Workspace Bar displays a list of devices detected to be currently online by the Master 
Controller (and the firmware version for each). The Online Tree also provides port status information for each device. 

An example Online Tree is shown below (FIG. 212). 



Online devices are organized according to the System they belong to. 



Double-click any System folder to display a list of System devices (and their firmware version) that are 
currently online.



Double-click any online device in the list to display the ports and sub-devices associated with the device.



Click the 

Display

 command button (or right-click anywhere within the Online Tree tab) to access the Online 

Tree Context Menu.



You can set preferences for the Online Tree via options in the Preferences dialog - 

Online Tree - Zero Config

 

tab (see page 209).

The Online Tree is only a snap shot and is not updated in real time as devices come 
on/off line. Select Refresh System or Refresh Network from the Online Tree 
Context Menu to update the Online Tree.

FIG. 212  

Online Tree

Sub-devices are hardware components contained within a parent device, which may 
require their own firmware. For example, an NXI Master Controller contains three 
components, each of which require firmware.
