Establish what version of firmware is currently loaded on the controller (see Verifying the Current Firmware
Version below).
Verifying the Current Firmware Version
Use the OnLine Tree in NetLinx Studio to verify which version of each firmware file is currently installed.

Controller, verify the Central Controller and associated devices are listed in the OnLine Tree.
