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.

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.
