NXA-RGB card (FG2260)
NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box (FG2254-11)
These devices are not given a unique device numbers which would ordinarily appear within the Online Tree tab of

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 103). 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
how to setup this type of connection, refer to the Configuring and Using USB with a
Virtual Master section on page 81.
DO NOT PLACE BATTERIES IN THE BASE BEFORE CONNECTING IT TO THE
NXT PANEL. Insert batteries into the NXA-BASE/B ONLY AFTER the base has been
installed onto the bottom of the NXT panel.
Having batteries in the base before connection can damage the battery base.
