Firmware Release Requirements
All devices are part of a network with multiple communications protocols that work together to ensure proper operation. The
recommended best practice is that all devices are on an identical release. To view the firmware version of each device on the
network, navigate to device configuration and look under (Settings) > Firmware.
TheformatforShuredevice’sfirmwareisMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.(Ex.1.6.2where1istheMajorfirmwarelevel,6istheMi
nor firmware level, and 2 is the Patch firmware level.) At a minimum, devices that operate on the same subnet should have
identical MAJOR and MINOR release numbers.
Devices of different MAJOR releases are not compatible.
Differences in the PATCH firmware release level may introduce undesired inconsistencies.
