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

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.
