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 Online Tree

or Refresh Network Online Tree from the Online Tree Context Menu to update the Online Tree (FIG. 233):
