This device is not given a unique device number which would ordinarily appear within the Online Tree tab of
NetLinx Studio. It appears below the target panel which it is a part of as seen in FIG. 79 on page 80.
The only way to upgrade the firmware of an accessory item is to send the accessory’s firmware through a

procedures to mount the NXT atop the battery base.
Verify your NXA-BASE/B is securely attached to the bottom of the NXT panel.

how to setup this type of connection, refer to the Upgrading Accessory Devices via
the USB section on page 80.

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.
