Radio module information panel
Local radio modules appear as big buttons in the modules list. Each module displays identifying information about itself.
To work with a radio module, you must select it from the list of devices. When you hover over a module, the background color changes to yellow.
Selecting a radio module refreshes the contents of the working area, displaying the information or actions you can perform on the selected module. The contents of the working area depend on the active working mode.
Module Icon
An icon on the left side of the information panel identifies the module type and protocol.

Buttons along the right-hand side of the module information panel perform actions on the selected module:
| Button | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Remove | Removes the radio module from the list of devices. Also removes the associated communication console and network view of that module. Removes the local module and any associated remote modules. |
|
Search |
Discovers remote radio modules in the same network. Dependent on radio module protocol. Performs an SSID discovery for Wi-Fi modules, and for any other protocol performs a discovery of remote radio modules. See Discover remote radio modules and Active scan. |
|
Expand/collapse | Expands and collapses the remote radio modules list. |
New firmware indicator
When a radio module is not running the latest firmware version it is able to run, the New Firmware control displays next to the name label for the information panel.
This control indicates that there is a newer firmware version that can be flashed in the radio module. If you click New Firmware, the Update firmware dialog is automatically opened for that radio module. All of the available firmware versions for the radio module are listed in the dialog.
Remove a radio module
Click Remove 
to remove a selected radio module from the list of devices. Removing a module from the list also disables the associated communication console and network view of the module.
Note Clicking the Remove button of a remote module removes only that radio module from the sub-list of remote modules. Click the Remove button of a local module with a sub-list of remote modules removes the local module as well as all of its remote modules.
Expand/Collapse radio modules list
If the protocol of the radio module is ZigBee or DigiMesh and you have found remote modules in the same network, you can use the expand/collapse
button to expand or collapse the list of remote modules under the local device.
Note This button is only enabled for local radio modules.
Module information box
When you hover over the icon, XCTU displays additional information about the selected module, including module type, family, protocol, device type, firmware, and hardware.
