How to Check the Version of the Software on Your Node?

The software version of your node is not necessarily the same as the version that is installed on your computer or device. The software version of your node is shown at the top right corner of the screen. It may be underlined, in red, or italicized.
To view the software version of your node, please follow these steps:
Step 1: Open a web browser (you can use Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome)
Step 2: Type ``http://www.your_IP_address'' without quotes into the address bar and hit ENTER
Step 3: You should see a page that has an overview of all nodes listed on your network with links to each one. If you have more than one instance running on your network, it will show you both instances listed together in order by date and time they were last updated and then by IP address
If you do not see this page when typing in ``http://www.your_IP_address'' into your web browser, make sure that Node-RED is up and running with Internet access enabled. If you still cannot find it after following these steps, please contact our Support Team for help at support@tippingpointsecurity.com
