And when you perform this last step to verify the firmware version, any controller that you just updated is discovered as Unit #2.  That is when you verify and assign the correct Unit #'s for your show, and why many of us NEVER use Unit #2 in our shows.  Some of us have updated firmware so many times (and reassigned Unit I.D. numbers even more times) that we have gotten in the habit of ALWAYS checking I.D. numbers whenever we fire up the hardware utility, as controllers have been known to reset themselves BACK to Unit #2 on rare occasions.

Personally, I discover all units to make sure they're "there."  Then I start bringing up individual unit #'s and initiate a chase.  Then I go outside to do a "dimmer check."  During this procedure is when I discover errant unit #'s, swapped electrical cords, and burned out instruments.  I don't do a check every night, but If I've messed around with the equipment that day, I'm sure to do one.
