Updating The Firmware (Mac Os X) - TerraTec PHASE 26 USB Manual

Power supply.
The PHASE 26 USB System generally can be operated from the USB port without the
need for a power adapter. You should ensure, however, that the port you wish to use can
provide the maximal USB 1 power of 500 mA. Normally, all computer USB interfaces and
hubs that provide their own power provide 500 mA. If necessary, check the technical
specifications of your computer or hub to make sure. Hubs that are themselves supplied
with power by the bus cable provide a maximum of 100 mA per port, and therefore are
not suitable for supplying power to the PHASE 26 USB System (such as, for example, the
USB port on a Macintosh keyboard). In this case, you can use a common 9-Volt DC
power adapter that can supply a direct current of 300 mA to power the PHASE 26 USB
System (to be purchased separately). You may want to use an external power adapter
anyway, for example to save your laptop battery.
Plug in the USB cable.
Now connect the PHASE module to the USB port of your computer and wait a few
seconds.
The PHASE 26 USB System is now ready for use in your audio and MIDI applications.

Updating the firmware (MAC OS X).

Thanks to the advanced software technology: Future changes to existing standards and
new functions developed for the PHASE 26 USB System can be integrated simply by
updating the device's "firmware", without having to replace or change any hardware. To
update the firmware, follow these steps:
■ Copy the "PHASE 26 USB Flasher.app.sit" file from the product CD
(<C>:\ PHASE 26 USB\Driver\Mac\OSX\FlashUpdater\) to the Desktop.
Install the "Flasher" by double-clicking the file. The "PHASE 26 USB Flasher" program
installs and places a link on the Desktop. Start the Flasher.
■ Now unplug the USB connection from the PHASE 26 USB. Press the "Mode" and
"Input" buttons on the PHASE 26 USB module at the same time while you plug the
USB cable back in.
■ The hardware now registers as a "PHASE 26 Firmware Update" device and the USB
Flasher indicates "Device connected".
■ If you want to, you can save and archive the old firmware version by clicking "save old
firmware".
■ Use "load" to load the firmware (for example from the CD:
<CD>:\PHASE 26 USB\Driver\Mac\OSX\PHASE26USB_MAC_X.XX.BIN) into the
Flasher application.
■ Start the update by selecting "Update firmware". You can view the progress of the
update in the status window.
■ When done, unplug the USB cable again and then plug it back in a few seconds later.
The PHASE 26 USB System is again available for your use.
