Updating the Teranex Processor Software
Step 1. Connect the Teranex Processor via USB to your computer. The switcher chassis is equipped with
a mini-USB 2.0 port which can be connected to your computer's USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port using a
USB cable. When upgrading software, make sure there is only one Teranex Processor connected
via USB to the computer running the Teranex Utility software.
Step 2. Launch the Teranex Utility software.
Step 3. If the Teranex Processor software requires updating, you will be prompted by a window asking
if you would like to update the software. Select Update Now to initiate the update process.
The update process may take a few minutes. Do not unplug power from the Teranex Processor
during the software update.
Step 4. Once the software update is complete, the Teranex Processor will automatically restart to enable
the new software.

made DVD's.
