Changing Network Settings
Accessing your Teranex Minis over a network is the easiest
way to manage multiple converters. You can do this using
Blackmagic Teranex Setup. By default, your Teranex Minis
are configured to automatically acquire a network address,
making it easy to immediately select them from the
Blackmagic Teranex Setup splash screen, as detailed in
the section 'changing settings using Blackmagic
Teranex Setup.'
If you are having trouble finding a Teranex Mini on your
network, or you have previously set it to use a static address
incompatible with your current network, you may need to
change its network settings locally. You can do this via
USB or the Teranex Mini Smart Panel.
Changing network settings using Blackmagic
Teranex Setup
To change network settings via USB, connect your Teranex
Mini to a computer running the Teranex setup utility with
a USB cable. You can find your Teranex Mini's USB
connector on its front panel, regardless of whether you are
using the basic fascia or the Smart Panel.
Once connected, select your Teranex Mini from the Teranex
setup utility splash screen, and navigate to the 'configure'
tab. Here you can toggle your converter between dynamic
and static network addresses. If you select a static IP, you
can manually configure your converter's IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway.
Use the 'configure' tab in Blackmagic Teranex
Setup to change network settings via USB
