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 via USB
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 original basic panel 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
