to access the configuration pages, Cube can also be reset by holding the „Go Live!‟ button
on the back of Cube; see Button Operation, page 7, for more information.
3.3. System Time – The System time page allows you to set Cube‟s system time. Cube‟s system
time can be set manually (Reference mode: Manual), or using NTP (Network Time Protocol). If
NTP is selected, a valid NTP server must be present for the system time to update. The NTP
server can be selected in the „Server Address‟ field. If Cube has an internet connection a public
NTP server (such as the default, pool.ntp.org) can be used.

improvements can be found at Teradek‟s Cube forum, located at

contains both the firmware image binary „.bin‟ and current release notes in PDF format.

available, a message is displayed in the top right corner of the web UI.
Clicking the message will open a prompt to walk you through the upgrade process.
3.4.3. To upgrade manually, download and extract the firmware image files. Next, navigate to the
Firmware Upgrade page and click „Browse‟/‟Choose File‟ and select the „.bin‟ firmware
