Installation Procedures
2.3 Macintosh OS X
2.3.1 OS X Installation Files
The Lynx Installation CD contains all firmware and driver files mentioned in the subsequent installation
steps, as well as the AES16 mixer, manual, driver release notes and test files. If you do not have a
CDROM drive or need a more recent version, these files are available on our website at
http://www.lynxstudio.com.
2.3.2 Firmware Update
For Macintosh compatibility, the firmware stored in the on-board flash memory must be updated prior to
use. This is required because the AES16 ships from the factory with Windows firmware installed. To
update the firmware:
1. Locate the file L2Update_OSX.sit on the Lynx Installation CD and drag the file onto the computer
desktop, or download the latest OS X firmware file from
http://www.lynxstudio.com/download.html to the computer desktop.
2. Double-click on the L2Update_OSX.sit file to launch the Stuffit Expander. If a simple double-
click does not launch the Stuffit Expander, you may need to launch Stuffit Expander manually,
and then open the L2Update_OSX.sit file using the Open command in the File menu. Drag the
L2Update.app file to the desktop, which will decompress the firmware updater, and then close
Stuffit Expander. An L2Update program icon should now be on your desktop.
3. Make sure that no applications are open before running the firmware updater.
4. Run L2Update by double clicking on the L2Update program icon.
5. Enter your password in the Authenticate dialog box and click OK.
