Encryption
Audio is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard ( AES -256), as specified by the US Government National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) publication FIPS-197. Shure devices that support encryption require a passphrase to make a connection. Encryption is not supported with third-party
devices.
To activate encryption:
1. Open the Settings menu and select the General tab.
2. Select the Enable Encryption checkbox.
3. Enter a passphrase. All devices must use the same passphrase to establish an encrypted connection.
Important:
For encryption to work:
•
Encryption must be universally enabled or disabled on all connected Shure devices
•
AES67 must be disabled in Dante Controller to turn encryption on or off. AES67 encryption is currently not supported.
Software Installation, Management, and Security
Software Installation and Device Discovery
The Shure Web Device Discovery application is used to access the
web application
for a Shure device. The
web application
opens in a web browser to provide
comprehensive device management. Any computer networked to the device can access the GUI with this application.
Compatible Browsers:
•
Chrome
•
Safari
•
Firefox
•
Internet Explorer
1. Install the Shure device discovery application, available at www.shure.com
2. Double-click the component to open the interface.
Accessing the
Web Application
The Shure Web Server Discovery application finds all Shure devices on the network that feature a web-based GUI. Follow these steps to install the software
and access the
web application
:
① Install the Shure Discovery application
Download and install the Shure Discovery application from www.shure.com. This automatically installs the required Bonjour device discovery tool on the com-
puter.
② Connect the network
Ensure the computer and the hardware are on the same network.
③ Launch the Discovery application
The app displays all Shure devices that feature a GUI.
④ Identify the hardware
Double-click on a device to open its GUI in a web browser.
⑤ Bookmark the device's
web application
(recommended)
Bookmark the device's DNS name to access the GUI without the Shure Discovery app.
Accessing the
Web Application
without the Discovery App
If the Discovery application is not installed, the
web application
can be accessed by typing the DNS name into an internet browser. The DNS name is derived
from model of the unit, in combination with the last three bytes (six digits) of the MAC address, and ending in
.local
.
Format Example: If the MAC address of a unit is 00:0E:DD:AA:BB:CC, then the link is written as follows:

Firmware Updates
Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are developed to incorporate additional
features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, new versions of the firmware can be uploaded and installed using the Shure Update
Utility. Software is available for download from http://www.shure.com.
