To activate encryption:

Click Enable Encryption.
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.
Networking
Networking Best Practices
Use the following best practices when setting up a network to ensure reliable communication:
Always use a "star" network topology by connecting each component directly to the switch or router.
Connect all Shure networked devices to the
same network
and set to the
same subnet
. This applies to all devices that
audio signals must be routed between (managed through Dante Controller). It is also required in order to open the web
application for a device.
Devices on separate networks require an audio processor or conferencing software to carry audio between them.
Use only 1 DHCP server per network. Disable DHCP addressing on additional servers.
Power on the switch and DHCP server prior to MXCW equipment.
To expand the network, use multiple Ethernet switches in a star topology.
All devices must be at the same firmware revision level.
Device IP Settings
Configure IP
Sets IP mode of the selected network interface:
Auto (DHCP):
For automatic assignment of IP addresses.
Manual (Static):
For Static IP addresses.
IP Settings
View and edit the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway for each network interface.
MAC Address
The network interface's unique identification.
Configuring IP Settings
IP configurations are managed through the web application
or the access point LCD screen. By default, they are set to Auto
matic (DHCP) mode. DHCP mode enables the devices to accept IP settings from a DHCP server, or automatically fall back to
Link-Local settings when no DHCP is available. IP addresses may also be manually set.
To configure the IP properties in the web application:
Open the web application.
Go to Settings and select Network.
Select Automatic or Manual. If Automatic is used, addresses will be automatically assigned. See
Manually Assigning
Static IP Address
for Manual setup.
