There are two different control interfaces for MXW devices:

MXW system (hosted in APT):

For comprehensive control of key setup, monitoring and management functions for the

MXW system. Accessed from the Access Point Transceiver (APT).

Audio Inputs and Outputs (hosted in ANI):

For sending audio channels on and off the Dante network. Accessed from the

Audio Network Interface (ANI).

Get the Shure Web Device Discovery application.

Get the Shure Web Device Discovery Application to see devices on the network and open the control interface. Down

load the software from www.shure.com/software (includes Bonjour device discovery tool).

Connect the computer to the MXW network.

The computer accesses the control software from an embedded web server on the device. All networked devices must

be connected to the same network (set to the same subnet).

Turn off WiFi (recommended)

For best results, turn off the PC's WiFi to force the wired network interface.

Open the Shure Web Device Discovery application.

Open the application to view Shure devices on the network that use an embedded server for control software, such as

the APT. You can use the Identify button to flash a device's LEDs for easy identification.

Open the MXW Control Software

Double-click on any APT to open the MXW System control software. The application can be set to open by IP address

or DNS name (selectable from the Preferences drop-down).

Enter Default Password

Enter the default password 'admin' to access the control software.

Bookmark the Webpage (recommended)

Bookmark the IP address of the device when it is set to a Static IP address. Bookmark the device's DNS name when

the IP mode is set to Automatic (DHCP).

Operating System Requirements

To operate the control software, the computer must meet the following requirements:

Windows: Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7

Apple: Mac OSX 10.6 and higher (Intel Core 2 Duo processor and later)

Latest version of AdobeFlash Player

System Set Up

Group Devices to Form Audio Channels

Use the group configuration to form the audio channel between the microphone, the access point (APT), charger and audio

output device. The audio channel establishes the audio routing, RF coordination, and data control for a set of devices. Groups

are comprised of networked devices (set to the same subnet). A component can belong to one group at a time.
