Dante Controller

Dante Controller (DC) is free software by Audinate that is used to configure and manage a network of Dante devices. Use it to

route channels between Dante-enabled devices and to monitor the status of the device, clock, and network.

Important:

The MXWAPT must be the Dante clock master for the network. Do not change the clock master from the MXWAPT

(default selection) to another device.

Note:

DC software is not required for routing audio within the MXW system. Use caution when using DC, as changing settings may interfere with MXW system

functionality.

Dante Virtual Soundcard

Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) acts as an audio driver used to monitor and record digital audio without additional equipment.

DVS uses a computer's standard Ethernet ports to transmit and receive up to 64 channels from any Dante enabled device on

the same network.

Firmware Updates

Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are devel

oped 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. Download the software from www.shure.com.

Perform the following steps to update the firmware:

CAUTION!

Ensure the device has a stable network connection during the update. Do not turn off the device until the update is complete.

Connect the device and computer to the same network (set to the same subnet).

To update MXW transmitters, place them in the MXW Networked Charging Station that is connected to the same

network.

If the MXW Audio Network Interface is connected via Port 4, ensure that the Network mode is set to Switched mode

(default) from the Preferences tab of the ANI control software.

Open the Shure Update Utility application.

Click

button to view new firmware versions available for download.

Select the desired firmware and press

Download

to download it to the Firmware Library.

From the

Update Devices

tab, select the new firmware and press

Send Updates...

to begin the firmware update, which

overwrites the existing firmware on the device.

Firmware Release Requirements

Microflex Wireless devices comprise a network with multiple communications protocols that work together to ensure proper op

eration. The recommended best practice is that all MXW devices are on an identical release. To view the firmware of each

MXW device on the network, open the Utility page of the MXW control software.

The format for Shure device’s firmware is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. (Ex. 1.6.2 where 1 is the Major firmware level, 6 is the Mi

nor firmware level, and 2 is the Patch firmware level.) At minimum,

devices that operate on the same subnet should have

identical MAJOR and MINOR release numbers.

Troubleshooting
