Software Introduction
MXW System Graphical User Interface (GUI)
A graphical user interface (GUI) is software that allows comprehensive system control and monitoring from a computer. It is hosted from an embedded server
built into the APT, and is accessible when properly networked to a computer or 3rd party control device. All hardware functions can be adjusted using the GUI.
GUI Description
The following is a description of each tab of the GUI:
Monitor Tab
① APT Selection
Selects an APT for monitoring channel and RF spectrum information.
② Spectrum Meter
Displays the RF spectrum availability from a scan from the APT. See
Spectrum Scan section for more details.
③ Global Mic Control
Controls the status of all microphones linked to the APT.
④ Microphone Name
Microphone names can be customized with up to 31 any characters in
length except '=','.' or '@'.
⑤ Identify Button
When clicked, this commands the microphone to beep and its LED to
flash. Microphones must be removed from the charger for this function.
⑥ Battery Status
While charging:
Displays the remaining time until the microphone
battery is fully charged.
Not charging:
Displays the remaining battery runtime of the microphone.
⑦ RF Signal Strength
⑧ Audio Input Meter

⑨ Mic Gain
Adjusts microphone gain from -25 dB to +15 dB gain in 1 dB steps.
⑩ High Pass Filter
Engages a 6 dB-per-octave filter below 150 Hz for attenuating undesired
low frequencies, sometimes caused by table vibrations or air-conditioning
rumble.
⑪ Low Pass Filter
Engages a 6 dB-per-octave filter above 15 kHz for attenuating undesired
high frequencies, sometimes caused by sibilant vocals or paper rustling.
⑫ Microphone State
Microphones are in one of four states:
•
Active:
Microphone is on and passing audio to the network.
•
Mute:
Microphone is on but the signal is muted.
•
Standby:
Conserves battery charge and allows the GUI to change the
state to Active or Mute.
•
Off (Inactive):
The microphone is powered off. A microphone in this
state cannot be controlled by the GUI (it can only be turned on using
the power button on the mic).
⑬ Microphone Type
