Installation
Accessing the MXW Control Software
The MXW system uses a device-hosted control software that enables comprehensive remote control of key setup, monitoring and management functions.
The software is accessible from any PC or Mac on the network, and opens in a web-browser using Adobe
®
Flash
®
.
There are two different control interfaces for the MXW system:
• MXW System control software: Accessed from the Access Point Transceiver and used for managing the MXW system.
• Audio Network Interface control software: Accessed from the Audio Network Interface and used for managing that device only.
Follow these steps for accessing MXW control software:
1. Install the Shure Web Device Discovery application.
Download the Shure Web Device Discovery Application from www.shure.com or from the USB stick supplied with the MXW Access Point Transceiver. (The
required Bonjour device discovery tool is bundled with the application and will install automatically.)
2. Ensure the computer is on 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).
3. Turn off WiFi
Turn off the PC's WiFi to force the wired network interface.
4. Launch the Shure Web Device Discovery application.
Open the application to view all Shure devices on the network that feature an embedded server for control software (MXWAPT, MXWANI and SCM820). Use
the Identify button to flash a device's LEDs for easy identification.
5. Open the MXW Control Software
Double-click on any Access Point Transceiver to open the MXW System control software. Double click on an Audio Network Interface to open that device's
software interface. The application can open the Control Software by IP address or DNS name (selectable from the Preferences drop-down).
6. Enter Default Password
Enter the default password 'admin' to access the control software.
7. 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).
