The docking station provides power to charge transmitter batteries:
15 minutes = 1 hour of use
1 hour = 50% charged
3 hours = 100% charged
Note:
If the docking station loses power, transmitters will also power off. Batteries will resume charging when power is restored.
Connecting Shure Devices to Wireless Workbench
Wireless Workbench lets you control and monitor devices over the network. To get started, visit
download Wireless Workbench software. Wireless Workbench communicates with connected devices over a standard Ethernet
network.
Required equipment:
Shure device, computer with Wireless Workbench installed, Cat 5 (or better) Ethernet cable, and router
or network switch
Connect the device to your computer with a shielded Cat 5 (or better) Ethernet cable to ensure reliable network perfor
mance. If you have multiple devices to manage, connect each device to a router or network switch. The Ethernet port
LEDs on your device will illuminate to indicate network connectivity. Verify that Shure devices can see each other by
looking for the network connectivity icon on the front panel (location varies).
For most applications, use the Automatic mode (default) to let your switch or router assign an IP address using DHCP
addressing. If no DHCP server is present, your devices will fall back to a link-local address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx
range. If you need to assign specific IP addresses, set the IP mode to Manual in the Network menu.
Open Wireless Workbench software.
Select a Network Interface in the pop-up window. Choose the network that most closely matches the Ethernet port
where your devices are connected.
Your device will appear in the Inventory tab when the connection is successful.
Configuration Tips
Check your firewall settings to make sure Wireless Workbench has access to your network
Use multiple Ethernet switches to extend the network for larger installations
