Device Availability
When setting up a group or managing devices, it is important to understand the difference between open and associated de
vices.
Open Device
A device that is not associated to a group is considered 'open.' Open devices are available
for association by selecting the drop-down window in a Group row. The device will show
Open in the Group column of the Utility page.
Associated Device
A device is considered 'associated' once it has been selected in a group row. Each device
can only belong to one group at a time (and therefore one Configuration). Once a device has
been associated to a group, it is managed on the Configuration tab can be viewed in detail
on the Utility tab. The device will show its group number in the Group column of the Utility
page.
A device can be unassociated by selecting 'none' in the group row drop-down to clear it from the group. The device is then
open and available for association to another group.
Tip: Performing a factory reset will default the device to open.

Automatic Group Setup
An MXW Group can be associated without use of the control software when a network is comprised of only one Access Point
Transceiver (APT), one Networked Charging Station (NCS) and one Audio Network Interface (ANI). For best results, perform a
factory default on the devices to clear any previous Group associations.
Connect one APT, one NCS and one ANI to the network. The network must only contain one of each device.
