General Description
The Shure Audio Network Interface converts 4 channels of Dante™ digital
audio into discrete analog signals. Connect to a processing device with
analog connections (audio processors, video codecs, and loudspeaker sys-
tems, for example) to fully integrate networked audio and analog equipment
in a single system. Available in XLR and block connector versions, each box
uses a single network cable to receive audio and power through Power over
Ethernet (PoE).

Page 7: Connections And Signal Flow
Setting up the Audio Network Shure networked conferencing systems are comprised of Microflex Advance microphones and network interfaces, which operate entirely on a Dante™ network. Additional hardware, including network switches, computers, loudspeakers, and audio processors are described in the hardware component index. - Page 8 This diagram shows the entire signal path through a networked conference system. Signals from the near end and far end are exchanged through an audio processor connected to a phone system, or through a computer connected to the internet. Analog microphones connect to the network through the Shure ANI4IN, while loudspeakers connect through the Shure ANI4OUT.
- Page 9 Expanded Control for Analog Devices Analog devices that are connected to the network through a Shure network interface (ANI4IN/ANI4OUT) benefit from additional remote control: Volume levels, equalization, and signal routing are managed through the web application. For example, adjusting loudspeaker volume or muting a wired microphone, which would normally be done from the hardware, can now be controlled remotely over the network.

Page 10: Using The Software
Software Installation and Device Discovery The Shure Web Device Discovery application is used to access the web application for a Shure device. The web application opens in a web browser to provide comprehensive device management. Any computer networked to the device can access the GUI with this application. -
Page 11: Firmware Updates
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 Minor 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. -
Page 12: Equalizer Applications
The event log provides a detailed account of activity from the moment the device is powered on. The log collects up to 1,000 activity entries and time-stamps them relative to the last power cycle. To troubleshoot audio or hardware problems, save the log using the export button. Refer to the log file for details when troubleshooting or consulting with Shure Systems Support. -

Page 18: Important Product Information
Each Shure device can connect with up to two Dante devices. The Shure MXA310 and ANI4IN support multicast transmission. This means that flows can transmit to multiple devices -- as many as the network can support. If using unicast flows, each Shure device can connect with up to two Dante receiver devices. - Page 19 Microflex Advance ANI4OUT Microflex Advance ANI4OUT Shure Incorporated Power Consumption 10W, maximum Weight 663 g (1.5 lbs) Dimensions H x W x D 4 x 14 x 12.8 cm (1.6 x 5.5 x 5.0 in.) control application HTML5 Browser-based Operating Temperature Range −6.7°C (20°F) to 40°C (104°F)
