Device Availability - Shure MXW Manual

MXW
1. Go to the Configuration Tab
Assign the devices to groups from the Configuration tab of the MXW control software.
2. Select the Access Point Transceiver (APT) for Group 1
Select an APT to determine group channel count (2, 4 or 8).
Group 1 automatically uses the APT opened from the Web Discovery application. Other networked (and open) APTs are available for additional groups.
3. Select the Network Charging Station(s)
Select one or two Network Charging Station (NCS) to the access point. An additional charger can be added to the group:
• When using multiple smaller chargers to fill the channel count of the group. For example, two 4-channel chargers for an 8-channel group.
• When using gooseneck microphones. Gooseneck mics cover the front and back slots of a charger, halving the number of slots available. For example, two
eight-channel chargers are required to fill an eight-channel access point with gooseneck microphones.
4. Select the Audio Output Device(s)
Select one or two audio output devices (MXWANI or SCM820) to automatically route the digital audio channels from the access point. Select from the following
devices:
• Audio Network Interface (MXWANI) four- or eight-channel variation.
• ®
Shure SCM820 IntelliMix Mixer. Dante-enabled SCM820s can be selected as the audio output for the Group. This automatically routes the SCM820's aux
input to the microphones for personal monitoring (SCM820 aux left channel to MXW channels 1 - 4; aux right channel to MXW channels 5 - 8).
Note: Component group and microphone link data are persistently stored in each device. If the MXW system is shut off and then restarted without a computer,
the devices will remain associated to the access point.

Device Availability

When setting up a group or managing devices, it is important to understand the difference between open and associated devices.
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.
