Setting the Density Mode
Set the mode for each APT from the device properties:
1. Go to MXW control software>Utility tab>[Find the desired APT]>Edit
2. Choose a density mode:
⁃ Standard (default)
⁃ High
3. Select Add updates to exit the device properties.
4. Select Apply All from the Utility page to push to your devices.

Configurations: Managing Multiple Groups

Configurations allow multiple Groups to share the same preferences, global controls and log-ons. When an additional Group is added to the Configuration tab,
the new components will take on the preferences and global actions of that Configuration. For example, all microphones Linked to Groups in that Configuration
will mute when the global Mute All button is pressed.
For specialized applications, such as multiple room installation, separate Configurations can be created to independently control component Groups.
Configuration Master
When using a Configuration to manage multiple groups, the system dynamically assigns a particular Access Point as the "Configuration Master". All Access
Points in that Configuration use the Configuration Master Access Point as an entry point to the same control interface. This enables the coordination of preferences
and the synchronization of system operations across multiple devices.
When the Configuration Master Access Point is unplugged (or PoE is powered off), a new master is quickly re-established to maintain control of the Configuration.
If the Configuration Master is manually removed by deselecting the Access Point from the Group on the Configuration tab, there will be a pop-up warning "Are
You Sure?". If Yes is selected, the browser will close and a new Configuration Master is automatically selected. Use the Shure Discovery Application to re-open
the control interface from any remaining MXW Access Point.
Creating Separate Configurations
For installations that spread across multiple rooms, a different set of preferences and global controls may be required for a given space. Do this by setting up
a separate Configuration:
1. Open the Shure Web Device Discovery Application.
2. Select the Access Point that will be used for the new Configuration and open its control software. The APT must be open (not already assigned to a group)
in order to start a new configuration.
3. Go to the Configuration tab.
4. Select that Access Point from the drop down list in Row 1. Use the ID button to ensure the correct Access Point is selected.
5. Select the charging station(s) and output device(s) to complete the Group.
6. Repeat 4-5 for up to 10 Groups in the Configuration.
7. Enable the Lock Configuration to improve network performance.
8. Customize the Configuration as desired from the Preferences tab.
Note: Ensure that all APTs are connected to the same network and set to the same subnet, even if they are assigned to a separate Configuration. This ensures
the best system performance, highest channel count, and tightest digital audio clocking for the installation.
Locking the Configuration
Use the Lock Configuration feature to improve network performance and system stability. It is best practice to lock a configuration after setup to greatly reduce
network traffic from MXW equipment. When systems exceed 15 APTs on the same network, configuration locking is required for stable performance.
When locked, groups in that configuration are not editable.
