Operating the Control Software over Wi-Fi
When operating the web application over WiFi, it's important to set up the wireless router properly for best perfor
mance. The system employs several standard-based protocols that rely on multicast. Wi-Fi treats broadcast and
multicast packets differently than general packets for backward compatibility reasons. In some cases, the Wi-Fi
router will limit the multicast packet transmission rate to a value that is too slow for web application to properly op
erate.
Wi-Fi routers typically support 802.11b, 802.11a/g, and/or 802.11n standards. By default, many Wi-Fi routers are
configured to allow older 802.11b devices to operate over the network. In this configuration, these routers will auto
matically limit the multicast data rates (or sometimes referred to as 'basic rate', or 'management rate') to 12Mbps.
Note: A Wi-Fi connection can only be used for the control software. Network audio cannot be transmitted over Wi-
Fi.
Tip: For larger wireless microphone configurations, it's recommended to increase the multicast transmission rate
to provide adequate bandwidth.
Important: For best performance, use a Wi-Fi router that does not limit the multicast rate to 1-2 Mbps.
Shure recommends the following Wi-Fi router brands:
• Cisco
• Linksys
• Apple
Packet Bridge
Packet bridge enables an external controller to obtain IP information from the control interface of a Shure device.
To access the packet bridge, an external controller must send a query packet over unicast UDP* to port 2203 on
the Dante interface of the Shure device.
1. Send a UDP packet with a minimum 1-byte payload .
Note: The maximum accepted payload 140 bytes. Any content is allowed.
2. The Shure device will send a response packet over unicast UDP to the controller, using a destination UDP port
identical to the source port of the query packet. The payload of the response packet follows this format:
