Shure AXT600 Manual

General Description
The Axient Spectrum Manager is a powerful tool for calculating, analyzing
and assigning compatible frequencies to wireless components. The Spectrum
Manager scans the RF environment and uses this data to calculate compat-
ible frequencies for all wireless channels found on the network. Networked
wireless systems can be programmed from the Compatible Frequency List,
while backup frequencies are continuously monitored and ranked according
to quality. During operation, the Spectrum Manager deploys clear frequencies
to receivers when interference occurs. Built-in spectrum monitoring tools
provide visual and audio tracking of RF activity.
Features
Wideband Scanning
The Spectrum Manager captures scan data for the entire UHF frequency
range available for wireless audio. The scan is compiled using two antenna
inputs, with sensitivity and resolution that are directly applicable to wireless
receivers.
Compatible Frequency List
The Compatible Frequency List (CFL) is list of available frequencies that can
be calculated, viewed, and edited from the Spectrum Manager or it can be
generated from a computer running Wireless Workbench 6. The on-board
frequency calculator can be adjusted to avoid specific TV channels, frequency
ranges or RF signal above a specified threshold. During operation the
Spectrum Manager provides current status of each frequency in the list. Clear
frequencies are deployed from the compatible frequency list to initially setup
a system or to replace frequencies degraded by interference.
Event Log
The Event Log records actions of the Spectrum Manager during operation.
Actions include changes to frequencies and equipment controlled by the

Spectrum Manager. Reviewing the event log after a performance provides
a snapshot of system performance.
Backup Frequency Monitoring
The data screen tracks the status of all frequencies available for Axient sys-
tems. The number of frequencies is displayed for each band, including real-
time status of in-use and backup frequencies.
RF Scanning
The scanning feature of the Spectrum Manager graphically plots the measured
RF signal across the full frequency range. Cursor, Zoom, and Peak tools allow
detailed inspection of the data.
Listen
Use the Listen feature to tune to a frequency and monitor FM demodulated
signal using headphones. The data screen displays the signal strength for
the selected frequency.
Networking
Networking enables many of the advanced features of the Axient system,
including monitoring and control of remote devices. Rack components have
two RJ45 Ethernet ports capable of 10/100 Mbps network speeds. The Eth-
ernet ports are power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled to supply power to the
ShowLink™ access point or other class 1 Ethernet devices.
RF Cascade Ports
The cascade ports allow sharing of RF signal with up to 5 components without
antenna splitters or distribution amplifiers.
