ShowLink Test

The ShowLink Test is a tool to find the boundaries of the ShowLink coverage area. When the ShowLink test is activated, a five-
bar display indicating the link quality is shown on the screen. As the transmitter moves away from the access point, the number
of bars will decrease. ShowLink control is maintained as long as 1 bar is displayed.
If the transmitter is beyond the coverage range, ShowLink control will not be possible. However, the audio signal will not be af­
fected or interrupted as long as the transmitter is within range of the RF signal.
To improve coverage, adjust the location of your access points or place additional access points to extend coverage.
To activate the ShowLink Test:
1.
From the Utilities menu, navigate to SL Test.
2.
Press the O button to start the test and walk the transmitter around the coverage area. Monitor the number of bars dis­
played and the state of the ShowLink icon. Coverage boundaries are indicated by 0 bars displayed or the ShowLink
icon is empty.
3.
Press the X button to exit the ShowLink test.
Tip: During a ShowLink test, press O (enter) to drop a marker in Wireless Workbench.

Updating Firmware

Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are devel­
oped to incorporate additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, you can upload and in­
stall new versions of the firmware by using the Shure Update Utility. The Shure Update Utility is available for download from
http://www.shure.com/.

Firmware Versioning

When performing an update, first download firmware to the receiver, and then update transmitters to the same firmware version
to ensure consistent operation.
The firmware numbering for Shure devices uses the following format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.14). At a minimum, all
devices on the network (including transmitters), must have the same MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers (e.g.,
1.2.x).
