Installing UA888 Software
To install the UA888 software on your computer, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the computer and the UA888 Interface Module on.
CAUTION: Leave the UA888 Interface Module turned on while it is physically connected to the receivers.
Turning it off while the receivers are connected can affect receiver metering. However, it will not affect
receiver performance.
2. Insert the supplied 3.5 inch diskette into the floppy drive on the computer.
3. If you are using Windows 3.11, click on the "File" heading on the main menu, then click on "Run."
If you are using Windows 95 or Windows NT, click on the "Start" button at the bottom of the window and
select "Run."
4. In the "Run" window, type "a:\setup" where "a" is the drive containing the UA888 diskette. The software will
check the computer hardware to ensure that a coprocessor is present and suggest a destination for the
UA888 files on the hard disk. It will also prompt you to type in your name and organizational information.
NOTE: Please register your software by completing and mailing the enclosed registration card. You may
also register on line via the Shure web site at http://www.shure.com.
Linking Multiple UA888 Interface Modules
A maximum of 32 Shure UHF receivers (up to 64 channels) can be monitored and controlled from a single
computer by linking multiple UA888 Interface Modules and their associated receivers as follows:
NOTE: Legal and practical rf considerations may limit the actual number of channels used to less than 64.
1. Assign each Interface Module a Device Identification Number (0–3) by sliding the DIP switches on the
rear panel up or down, as shown in Figure 5.

NOTE: The UA888 must be turned off, then turned back on, for the DIP switch settings to take effect.
2. Using the supplied 5-pin DIN cable, connect the Shure Link OUT port of the first UA888 (the one con-
nected directly to the computer) to the Shure Link IN port of the second UA888. See Figure 6.
3. Connect the Shure Link OUT port of the second UA888 to the Shure Link IN port of the third UA888.
4. Connect the Shure Link OUT on the last UA888 to the Shure Link IN on the first UA888. This creates a
communication loop between all networked UA888 Interface Modules and the computer.
NOTE: Although standard MIDI cable can be used, Shure Link is not MIDI compatible.
