Associating Components To A Group; Channel Mapping For Devices In A Group - Shure Microflex Quick Start Manual

Associating Components to a Group

The following instructions are for forming an MXW Group. If a device is not available from drop-down window, make sure it is "open" and on the network.
Tip: Use the button to identify a device. This sends a signal to the device to flash its LEDs for easy identification.
ID
1. Open a Configuration
Use the Shure Web Discovery application to view all MXW Access Point
Transceivers (APTs) on the network. Double-click on an APT to open the
software, and go to the Configuration tab.
2. Select an Access Point Transceiver (APT) for Group 1
Select an open APT from the drop-down display. This selection determines
whether the Group has four or eight channels (APT4 or APT8).
Note: Group 1 must include the APT that was used to open the control
software. Other networked (and open) APTs are then available for
additional groups.
3. Select the Network Charging Station(s)
Associate one or two Network Charging Station (NCS) to the access point.
There are two reasons for associating more than one charger:
• When using two four-channel chargers for an eight-channel access
point.
• When using gooseneck microphones. Gooseneck mics cover the front
and back slots of a charger, halving the number of slots available. For
example, two eight-channel chargers are required to fill an eight-channel
access point with gooseneck microphones.

Channel Mapping for Devices in a Group

Audio is routed from the microphones to the analog outputs according to the Group setup in the Configuration tab. The following diagram displays channel
mapping for devices in eight- and four-channel Groups.

An additional charging station is required when filling a Group with
gooseneck microphones

4. Select the Audio Output Device(s)
Select one or two audio output devices (MXWANI or SCM820) to
automatically route the digital audio channels from the access point. Select
from the following devices:
• Audio Network Interface (MXWANI) four- or eight-channel variation. Two
four-channel units or one eight-channel unit can be assigned to an eight-
channel APT.
• Shure SCM820 IntelliMix
selected as the audio output for the Group. This automatically routes
the SCM820's aux input to the microphones for personal monitoring
(SCM820 aux left channel to MXW channels 1 - 4; aux right channel to
MXW channels 5 - 8).
Note: Device associations and microphone Link data are persistently stored
in the device. If the MXW system is shut off and then restarted without a
computer, the devices will remain associated to the access point.
