Accessing the MXW Control Software

The MXW system uses a device-hosted control software
that enables comprehensive remote control of key setup,
monitoring and management functions. The software is
accessible from any PC or Mac on the network, and opens
in a web-browser using Adobe
There are two different control interfaces for the MXW
system:
• MXW System control software: Accessed from the
Access Point Transceiver and used for managing the
MXW system.
• Audio Network Interface control software: Accessed from
the Audio Network Interface and used for managing that
device only.
Follow these steps for accessing MXW control software:
1. Install the Shure Web Device Discovery application.
Download the Shure Web Device Discovery Application
from www.shure.com or from the USB stick supplied with
the MXW Access Point Transceiver. (The required Bonjour
device discovery tool is bundled with the application and will
install automatically.)
2. Ensure the computer is on the MXW network.
The computer accesses the control software from an
embedded web server on the device. All networked devices
must be connected to the same network (set to the same
subnet).
3. Turn off WiFi
Turn off the PC's WiFi to force the wired network interface.
4. Launch the Shure Web Device Discovery application.
Open the application to view all Shure devices on the
network that feature an embedded server for control
software (MXWAPT, MXWANI and SCM820). Use
the Identify button to flash a device's LEDs for easy
identification.
