Configurations: Managing Multiple
Groups
Configurations allow multiple Groups to share the same
preferences, global controls and log-ons. When an
additional Group is added to the Configuration tab, the new
components will take on the preferences and global actions
of that Configuration. For example, all microphones Linked
to Groups in that Configuration will mute when the global
Mute All button is pressed.

Configuration Master

When using a Configuration to manage multiple groups,
the system dynamically assigns a particular Access Point
as the "Configuration Master". All Access Points in that
Configuration use the Configuration Master Access Point as
an entry point to the same control interface. This enables
the coordination of preferences and the synchronization of
system operations across multiple devices.

Creating Separate Configurations

For installations that spread across multiple rooms, a
different set of preferences and global controls may be
required for a given space. Do this by setting up a separate
Configuration:
1. Open the Shure Web Device Discovery Application.
2. Select the Access Point that will be used for the new
Configuration and open its control software. The APT
must be open (not already assigned to a group) in order
to start a new configuration.
3. Go to the Configuration tab.
4. Select that Access Point from the drop down list in Row
1. Use the ID button to ensure the correct Access Point
is selected.
5. Select the charging station(s) and output device(s) to
complete the Group.
6. Repeat 4-5 for up to 10 Groups in the Configuration.

For specialized applications, such as multiple room
installation, separate Configurations can be created to
independently control component Groups.
When the Configuration Master Access Point is unplugged
(or PoE is powered off), a new master is quickly re-
established to maintain control of the Configuration. If the
Configuration Master is manually removed by deselecting
the Access Point from the Group on the Configuration tab,
there will be a pop-up warning "Are You Sure?". If Yes is
selected, the browser will close and a new Configuration
Master is automatically selected. Use the Shure Discovery
Application to re-open the control interface from any
remaining MXW Access Point.
7. Enable the Lock Configuration to improve network
performance.
8. Customize the Configuration as desired from the
Preferences tab.
Note: Ensure that all APTs are connected to the same
network and set to the same subnet, even if they are
assigned to a separate Configuration. This ensures
the best system performance, highest channel count,
and tightest digital audio clocking for the installation.
