Firmware Updates

Firmware is embedded software in each component
that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions
of firmware are developed to incorporate additional
features and enhancements. To take advantage of design
improvements, new versions of the firmware can be
uploaded and installed using the Shure Update Utility.
Download the software from www.shure.com.
Perform the following steps to update the firmware:
CAUTION! Ensure the device has a stable network
connection during the update. Do not turn off the
device until the update is complete.
1. Connect the device and computer to the same network
(set to the same subnet).
Firmware Release Requirements
Microflex Wireless devices comprise a network with multiple
communications protocols that work together to ensure
proper operation. The recommended best practice is that
all MXW devices are on an identical release. To view the
firmware of each MXW device on the network, open the
Utility page of the MXW control software.
The format for Shure device's firmware is MAJOR.MINOR.
PATCH. (Ex. 1.6.2 where 1 is the Major firmware level, 6 is
the Minor firmware level, and 2 is the Patch firmware level.)
At minimum, devices that operate on the same subnet
should have identical MAJOR and MINOR release
numbers.
