Networking Receivers - Shure ULXD Quick Start Instructions

ULXD ULX-D Digital Wireless Microphone System
Creating a System Preset
System Presets allow a current receiver setup to be saved and restored.
Presets store all receiver settings to provide a quick way to configure a re-
ceiver or switch between several different setups. Up to 4 presets can be
stored in receiver memory.
RF
Transmitter RF Power
Reference the following table for setting RF Power:
RF Power Setting System Range
1 mW 33 m (100 ft.)
10 mW 100 m (330 ft.)
20 mW >100 m (330 ft.)
Note: Using the 20 mW setting decreases the transmitter battery runtime
and reduces the number of compatible systems.
Interference Detection
Interference Detection monitors the RF environment for potential sources of
interference which can cause audio dropouts.
When interference is identified, the RF LEDs illuminate red and the following
warning displays on the receiver LCD panel.
If the warning display persists or the audio drops out repeatedly, perform a
Scan and Sync at the first opportunity to find a clear frequency.

Networking Receivers

The receiver uses an Ethernet connection to network with other components.
For automatic network configuration, use a DHCP enabled Ethernet switch
such as the Shure AXT620. Use multiple Ethernet switches to extend the
network for larger installations.
Note: Note use only one DHCP server per network.
Automatic IP Addressing
Set the IP Mode to Automatic for all receivers: DEVICE UTILITIES>NET-
WORK>CTRL NETWORK
18/29
Application
For increased channel reuse
at close distances
Typical setups
For hostile RF environments
or long-distance applications
To save the current receiver setup as a new preset: DEVICE UTILITIES>SYS-
TEM RESET>SAVE>CREATE NEW PRESET
Use the control wheel to name the preset, and then press Enter to save.
To recall a saved preset: DEVICE UTILITIES>SYSTEM RESET>RESTORE
Use the control wheel to select the preset name, and then press Enter.
Advanced RF
RF Mute
Use this to turn on a transmitter without interfering with the RF spectrum.
Press and hold the exit button during power-on until RF MUTED is displayed.
To un-mute, restart the transmitter.
Custom Groups
Use this feature to create up to six groups of manually selected frequencies
that can be exported to networked receivers to simplify system setup.
To create a custom group: UTILITES>ADVANCED RF>CUSTOM GROUPS
Note: Use Wireless Workbench or Wireless Frequency Finder to select the
best compatible frequencies. See www.shure.com for more information.
To export a custom group:
1. Go to UTILITES>ADVANCED RF>CUSTOM GROUPS>EXPORT. The
following screen will display.
2. Press the flashing ENTER button to export all custom groups to all re-
ceivers on the network.
Antenna Bias
Antenna ports A and B provide a DC bias to power active antennas. Set the
DC power to off when using passive (non-powered) antennas.
To turn bias off: DEVICE UTILITIES>ADVANCED RF>ANTENNA BIAS>OFF
Manual IP Addressing
1. Connect the receivers to an Ethernet switch.
2. Set the IP Mode to Manual for all devices (DEVICE UTILITIES>NET-
WORK>CTRL NETWORK)
3. Set valid IP addresses for all devices.
4. Set the subnet mask to the same value for all devices.
Troubleshooting
• Use only one DHCP server per network
