Wireless Management Overview of Channel Coordination The MXW system operates using time division multiple access (TDMA) to carry MXW channels (audio and control data) within defined RF spectrum.
  • Page 56: Scanning Available Rf Spectrum

    Shure Incorporated Density Mode Band Region Standard (SD) High (HD) Taiwan Scanning Available RF Spectrum The MXW Wireless components operate in unlicensed spectrum that is shared with other wireless devices operating in the same area, such as cordless phones, walkie-talkies and intercoms. The MXW control software features a scanning tool that surveys the RF spectrum for these devices.
  • Page 57: Phs Detection

    Shure Incorporated Displays the percentage of available spectrum Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) The scanner analyzes the spectrum and divides the data into three categories: No/Low (Green) Clean RF available for MXW system. Moderate (Yellow) Some moderate interference is detected, still usable by the MXW system.
  • Page 58: Identifying Phs Detection Errors

    Shure Incorporated Excluding PHS Bands To operate in the JDECT spectrum without worrying about PHS interruption, set the MXW access point (APT) to exclude PHS channels. This reduces the number of MXW channels available, but ensures that microphones will never be overridden in the event of PHS detection.
  • Page 59: Setting Rf Power

    Shure Incorporated Caution: Audio is temporarily interrupted during spectrum scan. Do not initiate a scan during a live meeting. Running Spectrum Scans Dock all microphones in chargers to decrease MXW affect on the RF spectrum. Open the Web Discover application and view all APTs on the network.
