Networking Best Practices - Shure IntelliMix P300 Safety Information Manual

Safety Information
Use MXA910 or MXA310 when using a Shure MicroflexAdvance Ceiling Array or Table Array microphone.
Important: Disable the low-shelf filter (MXA910), low-cut filter (MXA310), and all equalization on the microphones
for the best performance with mic optimization.
Use the Off setting when using a Shure Microflex Wireless system, or traditional wired microphones. If using wired
microphones, use the Shure ANI4IN Network Interface to bring the microphones onto the Dante network.
Using A Password
All settings are configurable by default. To protect settings with a password, open the Settings menu and select the
General tab. In this screen, passwords can be created or changed.
Once a password has been set, a Read-Only option appears on the log-in screen. In Read-Only mode, device pa­
rameters can be viewed, but not edited. Device identification remains active.
Encryption
Audio is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard ( AES ­256), as specified by the US Government Na­
tional Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication FIPS-197. Shure devices that support encryption
require a passphrase to make a connection. Encryption is not supported with third-party devices.
To activate encryption:
1. Open the Settings menu and select the General tab.
2. Select the Enable Encryption checkbox.
3. Enter a passphrase. All devices must use the same passphrase to establish an encrypted connection.
Important: For encryption to work:
• Encryption must be universally enabled or disabled on all connected Shure devices
• AES67 must be disabled in Dante Controller to turn encryption on or off. AES67 encryption is currently not sup­
ported.

Networking Best Practices

Use the following best practices when setting up a network to ensure reliable communication:
• Always use a "star" network topology by connecting each component directly to the switch or router.
• Connect all Shure networked devices to the same network and set to the same subnet. This applies to all de­
vices that audio signals must be routed between (managed through Dante Controller). It is also required in or­
der to open the web application for a device.
