For specialized applications, such as multiple room installation, separate Configurations can be created to independently con
trol component Groups.
Primary Access Point
When using a Configuration to manage multiple groups, the system dynamically assigns a Primary Access Point. All Access
Points in that Configuration use the Primary Access Point as an entry point to the same control interface. This enables the co
ordination of preferences and the synchronization of system operations across multiple devices.
When the Primary Access Point is unplugged (or PoE is powered off), a new APT is quickly re-established to maintain control
of the Configuration. If the Primary Access Point is manually removed by deselecting the APT from the Group on the Configura
tion tab, there will be a pop-up warning "Are You Sure?". If Yes is selected, the browser will close and a new Primary Access
Point is automatically selected.
Creating Separate Configurations
For installations that spread across multiple rooms, a different set of preferences and global controls may be required for a giv
en space. Do this by setting up a separate Configuration:
1.
Open the Shure Microflex Wireless control software.
2.
Double-click the Access Point that will be used for the new Configuration. 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 se
lected.
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.
7.
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 en
sures the best system performance, highest channel count, and tightest digital audio clocking for the installation.
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. Channels are automatically assigned to the time-slots by the access point, which manages the spectrum
and seamlessly changes slots if interference is detected. The MXW system makes this adjustment automatically and without
audio artifacts.
Maximum Channel Count
The following table shows the maximum MXW channel count available in each region. Use the spectrum scanner to view how
many of these channels are available to you at your installation.
