These protocols require multicast. Ensure multicast has been correctly configured for your network.
Packet Bridge
Packet bridge enables an external controller to obtain IP information from the control interface of a Shure device. To access the
packet bridge, an external controller must send a query packet over unicast UDP* to port 2203 on the Dante interface of the
Shure device.
1.
Send a UDP packet with a minimum 1-byte payload .
Note: The maximum accepted payload 140 bytes. Any content is allowed.
2.
The Shure device will send a response packet over unicast UDP to the controller, using a destination UDP port identical
to the source port of the query packet. The payload of the response packet follows this format:
Bytes
0-3
4-7
8-13
Note: The Shure device should respond in less than one second on a typical network. If there is no response, try sending the query again after verify
ing the destination IP address and port number.
*UDP: User Datagram Protocol
Software
MXW System Control Software
The MXW control software allows comprehensive system control and monitoring from a computer. It is hosted from an embed
ded server in the MXW Access Point, and is accessible when properly networked to a computer. All hardware functions can be
adjusted using this software interface.
Devices List
The MXW Control Software opens by default to the Devices list.
