Overview of Groups and Configurations

Groups of Components

Once all the MXW components are connected to the network, they can be associated into Groups. Each Access Point Transceiver (APT) can form a Group

with one or two chargers (for Linking microphones) and one or two audio output devices (for routing audio to analog outputs). The microphones can then be

placed in the charging station and Linked to these access point channels.

Each Group is managed by a single access point. Microphones are Linked to channels in the access point, not to the charger that was used to Link them.

This relationship persists until the microphones are re-Linked or the access point is reset.

Configurations: Managing Multiple Groups

Configurations allow multiple Groups to share the same preferences, global controls and log-ons. When an additional Group is added to the Configuration

tab, the new components will take on the preferences and global actions of that Configuration. For example, all microphones Linked to Groups in that

Configuration will mute when the global Mute All button is pressed.

For specialized applications, such as multiple room installation, separate Configurations can be created to independently control component Groups.

Configuration Master

When using a Configuration to manage multiple groups, the system dynamically assigns a particular Access Point as the "Configuration Master". All Access

Points in that Configuration use the Configuration Master Access Point as an entry point to the same control interface. This enables the coordination of

preferences and the synchronization of system operations across multiple devices.

When the Configuration Master Access Point is unplugged (or PoE is powered off), a new master is quickly re-established to maintain control of the

Configuration. If the Configuration Master is manually removed by deselecting the Access Point from the Group on the Configuration tab, there will be a pop-

up warning "Are You Sure?". If Yes is selected, the browser will close and a new Configuration Master is automatically selected. Use the Shure Discovery

Application to re-open the control interface from any remaining MXW Access Point.
