Software & Firmware Archives

These release notes cover the following models:

• MXWNCS4/8 Networked Chargers
• MXWANI4/8 Audio Network Interfaces
• MXWAPT4/8 Access Point Transceivers
• MXW1/2/6/8 Wireless Microphones

IMPROVEMENTS

• Fixed an MXW Access Point Transceiver Bug related to a port scanning protocol that caused MXW devices to require a power cycle to return to normal operation.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Transmitters will fail to update when updated through a charger (MXWNCS) running a different firmware version than the transmitters. In order to properly update transmitters, follow these steps:
  1. Ensure that the charger’s firmware version matches the current transmitter firmware version. NOTE: This may require a firmware downgrade of the charger’s firmware, which can be performed using the Shure Update Utility.
  2. Update the firmware of the transmitters only (NOT the charger) to the latest available version.
  3. Update the firmware of the charger to the latest available version.

NOTES

• SCM820 is compatible with, but unaffected by 3.1

Improvements

• Added to support to set default gateway in Network Menu.
• Added Hardware Identify Feature. Users can now identify a P10T in Wireless Workbench 6 via holding the encoder button for 1 second from the root home screen.
• Minor bug fixes and performance enhancements

  • Axient AXT400 Receivers and AXT600 Spectrum Managers 1.15.3
  • Wireless Workbench 6 version 6.10.3

Important

• ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers running firmware prior to 1.4.8 must be updated to 1.4.8 before updating to newer versions.
• ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers running firmware between 1.4.8 and 2.0.28 must be updated to 2.0.28 before updating to newer versions.
• After 2.0.28 is installed, ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers can be updated to the latest available firmware version.
• ULX-D devices that are downgrading to 1.5.6 may report a false failure.
  • Workaround: Because this is a false failure, closing the send updates window and going to the main page, Shure Update Utility will show green for the firmware version.

Improvement

• Minor bug fixes to support firmware updates with the Shure Update Utility.

Notes

• For operation of ULX-D devices with other Shure networked systems, see the following list of minimum firmware versions that are supported with ULX-D version 1.6.7:

  • Axient AXT400 Receivers and AXT600 Spectrum Managers 1.15.3
  • Wireless Workbench 6 version 6.10.3

Improvements

• Added support for updating GLX-D devices, including
  • GLXD1 - Bodypack transmitters
  • GLXD2 - Handheld transmitters
  • GLXD4 - Baggable receiver
  • GLXD6 - Guitar Pedal receiver

Known Issues

• Microflex Wireless devices running version 1.X firmware must first be updated to version 2.0.5 before being updated to version 3.X or later.

Notes

• Simultaneous updating more than one GLX-D device is not supported.
• Installing the Shure Update Utility on Windows machines will prompt the installation of a USB driver in addition to the original application. This driver must be installed to support updating USB devices, like GLX-D.
• The use of USB hubs is not recommended when performing updates to GLX-D devices. Always connect a GLX-D device directly to a USB terminal of the computer running the Shure Update Utility.
• This version of the Shure Update Utility is compatible with the following other versions of software applications:
  • Wireless Workbench 6.11.0

Improvements

• Minor bug fixes and performance enhancements
