Software & Firmware Archives

These release notes cover the following models:

• MXWNCS2/4/8 Networked Chargers
• MXWANI4/8 Audio Network Interfaces
• MXWAPT2/4/8 Access Point Transceivers
• MXW1/2/6/8 Wireless Microphones

IMPROVEMENT

• Fixed an intermittent issue in versions 4.0.6-7 where wireless microphones unexpectedly un-pair from their assigned MXWAPT channels.

KNOWN ISSUES

• If the SCM820 automatic mixer is selected as the Audio Output Device for automatic routing of APT audio channels, ensure that the SCM820 firmware version is 1.3.3 or higher. Alternatively, use Dante Controller software to route the channels. For a free Dante routing and diagnostic tool, see Audinate.com.
• Transmitters may fail to update if they are on a firmware version that is lower than the firmware version on the charger that they are docked on. To properly update transmitters, ensure transmitters are docked on chargers with firmware version 4.0.6 or higher.

NOTES

• For operation of MXW devices with other Shure networked systems, see the following list of minimum software and firmware versions that are supported with MXW version 4.0.6:
  • SCM820 1.3.3
  • Shure Web Device Discovery 1.0.18
  • Shure Update Utility 2.2.2.8
• Dante Packet Bridge Support: A third-party Dante device (e.g. a Dante DSP) used with the MXWAPT can now obtain the MXWAPT Control IP Address through a data channel on the Dante Network, allowing greater flexibility in network architecture and setup with multiple interfaces.

Release Date: 1/19/2017

Maintenance Release

Important

• This version is a maintenance release for systems with CU 6005, CU 6010 and CU 6011 Central Units connecting to SW 6000 through RS232.
• This version is not for new installations
• This version can upgrade SW6000 from v6.0 to v6.3.34.16
• This version is compatible with SW6000 Software License file v1.7 only
• No SW6000 upgrade license is needed when upgrading from v6.0 to v6.3.34.16
• Upgrade from versions prior to v6.0 for system using CU 6005, CU 6010 or CU 6011 is not possible

Improvements & Bug Fixes

CAA

• Conference Log with Individual Votes Report (report ID #1451).
• Fixed multiple individual voting results
• Reports updated to reflect conference delegate settings
• Correcting report for all type of list conferences (e.g. prepared delegate conference), so delegate properties (e.g. user type, voting weight, etc.) are now reflected correctly in reports. This impacts most reports also custom reports (e.g. * Georgian, and other reports)

CUA

• Voting performance improvement
• Improved performance at voting stop for large CUA installations, which caused slow appearance of voting results on CUA’s after voting is stopped
• Correction for CUA exception when viewing Individual voting results
• Registration performance improvement
• Improve performance for external validation for Registration check, which previously caused the CUI/CUA slowdown in performance
• CUA exceptions after voting on CUA, and then selecting Individual button, which can make the CUA throw an exception, and then crash Slow system performance when voting
• Sometimes delegate votes are casted without voting weight (large installations only)

CDA

• Added "-hittest" command line flag. Needed for automated test, and makes it possible to scroll on the CDA Agenda
• Delegates with no "Right to vote” appear in the Individual Voting Results display

Known Issues

• CAA: Copy conference, caused exception in some cases
• CAA: Delegate names are missing in reports after restoring older 4.2 database
• CAA/CUI: Conference Log report do not show speaker stop time, if speaker was active at conference stop
• Installation: Installation overwrites the default custom mimic image. The workaround is to take a backup of the database before installation, and restore it after the upgrade
• Animation errors (this error seems to be PC performance dependent, and only happens on some systems). Workaround is to disable animations with CDA command line parameters

Improvements

• Added compatibility for ULX-D firmware version 2.0.19
• Performance enhancements

Known Issues

• After using the characters { or } in a Channel name, the Channel name field appears greyed out and can't be changed again for about 10 seconds.
• On the Device Properties for a Microflex Wireless MXW1, the Firmware Version field erroneously shows the firmware version may be incompatible.
• When Access Control is activated on a ULXD4/D/Q, the receiver will not be visible in SystemOn 2.1.
• Remote Microflex Wireless Transmitter Linking is not available with SystemOn 2.1. This feature will be available in a future software update.
• Microflex Wireless Audio and RF metering information is not available with SystemOn 2.1. This feature will be available in a future software update.
• UTC time and date are displayed on Event Log and Email/SMS notifications.
• If a valid license activation ID is applied and fails on the first attempt, retry a second time before calling support.
• Monitoring widget may show erroneous characters for a short time period for Microflex Wireless (MXW) and ULX-D microphones.
• Some languages may show words or sentences that are cut off.

Notes

• To operate SystemOn 2.1 with Shure networked systems, see the following list of firmware versions that are supported with SystemOn 2.1:
  • SCM820 1.3.3
  • ULX-D 1.7.34 - 2.0.19
  • MXW 4.0.6 - 4.0.7
