Important

• Please review the information below regarding upgrading to a more secure, encrypted https
• Protocol for network-based connection to our browser-based CUI will display a message stating "Your connection is not private" upon the first connection attempt. This is expected behavior and does NOT indicate any security risk. Quite the opposite is the case – once the steps below have been carried out after installing this F/W upgrade – the network communications to the CUI from a network-connected browser will be MORE secure due to the https encryption.
• Please proceed by following these steps:
  1. Click ADVANCED to get to the next pop-up window below.
  2. Select “Continue to [IP-address of the APXD2] (unsafe) to open the CUI in an encrypted browser window using the https protocol.
  3. In subsequent connections to the CUI, the IP address of the device to be connected to can be found in the Shure Update Utility. Please copy this address found in SUU into your browser address window and add “ https:// “  in front of it to open the CUI of your chosen device.
  4. You will now see the CUI with the “Not Secure“ warning next to the address field. Despite this warning, the connection to the APXD2 is now more secure compared to the previous http connection before the update.

Known Issues

• If an ANIUSB, MXA310, MXN5-C is added to a Dante Domain the device appears as locked in Designer even when the controller permissions allow users to make changes. The user is unable to deploy, enable encryption or make any Dante related changes.
  • Workaround: Remove device from the Dante Domain, perform needed tasks such as deploy, update Dante properties, etc., and then add the device back to the domain
• The Room preset slot does not properly detect a conflict state when a missing device which comes back online has different preset name in slot 1 when compared to other online devices in the room.
  • Workaround: Quit the application using activity monitor and relaunch the application
• In Virtual mode, device discovery may be unstable when number of devices exceeds 30.
  • Workaround: Limit device deployment to 30 in a room
• Users may be presented with error indication “this action is not allowed in the schematic input  & output pages” of the P300 SDC (virtual or online).
  • Workaround: Update names to valid setting.
• Users may be unable to configure ANIUSB, MXA310, or MXN-C devices while they are in a Dante Domain Manager (DDM)
