These release notes cover the following models:

• MXWNCS4/8
• MXWANI4/8
• MXWAPT4/8
• SCM820

Improvements

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 1.5.17:
  • ULX-D ULXD1/2 Transmitters and ULXD4, ULXD4D, ULXD4Q Receivers 1.5.6
  • Axient AXT400 Receivers and AXT600 Spectrum Managers 1.15.3
  • Wireless Workbench 6 version 6.10.0

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.

Improvements

• Minor factory support release

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 1.5.17:
  • ULX-D ULXD1/2 Transmitters and ULXD4, ULXD4D, ULXD4Q Receivers 1.5.6
  • Axient AXT400 Receivers and AXT600 Spectrum Managers 1.15.3
  • Wireless Workbench 6 version 6.10.0

Improvements

• Resolved issues when downloading and installing Wireless Workbench 6 updates.

Notes

• This version of the Shure Update Utility is compatible with the following other versions of software applications:
  • Wireless Workbench 6.10.2

Improvements

• Added support for new PSM300 In-Ear Monitor System.
• Updated TV data for United States, France, and Austria
• Bug fixes

Known Issues

• When scanning with AXT400 receivers, the Band Preset value in the Live Scan Settings dialog does not always stay in sync with the currently selected band of the receiver. The Band Preset can be manually changed to scan any supported range.
• When importing show files that contain a deployed frequency list, channels in that list with a custom equipment profile type will not be removed from the backups section of the Channel Summary dialog regardless of whether the custom profile is stored on the local machine's equipment profiles database. The calculator will not be able to coordinate frequencies until all channels are removed from the backups section for which there is not a custom equipment profile.
• Alerts logged when devices are first come online may list device parameters and their values as they are being discovered even though the parameter values themselves have not changed.

Notes

• In order to monitor and control networked devices, you must be connected to the same subnet. Cross-subnet connections to a network of gear are not supported.
• Tags that have been added to a show file but are not assigned to any devices are not saved within the show file.
• Opening show files created with older versions of Wireless Workbench may result in the Settings Conflicts dialog opening once the file has loaded. This is due to newly supported hardware parameters that have been introduced with updated firmware versions. To maintain all settings from the show file, select "Keep all settings from: Wireless Workbench".
• On machines running Windows 7, Wireless Workbench will not be able to discover devices when the machine has fallen back to its 169.254.xxx.yyy fallback IP address, regardless of the IP addressing of the connected Shure devices. To address this, perform one of the following:
  • Insert a DHCP server onto your network and set your machine and Shure devices to accept automatic IP addressing.
  • Statically assign your machine's IP address to the 169.254.xxx.yyy fallback subnet with a different IP address than the one it fell back to originally.

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.

Improvements

• Added support to repair a rare networking issue with Duplicate Dante MAC Addresses for Dante-enabled ULX-D receivers.

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 1.5.18:
  • ULX-D ULXD1/2 Transmitters and ULXD4, ULXD4D, ULXD4Q Receivers 1.5.6
  • Axient AXT400 Receivers and AXT600 Spectrum Managers 1.15.3
  • Wireless Workbench 6 version 6.10.3

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

Improvements

• Fixed bug which would not display Group and Channel for frequencies coordinated for PSM300 In-Ear Monitor systems, as well as FP and BLX wireless systems.
• Added support to repair a rare networking issue with Duplicate Dante MAC Addresses for Dante-enabled ULX-D receivers. Note: this fix requires updating ULX-D to firmware version 1.5.18.
• Added support for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
