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

NEW FEATURES

• High Density (HD) mode doubles the number of channels available in standard mode, with minor changes to some system features, for better system performance the presence of interference from neighboring DECT wireless devices.
• PHS Detection and Exclusion is a new feature for Microflex Wireless installations in Japan. PHS is a mobile phone technology that shares frequency spectrum with the JDECT band used by Microflex Wireless. The new PHS Detection and Exclusion capabilities allow the MXW microphones and MXWAPTs to avoid PHS interference and deliver a consistent, reliable audio experience.

IMPROVEMENTS

• MXW Networked Charging Stations are consistently discovered by the Shure Update Utility in order to receive firmware updates.
• MXW devices now correctly format DHCP requests.
• MXWAPT2 devices are now discovered by the Shure Web Device Discovery app after they are rebooted or reset to their factory defaults by a Dante controller.
• MXWAPT and microphone wireless connection management enhancements added to deliver a consistent audio experience as mics approach the edge of a coverage area.
• Additional MXWAPT event logging to troubleshoot complex systems.
• Fixed an intermittent issue when MXW microphones undocked from a MXW Networked Charging Station did not start in unmuted mode when it was set to start in unmuted mode.
• MXWAPT interference detection enhanced to better recover and maintain wireless connections to microphones when other DECT devices are present.
• Enhanced MXWAPT task management and messaging queue procedures to fix unexpected behavior, such as blank Audio/RF meters and intermittent microphone connectivity, when microphones are repeatedly docked/undocked in a Crestron/AMX system.
• When changing Mute Preferences for an MXWAPT, the Active/Mute LED now correctly applies the corresponding settings.
• Fixed an intermittent issue when linked MXW microphones didn't reconnect with an MXWAPT after it exited Scan mode.
• MXW Control Software
  • A reboot option is added to MXWAPT Device Properties.
  • Users will see a warning message when modifying RF Coordination Mode so they are aware of possible interference between devices or the potential impact on MXW microphone performance.
  • Spectrum Scanner accurately displays graphs and font sizes for all languages.
  • Duplicating Dante Channel names prevented on MXWAPT devices.
  • Invalid characters in Channel Names prevented on MXWANI devices.
  • Button and label text truncation improved for all languages.

KNOWN ISSUES

• During Spectrum Scan, modifying MXWAPT configuration settings can put the device in a non-deterministic state. If configuration settings are modified during Spectrum Scan, MXWAPT must be rebooted.
• Microflex Wireless 5.1.23 is not supported by SystemOn version 2.1.

NOTES

• Microflex Wireless firmware version 5.1.23 does not support AES67.
• 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. Learn more
• For operation of MXW version 5.1.23 with other Shure networked systems, see the following list of minimum software and firmware versions:
  • SCM820 1.3.3
  • Shure Web Device Discovery 1.0.18
