Japan-specific improvements:

• J-DECT update: Microflex Wireless now features up to 96 channels in HD mode to meet J-DECT requirements, adding additional channels (dependent on modes and interference) as well as an improved handling of PHS presence.

In areas with no PHS interference, the new maximum channel capacity is: 

However, when PHS interference is present, the maximum number of channels changes to:

Important Note: For customers in Japan that have an existing MXW installation, a unique, one-off update procedure must be performed to take advantage of these additional microphone channels. Without this procedure, the other improvements mentioned above will still take effect but without the J-DECT update. This procedure needs to be conducted onsite by Shure personnel — please contact your local Shure representative for details.

Bug Fixes

• APT2 is not discovered by Shure Device Discovery app following a reboot or factory reset using Dante Controller
• Spectrum scan on an MXW-APT no longer responsive after Density-Mode change

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

Bug Fixes

• When an interfering DECT device is transmitting nearby an MXW Access Point, the Access point may occasionally drop the connection to microphones 1-4. To recover mic connectivity, reset the Access Point.
  • Examples of interfering DECT devices are other MXW Access Points that are not on the same subnet as the affected Access point; however, in many cases, the interfering DECT devices are wireless headsets for wired desk telephones.
• MXW microphones intermittently drop off the Monitor status screen and their LED turns from green to flashing red for 10 to 30 seconds before recovering back to green, and then recovering their status activity on the Monitor screen. This may occur in environments with large reflective surfaces, such as windows, large LED monitors, and auditoriums with high walls and ceilings. These environments introduce RF reflections that interfere with the heartbeat signal from an MXW Access Point to a microphone. Microphones overcompensate for the interference and lose connectivity with the Access Point, restarting the scan process (seen as a red blinking LED) to find a valid Access Point signal.

Known Issue

• MXW Control Software doesn't show an "Unlink" button on the Monitor tab when microphones are powered off or out of range, or when networked chargers are offline.
• Microphones already linked to an Access Point can't link to a different Access Point without first unlinking.
• After microphones are removed from a charger, active microphones take several minutes to appear on SystemOn and trigger false notifications.
• Status update stops on the Scanning Session display when changes are made to the Channel Density mode (Standard to High, or High to Standard) or to the RF Coordination mode (A to B, or B to A) during a spectrum scan.
• MXWAPT firmware updates may fail after repeated attempts using the Shure Update Utility.
  • Note: Please contact Shure Support to replace an affected MXWAPT.
• Due to factory programming error, MXWAPT4 and MXWAPT2 access points shipped from October 2017 through March 2018 may incur frequent erratic microphone behavior indicated by a constant red blinking LED on the microphones, even when the microphones are well within range of the access point.
• 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.

Known Issues

• When an interfering DECT device is transmitting nearby an MXWAPT, the Access Point may occasionally drop the connection to mics 1-4. To recover mic connectivity, you can reset the MXWAPT. Examples of interfering DECT devices are other MXWAPT devices that are not on the same subnet as the affected MXWAPT; however, in many cases, the interfering DECT devices are wireless headsets for wired telephones on desks.
