Initial Release

These release notes cover the following models:

• MXWNCS4/8 Networked Chargers
• MXWANI4/8 Audio Network Interfaces
• MXWAPT4/8 Access Point Transceivers
• MXW1/2/6/8 Wireless Microphones

NEW FEATURES

• Lock Configuration – Enables more MXW devices to operate on the same subnet. When a configuration is locked it reduces overall network communication with devices outside of the configuration. This reduction in network traffic dramatically increases the overall number of MXW devices that can coexist on the same subnet. It is recommended that all users lock their configurations after setup to optimize system performance.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Fixed Spectrum Scanner display bug introduced in 2.0.5. Current scan results are now shown immediately.
• Stability improvements for Audio Network Interfaces.

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 3.0.2:
  • SCM820-DAN 1.1.21
  • Shure Web Device Discovery 1.0.15
  • Shure Update Utility 2.1.1

New Features

CDA

• Customer Requests Asia BU: Backgrounds Images and variables in CDA
• North Sydney City Council, Jands: CDA Mimic vote cast indication
• CDA now supports using transparent background pictures

Bug Fixes

• CAA Cant delete a Conference where voting has been conducted twice on same agenda subject.
• CDA UI jitters when sorting is involved (Individual voting results display) - partly corrected
• CDA Voting graphics are jumping / jittering
• CUI: Default Microphone mimic not visible on CDA until CUI is restarted
• CDA background image Vertical 'top, center, bottom' parameters are not always reflected on display
• CDA Typewriting and animation improvements to e.g, speaker list
• CDA Exception when renaming the mimic
• CAA / CDA Configuration - Prepare conference text – secondary language not used by CDA
• CAA Conferences - can't delete conferences when using search field
• CUA: Microphones with CUA attached not visible in Mic. ext list
• CU Exceptions in VSS log when operating microphones fast

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.

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
