Connecting MXW Components
MXW components are connected using Ethernet cables and a switch. For a small system with a single access point, the MXW
Audio Network Interface functions as the switch. For systems with more than one access point, an additional gigabit switch is
required for connecting all the components together.
Requirements:
UseshieldedCat5e(orhigher)Ethernetcables.Limitcablerunsto≤100mbetweendevices.
Use Gigabit networking equipment between network audio devices (required for systems with >1 access point).
Ensure MXW components are on the same firmware version.
Ensure MXW components and the PC are on the same network and set to the same subnet.
Single Group System (1 Access Point)
When the system is limited to a single group (up to eight channels), use the MXW Audio Network Interface four-port switch for
connecting MXW components. Connect the computer, access point and up to two chargers to the MXW interface according to
the table and diagram:
Audio Network Interface Port To Component
① Port 1 (PoE) Access Point Transceiver (APT)
② Port 2 Networked Charging Station (NCS)
③ Port 3 (Optional) Additional NCS
④ Port 4* Computer
*When Port 4 is set to Uplink mode, Shure Discovery Application support is restricted.
