To send updates to the devices, select Apply All to the Pending Changes field of the Utility page.

Go to Utility > Device Properties to manage the interfaces of each MXW device on the network.

Network Audio and Shure Control Data

MXW devices transport two types of data over the network: Shure Control and Network Audio.

Shure Control

The Shure Control carries data for the control software operation, firmware updates and 3rd party control systems (AMX,

Crestron). This data is transported to all MXW components connected to the network.

Network Audio

ThisnetworkcarriesboththeDantedigitalaudioandthecontroldataforDanteController.Thisdataistransmittedbe

tween the APT, the output device and the computer. The network audio requires a wired, gigabit Ethernet connection to

operate.
