Networking
The receiver uses an Ethernet connection to network with other components and includes an internal DHCP client
for automatic network configuration when connected to a DHCP enabled router.
Connecting to a Network
Insert an Ethernet cable in the Ethernet port on the rear of the receiver.
Connect the cable to a computer or router.
The port LEDs on the receiver will illuminate to indicate network connectivity and network traffic.
Automatic IP Addressing
Enable a DHCP service on the server or use a DHCP enabled router.
When the receiver is powered on, the DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to the receiver.
Tip: Use the network reset option available in the advanced features menu to return the receiver to the default
DHCP addressing mode.
Configuration Tips
Use shielded Cat 5 or better Ethernet cables to ensure reliable network performance
The LEDs on the Ethernet port illuminate indicating a network connection is active
The network icon illuminates when the receiver detects additional Shure devices on the network
All components must operate on the same subnet
Use multiple Ethernet switches to extend the network for larger installations
Network Troubleshooting
Use only one DHCP server per network
All devices must share the same subnet mask
All receivers must have the same level of firmware revision installed
Look for the illuminated network icon on the front panel of each device:
If the icon is not illuminated, check the cable connection and the LEDs on the Ethernet port.
If the Ethernet port LEDs are not illuminated and the cable is plugged in, replace the cable and recheck the
LEDs and network icon.
To check connectivity of WWB6 to the network:
Start WWB6 software and use Inventory view to see devices connected to the network.
If not, find the IP address from one of the devices on the network (such as a receiver) and see if you can ping
it from the computer running WWB6.
From a WINDOWS/MAC command prompt, type ‘ping IPADDRESS’ of the device (e.g. "ping 192.168.1.100").
If the ping returns success (no packet loss), then the computer can communicate with the device on the
network. If the ping returns failure (100% packet loss), then verify that the IP address of the computer is on
the same subnet as the receiver.
If the pings are successful and the devices still do not show up in the WWB6 inventory, check to ensure all
firewalls are either disabled or allow the WWB network traffic to pass to the application. Check that firewall
settings are not blocking network access.
Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask Manually
IP addresses and subnet masks can be manually set from the advanced menu in the receiver or from the monitor
panel in Wireless Workbench 6.
