10Non-networked Receivers1. Turn on all receivers.2. Conduct a group scan on the first receiver to find the best group of frequen-cies in your RF environment: SCAN > GROUP SCAN3. Select a group that contains enough open frequencies to accommodate the entire setup.4. Turn on the transmitter and sync to the first receiver. Repeat the following steps for each additional system:5. Go to SCAN > CHANNEL SCAN on the receiver to select the group assigned in step 26. Press the SCAN button to find the next best open frequency. 7. Press ENTER to assign the channel to the receiver.8. Sync the transmitter to the receiver. Multiple System SetupA setup using networked receivers is the fastest and easiest way to distribute the best open channel to each system. See Networking Receivers for network-ing details.Networked Receivers1. Turn on all receivers.2. Conduct a group scan on the first receiver to find the best group of frequen-cies in your RF environment: SCAN > GROUP SCAN.3. Press ENTER to accept the group number and automatically assign the next best channel to each receiver on the network.4. Turn on a transmitter and sync to the receiver. Repeat this step for each additional system.Use this procedure to tune a receiver and transmitter to the best open channel.Important! Before you begin: Scan and SyncTurn off all transmitters for the systems you are setting up. (This prevents them from interfering with the frequency scan.)Turn on potential sources of interference such as other wireless systems or devices, computers, CD players, large LED panels, effects processors, and digital rack equipment so they are operating as they would be during the pre-sentation or performance (so the scan will detect and avoid any interference they generate).1. Perform a channel scan on the receiver: SCAN > CHANNEL SCAN. 2. Select a group and press the SCAN button. SCANNING displays on the LCD while it searches for an open frequency.3. After the scan completes, the receiver displays the group, channel and frequency of the best available channel. Press the flashing ENTER button to save the value to the receiver.4. Power on the ULXD transmitter.5. Press the sync button on the receiver.6. Align the IR windows until the receiver IR port illuminates red.7. When complete, SYNC SUCCESS! appears. The transmitter and receiver are now tuned to the same frequency.23 4516RF PowerReference the following table for setting RF Power:RF Power Setting Range Application1 mW ≤100ft. For increased channel reuse at close distances10 mW ≤300ft. Typical setups20 mW ≤420ft. For hostile RF environments or long-distance applications Note: Using the 20 mW setting decreases the transmitter battery runtime and reduces the number of compatible systems. See the specifications section for details.Interference DetectionInterference Detection analyzes the quality of the RF signal and detects interference conditions that have caused an audio signal dropout. When in-terference is identified, the RF LEDS illuminate red and the following warning displays on the receiver LCD panel.Perform a Scan and Sync during a performance break if the warning display persists or the audio drops out repeatedly.RFDraft 9/14/11
11Manual Frequency SelectionTo manually adjust group, channel or frequency, use the RADIO > SET FREQ menu.The receiver uses an Ethernet connection to network with other components. For automatic network configuration, use a DHCP enabled Ethernet switch such as the Shure AXT620. Use multiple Ethernet switches to extend the net-work for larger installations.Note: Note use only one DHCP server per network.Automatic IP Addressing1. If using a Shure AXT620 Ethernet switch, set the DHCP switch to ON.2.

Set the IP Mode to Manual for all devices (UTILITIES > NETWORKING > MODE)3. Set compatible IP addresses for all devices. 4. Set the subnet mask to the same value for all devices.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 network jack. If the LEDs are not on and the cable is plugged in, replace the cable and recheck the LEDs and network icon.To check connectivity of WWB6 to the network: 1. Start WWB6 software and use Inventory view to see devices connected to the network.2. If not, find the IP address from one of the devices on the network (such as an ULXD receiver) and see if you can ping it from the computer running WWB6.3. From a WINDOWS/MAC command prompt, type ‘ping IPADDRESS’ of the device (e.g. “ping 192.168.1.100”).4. If the ping returns success (no packet loss), then the computer can see the device on the network. If the ping returns failure (100% packet loss), then check the IP address of the computer to ensure it’s on the same subnet as the Axient device.5. 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. Draft 9/14/11

14FirmwareFirmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are developed to incorporate additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, new versions of the firmware can be uploaded and installed using the Firmware Update Manager tool available in Shure’s Wireless Workbench® (WWB) software. Software is available for download from http://www.shure.com/wwb.Perform the following steps to update the firmware for the ULXD system:1. Download the latest firmware to WWB software: Tools > Firmware Update Manager. Click Check Now to view and download the latest versions. 2. Connect the receiver and computer to the same network.3. Download the latest firmware to the receiver.4. To transfer firmware to the transmitter, go to UTILITIES > TX FW UPDATE on the receiver.5. Align the transmitter and receiver IR ports.6. Press ENTER on the receiver to begin the download to the transmitter. IR ports must be aligned for the entire download, which can take 50 seconds or longer.Once the download is complete, the receiver automatically begins the firmware update, which overwrites the existing firmware. CAUTION! Do not turn off the receiver until the update is complete.TroubleshootingIssue See Solution...No Sound Power, Cables, or RFFaint sound or distortion GainLack of range, unwanted noise bursts, or dropouts RFCannot turn transmitter off or change frequency settings, or can’t program receiver Interface locksEncryption error message Encryption MismatchPowerMake sure that the receiver and transmitter are receiving sufficient voltage. Use the 15 V DC power supply furnished with the ULXD4 receiver. Check the battery indicators and replace the transmitter batteries if necessary.GainAdjust the system gain on the front of the receiver. Ensure the output level (XLR output only) on the back of the receiver corresponds to the input of the mixing console, amplifier, or DSP.CablesCheck that all cables and connectors are working correctly.Interface LocksThe transmitter and the receiver can be locked to prevent accidental or unau-thorized changes. A locked feature or button will produce the Locked screen on the LCD panel. Encryption MismatchRe-sync the receiver and transmitter after enabling or disabling encryption. Radio Frequency (RF)RF LEDsIf neither blue RF Diversity LED is illuminated, then the receiver is not detect-ing the presence of a transmitter.The amber RF Signal Strength LEDs indicate the amount of signal being received. This signal could be from the transmitter, or it could be from an interfering source, such as a television broadcast. If more than one or two of the amber RF LEDs are still illuminated while the transmitter is off, then that channel has too much interference, and you should try a different channel. The red RF LED indicates RF overload. This will usually not cause a problem unless you are using more than one system at the same time, in which case, it can cause interference in the other system.Compatibility• Perform a Scan and Sync to ensure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same group and channel.• Look at the label on the transmitter and receiver to make sure they are in the same band (G50, J50, L50, etc...).Reducing Interference• Perform a group or channel scan to find the best open frequency. Perform a sync to transfer the setting to the transmitter.• For multiple systems, check that all systems are set to channels in the same group (systems in different bands do not need to be set to the same group).• Maintain a line of sight between transmitter and receiver antennas.• Move receiver antennas away from metal objects or other sources of RF interference (such as CD players, computers, digital effects, network switches, network cables and Personal Stereo Monitor (PSM) wireless systems).• Eliminate RF overload (see below).Increasing RangeIf the transmitter is more than 6 to 60 m (20 to 200 ft) from the receiver an-tenna, you may be able to increase range by doing one of the following:• Reduce interference (see above). • Increase transmitter RF power level.• Use an active directional antenna, antenna distribution system, or other antenna accessory to increase RF range.Eliminating RF OverloadIf you see the red RF LED on a receiver, try the following:• Reduce the transmitter RF power level• Move the transmitter further away from the receiver—at least 6 m (20 ft)• If you are using active antennas, reduce antenna or amplifier gain.• Use omnidirectional antennasDraft 9/14/11
