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

• Requested backup frequencies from show files created with WWB 6.10 or earlier will not be imported after the show file conversion in WWB 6.11.
• 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.

  • GLXD1 - Bodypack transmitters
  • GLXD2 - Handheld transmitters
  • GLXD4 - Baggable receiver
  • GLXD6 - Guitar Pedal receiver

Known Issues

• Microflex Wireless devices running version 1.X firmware must first be updated to version 2.0.5 before being updated to version 3.X or later.

Notes

• Simultaneous updating more than one GLX-D device is not supported.
• Installing the Shure Update Utility on Windows machines will prompt the installation of a USB driver in addition to the original application. This driver must be installed to support updating USB devices, like GLX-D.
• The use of USB hubs is not recommended when performing updates to GLX-D devices. Always connect a GLX-D device directly to a USB terminal of the computer running the Shure Update Utility.
• This version of the Shure Update Utility is compatible with the following other versions of software applications:
  • Wireless Workbench 6.11.0

New Features

Added Site Survey (902 - 928 MHz) Utility, which utilizes ISM-band devices to capture long-term scans and generates processed scan data, tailored specifically for coordination in this spectrum. Access this utility by selecting Tools > Site Survey (902 - 928 MHz).

• This utility is designed to use an ISM-band Shure receiver to assess whether a particular venue is well suited for ISM-band operation of fixed frequency microphone systems.
• This utility includes the “Usability Report”, which runs sample calculations and reports an approximate number of usable channels in the ISM band.
• For more information, consult the WWB6 Help System.

Improvements

• Fixed bug that would prevent scanning with MW4 receivers.

Known Issues

• If you are running the Mac OS X Yosemite Operating System, be sure to run version 10.10.4 or later. Earlier beta versions of the Operating System are not supported.
• On Macs, when users open show files and launch the Frequency Analysis dialog (by checking the checkbox and pressing “Analyze”), the Frequency Coordination tab may stop responding to keyboard inputs (for example, editing or deleting frequencies with the keyboard). To work around this issue, select another tab in the application (e.g.: Inventory or Monitor) and then reselect the Frequency Coordination tab.
• SLX and ULX frequencies in Master List mode cannot be manually entered in the Coordination Workspace. They can, however, be coordinated and analyzed.
• 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.
• Alerts logged when devices first come online may list device parameters and their values as they are being discovered even though the parameter values themselves have not changed.
