Known Issues

MXCWAPT

• MXCWAPT FW update with older versions of SUU may result in SUU reporting a false update failure, when update was actually successful.  If this occurs, verify FW on APT via GUI or LCD.
• When downgrading from FW 7.0, to FW4 or lower, the process has to be done in two separate steps: First upload the MXCW640 FW to the APT via the SUU and downgrade the discussion units. Secondly downgrade the MXCWAPT from SUU.

MXCWAPT Component GUI

• When running Windows-Version:1809, cannot access APT CGUI when opened via DNS Name applied directly to the browser search bar or with Shure Web Device Discovery Application shortcut. Opening APT CGUI via IP address works as designed.

MXCW640

• MXCW640 Left/Right buttons incorrect LED indication when using FIFO conference mode with Dual-Delegate or while identifying units while in Request List.
• In very rare occasions, MXCW640 touch screen will not respond to screen touch.  Resolved by power cycling unit.

TPCI

• Once MXCW640s are set to Ambient Role, unit will no longer respond to TPCI strings that are indexed based off of seat number.
• Once MXCW640s are set to Ambient Role, and rebooted, unit will no longer send TPCI strings when changing role to other than Ambient (Chairman, Delegate, Interpreter etc). Resolved by power cycling the unit, while not in Ambient role.
• Rare TPCI errors reporting a single MXCW640’s when transitioning roles from Ambient. Resolved by restarting unit.

Software

• Shure Discovery Application missing MXCWAPT AES67 indication.

Initial Release

Notes

• User Guide
• To operate this version of MXA901 with other Shure networked systems, see the following list of recommended versions:
  • Shure Update Utility 2.8.4

NOTE: This update is for REV5 devices only.

Improvements

• Support for added hardware revisions

Important

• ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers running firmware prior to 1.4.8 must be updated to 1.4.8 before updating to newer versions.
• ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers running firmware between 1.4.8 and 2.0.28 must be updated to 2.0.28 before updating to newer versions.
• After 2.0.28 is installed, ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers can be updated to the latest available firmware version.
• ULX-D devices that are downgrading to 1.5.6 may report a false failure.
  • Workaround: Because this is a false failure, closing the send updates window and going to the main page, Shure Update Utility will show green for the firmware version.
• ULX-D 2.X firmware versions are incompatible with ULX-D or QLX-D 1.X firmware versions. To ensure all receivers and transmitters in a configuration function with each other, update all devices to the same firmware version.

Known Issues

• Group Scan Deployment and Custom Group Load may not work with other ULXD4/ULXD4D/ ULXD4Q that are running older firmware versions

Notes

• User Guides: ULXD4 | ULXD4D/Q
• ULXD1/2 transmitters used with receivers must be updated via IR sync. After a receiver is updated, follow these steps:
  1. Go to the receiver menu: DEVICE UTILITIES > TX FW UPDATE
  2. Align the infrared ports with the transmitter
  3. Press ENTER
• To operate this version of ULX-D devices with other Shure networked systems and software, see the following list of recommended versions:

Bug Fixes

• This hotfix addresses the following anomalies:
  • In Designer release 4.7.35, whenever the Coverage Map of a live 920 is displayed, the lobe placements are incorrect when Auto Coverage is Off. All the lobes are “stacked” on each other.
  • Meanwhile, the web UI for the 920 in this scenario is correct, as well as the Designer 4.7.35 SDC for the 920. It’s only the Designer 4.7 Coverage Map that is the issue (and only when Auto Coverage is Off).
  • For this issue, in the Designer 4.7 Coverage Map, the x/y/z values for each lobe are correct (even though the visualization is incorrect). However, if a user tries to manually overwrite the x/y/z positions, they will still take effect, but the visualization in the Coverage Map will not change.
  • For this issue, in the Designer 4.7 Coverage Map, if the user clicks and drags a lobe, the change will take effect on the actual 920, and the updated position will be shown correctly in Designer (but only for the lobes that have been manually clicked and dragged).
