ANI22 - Audio Network Interface

Improvements

• Enhancements to support Designer 6.0.0
• Additional hardware support

Known Issues

• Security Certificates:
  • Certificates must be in the PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) format
  • Certificates must be X.509 certificates and keys: PEM (Base64 ASCII), and DER (binary)
• The CUI may become unresponsive after a firmware update
  • Workaround: Try clearing the cache on your browser to re-assert the connection.  Please check your web browser for instructions on how to clear the browser cache. A common method of clearing the cache of a browser is Ctrl SHIFT R .
• Browser disconnection: Web browsers connected to our devices maybe disconnected after one hour if no user activity is detected.  Refresh the browser to re-establish the connection.
• In AES67 mode - Audio does not pass after changing Dante Device name, followed by a reboot
• ANI22-XLR reverses absolute phase from Analog in to Dante out – workaround is to enable “Invert polarity” for Dante Output
• When exporting Presets using Safari on a Mac OS, the file type is saved incorrectly and must be renamed to .json to be imported

New Features

Improvements

• For enhanced security, first-time user interface access will prompt the user to set up a passphrase. Users have the option of continuing without a passphrase, allowing for Shure Designer configuration software to securely configure the device within a location.
  • Passphrase length must be at least 8 characters up to a maximum of 64, all characters allowed
  • The passphrase may be disabled after the first login
  • Downgrade caution:
    • After the 4.1.37 upgrade, the device’s new passphrase (and/or its audio encryption passphrase) might exceed the allowed length of its prior firmware version. In that case, downgrading requires the following procedure to ensure passphrase compatibility:
      • Prior to downgrading, log in and disable the passphrase(s) or the change the passphrase(s) to the character length allowed by the prior firmware to be downgraded to.
      • Perform the firmware downgrade. Enable passphrase(s) as desired.
  • Using Designer software:
• When multiple devices at different firmware levels are put into a location using Shure Designer software, the location passphrase for those devices must abide by the length and character set limitations of the older firmware. Advice: Update all devices in the location to the latest firmware in order to use a more robust passphrase.
