Firmware
Firmware 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
®
6 (WWB6) software. Software is available for download from http://www.shure.com/wwb.
Firmware Versioning
When updating receiver firmware, update transmitters to the same firmware version to ensure consistent operation.
The firmware of all ULX-D devices has the form of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.14). At a minimum, all ULX-D devices on the network (including
transmitters), must have the same MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers (e.g., 1.2.x).
Updating the Receiver
CAUTION! Ensure that receiver power and network connections are maintained during a firmware update. Do not turn off the receiver until the update is
complete.
Once the download is complete, the receiver automatically begins the firmware update, which overwrites the existing firmware.
1. From Shure Wireless Workbench software, open the Firmware Update Manager: Tools > Firmware Update Manager.
2. Click Check Now to view new versions available for download.
3. Select the updates and click download.
4. Connect the receiver and computer to the same network.
5. Download the latest firmware to the receiver.
Updating the Transmitter
1. To upload the firmware to the transmitter, go to DEVICE UTILITIES > TX FW UPDATE on the receiver.
2. Place the transmitter on its side and align the IR ports.
3. 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.
Transmitter Presets
Use the TX SYNC SETUP menu to configure transmitter settings on the
receiver to transfer to the transmitter during a sync. Each parameter has the
default value
KEEP, which leaves that setting unaffected by a sync.
Feature Setting
BP PAD 0 dB, -12 dB
LOCK Power, Menu, All, None
RF POWER 10mW=Nm, 1mW=Lo, 20mW=Hi
BATT Alkaline, NiMH, Lithium
BP OFFSET 0 dB to +21 dB (in 3 dB increments)
HH OFFSET 0 dB to +21 dB (in 3 dB increments)
Cust. Group OFF, ON
Note: When
Cust. Group is set to ON, it may take up to 30 seconds to
complete an IR sync. Select OFF if Custom Groups are not in use for
faster IR sync.
Creating a System Preset
System Presets allow a current receiver setup to be saved and restored.
Presets store all receiver settings to provide a quick way to configure a
receiver or switch between several different setups. Up to 4 presets can be
stored in receiver memory.
To save the current receiver setup as a new preset:
DEVICE UTILITIES >
SYSTEM RESET > SAVE > CREATE NEW PRESET
Use the control wheel to name the preset, and then press Enter to save.
To recall a saved preset:
DEVICE UTILITIES > SYSTEM RESET > RESTORE
Use the control wheel to select the preset name, and then press Enter.
