To ease setup, frequencies available to the QLX-D system are organized into groups and channels. Each group contains a number of channels, and each channel is assigned to a specific preset frequency. The QLX-D system provides 3 methods for tuning the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency:

Scan and IR Sync: The receiver scans the RF spectrum for the best available frequency and an IR sync automatically tunes the transmitter to the Manual Group and Channel Assignment: Manually setting the receiver and transmitter to the same group and channel number to form an audio Manual Frequency Assignment: Manually setting the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency rather than group and channel to form an receiver frequency channel audio channel Note: Group settings are not available in all regions - use channel settings to configure components. Scan and IR Sync The simplest way to create an audio channel is to use the scan function to find the best available receiver channel, and then use the IR sync feature to automatically tune the transmitter to the receiver channel. Step 1: Scanning to Find the Best Channel The Scan function automatically selects the best available receiver channel. 1. Navigate to the Scan menu option. 2. Press enter to start the scan. When the scan is complete, the receiver will automatically be set to the best available channel. Step2:IRSyncforAutomaticTransmitterSetUp Performing an IR Sync automatically tunes the transmitter to match the receiver frequency, forming a wireless audio channel. 1. Press the sync button on the receiver. The red ir LED will blink indicating that sync mode is active. 2. Align the IR sync windows of the transmitter and receiver at a distance of <15 cm (6 in.). When the transmitter and receiver are aligned, the red ir LED remains on and the sync will automatically occur. 3. sync good appears on the display when IR sync is complete. The blue rf LED will illuminate indicating that the transmitter is within range of the receiver. Note: If the IR sync fails, repeat the IR sync procedure, carefully maintaining alignment between the IR windows of the transmitter and receiver.

Connecting to a Network 1. Insert an Ethernet cable in the Ethernet port on the rear of the receiver. 2. Connect the cable to a computer or router. 3. The port LEDs on the receiver will illuminate to indicate network con-

nectivity and network traffic. Automatic IP Addressing 1. Enable a DHCP service on the server or use a DHCP enabled router. 2. When the receiver is powered on, the DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to the receiver. Tip: Use the network reset option available in the advanced features menu to re-

turn the receiver to the default DHCP addressing mode. Configuration Tips Use shielded Cat 5 or better Ethernet cables to ensure reliable network The LEDs on the Ethernet port illuminate indicating a network The network icon illuminates when the receiver detects other Shure performance connection is active devices on the network All components must operate on the same subnet Use multiple Ethernet switches to extend the network for larger installations Network 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 Ethernet port. If the Ethernet port LEDs are not illuminated 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 con-

nected to the network. 2. If not, find the IP address from one of the devices on the network

(such as a receiver) and see if you can ping it from the computer run-

ning 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 communicate with the device on the network. If the ping returns failure

(100% packet loss), then verify that the IP address of the computer is on the same subnet as the receiver. 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. Setting the IP Address and Subnet Address Manually IP addresses and Subnet addresses can be manually set from the advanced menu in the receiver or from the monitor panel in Wireless Workbench 6. Network settings entered manually must be valid and conform to IP protocols to ensure proper network communication. Receiver Menu IP addresses and subnet addresses contain 4 groups of numbers. Each group and contain up to 3 digits. A decimal point separates each group. When setting an IP address or subnet address, each of the 4 groups must be edited individually. The following diagram shows how the groups are mapped to the receiver display:

Use the arrow buttons to set the mode to St and press enter. 4. Use the arrow buttons to edit the first group. Press enter to save and continue to the next group. 5. Use the arrow buttons and enter button to edit the remaining 3 groups. 6. When group 4 has been edited, the display will show the subnet menu. Press enter to skip editing the subnet or use the arrow and enter buttons to edit the 4 subnet groups. 7. When finished, press enter to save settings WirelessWorkbench6 1. Open the Channel Properties tab in WWB6. 2. Click on Utilities and set the networking mode to Manual. 3. Enter valid numbers in the IP and Subnet fields. 4. When finished, select Apply. 15 Do Not Duplicate or Redistribute Network Scan The Network Scan feature automates frequency assignment by using a single receiver to scan and deploy frequencies to all networked receiver within the same frequency band. Network Scanning and Frequency Deployment Prior to performing a network scan, turn on all receivers and allow 30 to 60 seconds for all receivers to join the network. 1. Connect receivers to an active Ethernet network. All receivers must be on the same subnet. 2. To start a network scan, press the menu button on any networked receiver and navigate to the network scan menu. Press enter. 3. When the scan is complete, press enter to deploy the best available frequencies to all receivers in the network. Tip: to cancel a frequency deployment, press the menu button. 4. The front panel LEDs on each receiver will blink when a deployed frequency is assigned. Note: Full frequency deployment may not occur if the number of receivers in the network exceeds the number of available frequencies. Connecting to an External Control System The receiver connects to external controls systems (AMX or Crestron) via Ethernet cables. Use only one controller per system to avoid messaging conflicts.

ceiver display. Using QLX-D with a Shure ULX-D System Transmitters and receivers from QLX-D and ULX-D component groups can be paired to form audio channels. To ensure functionality, use the following settings on the ULX-D receivers and transmitters:

Encryption set to Off High Density Mode set to Off Manually tune the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency. IR sync between QLX-D and ULX-D components is not supported. To create an audio channel, manually set the receiver frequency to match the frequency of the transmitter. Error Codes and Solutions Error codes are generated when the receiver detects a condition that can potentially affect system performance. If an error is displayed on the receiver, use the following table to identify the problem and find the corresponding solution. Error Code Err.001 Err.002 Description Solutions Update transmitter and receiver firmware to the latest version. Set encryption to off for components from different Shure products lines, such as QLX-D and ULX-D. Audio Compatibility Encryption Mismatch be-

tween Shure product lines Encryption Mode Mismatch Ensure that encryption is set to on or to off for both the receiver and transmitter. Band Mismatch Frequency Mismatch No Frequencies Found Firmware Mismatch Receiver and transmitter are operating in overlapping frequencies from different bands. Receiver and transmitter are from bands that do not share compatible frequencies. Rescan, select a different group, or use WWB to find a frequency. Update firmware on the transmitter and receiver. Err.003 Err.004 Err.005 Err.006 Err.007 18 Do Not Duplicate or Redistribute Troubleshooting Issue No Sound Faint sound or distortion Lack of range, unwanted noise bursts, or dropouts Cannot turn transmitter off or change frequency settings, or can't program receiver Power Make sure that the receiver and transmitter are receiving sufficient volt-

age. Check the battery indicators. Replace or recharge the batteries if necessary. Gain Adjust the system gain on the front of the receiver. Ensure the mic/line switch setting (XLR output only) on the back of the receiver corresponds to the input of the mixing console, amplifier, or processor. Cables Check that all cables and connectors are fully engaged or locked into position. Inspect cables for damage. Replace if necessary. Interface Locks The transmitter and the receiver can be locked to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes. If a locked control is accessed, the lock icon on the display will flash. Follow the instructions to unlock the receiver or transmitter. SeeSolution... Power, Cables, or Radio Frequency Gain, Cables, Reducing Interference or Radio Frequency RF Interface locks Frequency Compatibility Perform a Scan and Sync to ensure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel or frequency 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 scan to find the best open frequency. Perform an IR sync to transfer the settings to the transmitter. For multiple systems, make sure that each receiver is assigned to a unique channel. Interference will occur if two receivers are set to the same channel. 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). Firmware Mismatch Paired transmitters and receivers must have the same firmware version installed to ensure consistent operation. See Firmware Updates topic for firmware update procedure. Increasing Range Increase transmitter RF power level. Use an active directional antenna, antenna distribution system, or other antenna accessory to increase RF range. Radio Frequency (RF) The blue RF LED will illuminate when a linked transmitter is within range of the receiver. Measure the transmitter range before a performance to avoid operating beyond the specified transmitter range. The RF meter bars indicate amount of RF power being received. This signal could be from the transmitter, or it could be from an interfering source, such as a television broadcast. If the meter shows a signal level when the transmitter is off, then that channel may have interfer-

ence. Check the surrounding area for sources of interference or change the receiver to a clear frequency. A red RF LED indicates RF overload. Avoid operating multiple systems in close proximity. EliminatingRFOverload If the RF OL appears on the RF meter, try the following:

Reduce the transmitter RF power level Move the transmitter further away from the receiverat least 6 m (20 ft) If you are using active antennas, reduce antenna or amplifier gain.
