Networking Receivers

Basic Network

Connect receivers to an Ethernet router with DHCP service. Use Ethernet switches to

extend the network for larger installations.
Use the receiver’s default network setting
(Util > Network > Mode = DHCP).

Accessing the Network with a Computer

If you want to use the Wireless Workbench software, connect your computer to the

network and install the software from the CD that came with the receiver. Make sure

your computer is configured for DHCP (from Control Panel, click Network Connections.

Double-click on Local Area Connection. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click

Properties. Select Obtain IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address

automatically and click OK).

NOTE: Some security software or firewall settings on your computer can

prevent you from connecting to the receivers. If using firewall software, allow

connections on port 2201.

Using USB...
Connect the computer to the USB port on any of the receivers to access the whole

network.

Static IP Addressing

The receiver also supports static IP addressing. Assign your own IP addresses ( Util > Network > Mode = Manual). See “Network

Parameters” on page 10.

NOTE: Dual receivers use a single IP address, which may be set through either LCD interface.

Both Shure’s UHF-R receivers and legacy UHF receivers can be networked to the same PC and accessed using the latest Wireless Workbench
