Command Strings for the MXW System

The most recent version of this document can be found at:

http://shure.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5207

The MXW System is connected via Ethernet to a control system, such as AMX or Crestron.

Connection: Ethernet (TCP/IP; select “Client” in the AMX/Crestron program)

Port: 2202

If using static IP addresses, make certain that the “Control” and the “Network Audio” settings are both set to static

in the APT (Access Point) GUI. It is necessary to set the Charger IP address before setting the APT IP address.

See the MXW User Guide for instructions.

The MXW System has 4 types of strings, as follows:

1. GET – The GET command is used to find the status of a parameter. After the AMX/Crestron sends a GET

command, the MXW System responds with a REPORT string.

2. SET – The SET command is used to change the status of a parameter. After the AMX/Crestron sends a

SET command, the MXW System will respond with a REPORT string to indicate the new value of

the parameter.

3. REP – When the MXW receives a GET or SET command, it will reply with a REPORT command to

indicate the status of the parameter. REPORT is also sent by the MXW System when a parameter

is changed via the front panel or via the GUI.

4. SAMPLE – Used for metering RF levels and audio levels.

All messages sent and received are ASCII. Note that the level indicators and gain indicators are also in ASCII.

Most parameters will send a REPORT command then they change. Thus, it is not necessary to constantly query

battery or button status parameters. The APT will send a REPORT command when any of these parameters

change.

Almost all commands are sent back and forth to the APT. The APT then relays these commands to the

microphones. Thus, for control, simply send commands to the IP address associated with the APT.
