Networking a Spectrum Manager and Receivers
The Spectrum Manager uses an Ethernet connection to deploy frequencies to networked components. For automatic network configuration, use a DHCP enabled Ethernet
switch such as the AXT620 or an Ethernet router with DHCP service. Use multiple Ethernet switches to extend the network for larger installations.
ON
OFF
DHCP
Shure
AXT620
Multiple device network example using the Shure
AXT620 Ethernet switch
Note: For smaller systems, connect the Spectrum
Manager and receivers using the Ethernet ports on
the back panel. The devices fall back to compatible
addresses if the IP Mode is set to Automatic and
there is no DHCP server.
RF Coordination Wizard
The Spectrum Manager includes a wizard to provide guided device and frequency configuration. Choose one of the following setup task options:
All New
Use the All New option for initial RF coordination.
• Finds receivers and other devices on the
network to manage
• Scans the RF spectrum for available
frequencies
• Calculates a compatible frequency list
(CFL) to match the needs of the networked
devices
• Deploys frequencies to the managed
devices
Automatic IP Addressing
1. If using a Shure AXT620 Ethernet switch, set the DHCP switch to ON.
2. Set the IP mode to automatic for all devices (Util > Network > Mode > Automatic)
Manual IP Addressing
1. Connect the Spectrum Manager and receivers to an Ethernet switch.
2. Set the IP Mode to Manual for all devices:
• Menu: Util > Network
• Use the control wheel to set valid IP addresses for all devices. Set the subnet
mask for all devices to the same value.
Troubleshooting
Use only one DHCP server per network
All devices must share the same subnet mask
All devices must have the same level of firmware
revision installed
Look for the network icons on the display of each
device:
• If the icon is not there, check the cable
connection and the LEDs on the network jack.
• If the LEDs are not on and the cable is plugged
in, replace the cable and recheck the LEDs and
network icon.
Use the Find All utility (Util > Network > Find All) to
view devices on the network:
• The Find All report lists all devices on the
network.
• Check the IP address for devices not shown in
the Find All report to ensure that they are on the
same subnet.
Update Freqs
Use the Update Freqs option to refresh the fre-
quencies for an existing wireless system.
• Scans the RF spectrum for available
frequencies
• Calculates the compatible frequency list
(CFL) to match the needs of the networked
devices
• Deploys frequencies to the managed
devices

To check connectivity of WWB6 to the network:
1. Start WWB6 software and use Inventory view to see
devices connected to the network.
2. If not, find the IP address from one of the devices on
the network (such as an AXT400 receiver) and see if
you can ping it from the computer running 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 see the device on the network. If the
ping returns failure (100% packet loss), then check
the IP address of the computer to ensure it's on the
same subnet as the device.
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.
Update Devices
Use the Update Devices option when adding new
devices to a wireless system.
• Finds devices on the network to manage
• Deploys frequencies from the existing
compatible frequency list (CFL) to the
managed devices
