⑨ Network Interface
Four-port gigabit switch for connecting components together for a single
MXW Group, or for connecting multiple devices to a larger digital audio
network. The following is a description of each port:
Port Description
Port 1
(PoE)
Provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) for the Shure
access point and functions as a standard gigabit port.
Ports 2
and 3
Standard gigabit ports enable the connection of another
MXW network, additional MXWANIs, a MXWNCS
charging stations or an external control system.
Port 4
(Uplink)
• Normal mode (default): this port functions the same as
ports 2 and 3.
• Uplink Mode: only transports control data. This
mode blocks network audio and data for Shure Web
Discovery Application, Dante Controller and Dante
Virtual Soundcard.
