Connecting Shure Devices to Wireless Workbench

Wireless Workbench lets you control and monitor devices over the network. To get started, visit www.shure.com/wwb and download Wireless Workbench software. Wireless Workbench communicates with connected devices over a standard Ethernet network.
Required equipment: Shure device, computer with Wireless Workbench installed, Cat 5 (or better) Ethernet cable, and router or network switch
1. Connect the device to your computer with a shielded Cat 5 (or better) Ethernet cable to ensure reliable network performance. If you have multiple devices to manage, connect each device to a router or network switch. The Ethernet port LEDs on your device will illuminate to indicate network connectivity. Verify that Shure devices can see each other by looking for the network connectivity icon on the front panel (location varies).
2. For most applications, use the Automatic mode (default) to let your switch or router assign an IP address using DHCP addressing. If no DHCP server is present, your devices will fall back to a link-local address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. If you need to assign specific IP addresses, set the IP mode to Manual in the Network menu. Find model-specific instructions at http://shure-community.custhelp.com/posts/a21b97f121.
3. Open Wireless Workbench software.
4. Select a Network Interface in the pop-up window. Choose the network that most closely matches the Ethernet port where your devices are connected.
5. Your device will appear in the Inventory tab when the connection is successful.

Configuration Tips

Check your firewall settings to make sure Wireless Workbench has access to your network
Use multiple Ethernet switches to extend the network for larger installations

Monitoring Batteries with Wireless Workbench
Wireless Workbench provides detailed battery information for each transmitter.
Click the Inventory tab to view the networked charging station in Wireless Workbench.
Shure IncorporatedSBC450 SBC850 4- and 8-Bay Networked Charging Stations
Each tab in the charger panel provides different battery statistics:
Charge
Displays charge as a percentage of the total battery capacity. Also shows time remaining to full charge.
Health
Displays health of selected battery as a percentage of the charge capacity of a new battery. Charge capacity (battery life when fully charged) will decline as a result of repeated charge cycles, age, or storage conditions.
Cycle
Displays total number of times that the battery has undergone one full count of discharge and charge. Recharging after discharging halfway counts as one half of a cycle. Recharging after discharging a quarter of the way counts as one quarter of a cycle.
Temperature
Displays battery temperature (in Celsius and Fahrenheit) and status.
