Scan and IR Sync
The simplest way to create an audio channel is to use the scan function to find the best available receiver channel,
and then use the IR sync feature to automatically tune the transmitter to the receiver channel.
Step 1: Scanning to Find the Best Channel
The Scan function automatically selects the best available receiver channel.
1. Navigate to the Scan menu option.
2. Press enter to start the scan.
When the scan is complete, the receiver will automatically be set to the best available channel.
Step 2: IR Sync for Automatic Transmitter Set Up
Performing an IR Sync automatically tunes the transmitter to match the receiver frequency, forming a wireless audio
channel.
1. Press the sync button on the receiver. The red ir LED will blink indicating that sync mode is active.
2. Align the IR sync windows of the transmitter and receiver at a distance of <15 cm (6 in.). When the transmitter and
receiver are aligned, the red ir LED remains on and the sync will automatically occur.
3. sync good appears on the display when IR sync is complete. The blue rf LED will illuminate indicating that the
transmitter is within range of the receiver.
Note: If the IR sync fails, repeat the IR sync procedure, carefully maintaining alignment between the IR windows of the transmitter
and receiver.

Note: Group settings are not available in all regions - use channel settings to configure components.
Manual Group and Channel Assignment
An audio channel can be manually created by simply setting the receiver and transmitter to the same group number and channel number. For example,
a receiver set to Group 2, Channel 3 and a transmitter set to Group 2, Channel 3 would form an audio channel.
Use manual group and channel configuration to assign specific groups and channels to receivers and transmitters as an alternative method to automati-
cally creating channels with IR sync.
Use the following steps to set the group and channel in the receiver and transmitter:
1. Navigate to the group setting
2. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the groups.
3. Press enter to select a group.
4. Next, Use the arrow buttons to select a channel.

Creating Audio Channels
A wireless audio channel is formed when a receiver and transmitter are tuned to the same frequency. To ease setup, frequencies available to the
QLX-D system are organized into groups and channels. Each group contains a number of channels, and each channel is assigned to a specific preset
frequency.
The QLX-D system provides 3 methods for tuning the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency:
• Scan and IR Sync: The receiver scans the RF spectrum for the best available frequency and an IR sync automatically tunes the transmitter to the
receiver frequency
• Manual Group and Channel Assignment: Manually setting the receiver and transmitter to the same group and channel number to form an audio
channel
• Manual Frequency Assignment: Manually setting the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency rather than group and channel to form an
audio channel

Networking
The receiver uses an Ethernet connection to network with other components and includes an internal DHCP client for automatic network configuration
when connected to a DHCP enabled router.
Setting the IP Address and Subnet Address Manually
IP addresses and Subnet addresses can be manually set from the advanced menu in the receiver or from the monitor panel in Wireless Workbench 6.
Network settings entered manually must be valid and conform to IP protocols to ensure proper network communication.
Receiver Menu
IP addresses and subnet addresses contain 4 groups of numbers. Each group and contain up to 3 digits. A decimal point separates each group.
When setting an IP address or subnet address, each of the 4 groups must be edited individually. The following diagram shows how the groups are
mapped to the receiver display:
Connecting to a Network
1. Insert an Ethernet cable in the Ethernet port on the rear of the receiver.
2. Connect the cable to a computer or router.
3. The port LEDs on the receiver will illuminate to indicate network con-
nectivity and network traffic.
Network Troubleshooting
• Use only one DHCP server per network
• All devices must share the same subnet mask
• All receivers must have the same level of firmware revision installed
• Look for the illuminated network icon on the front panel of each
device:
If the icon is not illuminated, check the cable connection and the LEDs
on the Ethernet port.
If the Ethernet port LEDs are not illuminated and the cable is plugged
in, replace the cable and recheck the LEDs and network icon.
To check connectivity of WWB6 to the network:
1. Start WWB6 software and use Inventory view to see devices con-
nected to the network.
2. If not, find the IP address from one of the devices on the network
(such as a receiver) and see if you can ping it from the computer run-
ning 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
communicate with the device on the network. If the ping returns failure
(100% packet loss), then verify that the IP address of the computer is
on the same subnet as the receiver.
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.
Configuration Tips
• Use shielded Cat 5 or better Ethernet cables to ensure reliable network
performance
• The LEDs on the Ethernet port illuminate indicating a network
connection is active
• The network icon illuminates when the receiver detects other Shure
devices on the network
• All components must operate on the same subnet
• Use multiple Ethernet switches to extend the network for larger
installations
Automatic IP Addressing
1. Enable a DHCP service on the server or use a DHCP enabled router.
2. When the receiver is powered on, the DHCP server will automatically
assign an IP address to the receiver.
Tip: Use the network reset option available in the advanced features menu to re-
turn the receiver to the default DHCP addressing mode.
1. Press menu while holding the enter button to access the advanced menu.
2. Press the menu button to navigate to the IP menu.
3. Use the arrow buttons to set the mode to St and press enter.

Firmware Mismatch
Paired transmitters and receivers must have the same firmware version
installed to ensure consistent operation. See Firmware Updates topic for
firmware update procedure.
Radio Frequency (RF)
The blue RF LED will illuminate when a linked transmitter is within range
of the receiver. Measure the transmitter range before a performance to
avoid operating beyond the specified transmitter range.
The RF meter bars indicate amount of RF power being received. This
signal could be from the transmitter, or it could be from an interfering
source, such as a television broadcast. If the meter shows a signal
level when the transmitter is off, then that channel may have interfer-
ence. Check the surrounding area for sources of interference or change
the receiver to a clear frequency.
A red RF LED indicates RF overload. Avoid operating multiple systems in
close proximity.
Frequency Compatibility
• Perform a Scan and Sync to ensure the transmitter and receiver are
set to the same channel or frequency
• Look at the label on the transmitter and receiver to make sure they are
in the same band (G50, J50, L50, etc...).
Reducing Interference
• Perform a scan to find the best open frequency. Perform an IR sync to
transfer the settings to the transmitter.
• For multiple systems, make sure that each receiver is assigned to a
unique channel. Interference will occur if two receivers are set to the
same channel.
• Maintain a line of sight between transmitter and receiver antennas.
• Move receiver antennas away from metal objects or other sources
of RF interference (such as CD players, computers, digital effects,
network switches, network cables and Personal Stereo Monitor (PSM)
wireless systems).
• Eliminate RF overload (see below).
Increasing Range
• Increase transmitter RF power level.
• Use an active directional antenna, antenna distribution system, or
other antenna accessory to increase RF range.
Eliminating RF Overload
If the RF OL appears on the RF meter, try the following:
• Reduce the transmitter RF power level
• Move the transmitter further away from the receiver—at least 6 m (20
ft)
• If you are using active antennas, reduce antenna or amplifier gain.
• Use omnidirectional antennas
