Known Issues

• Installer processes may fail during upgrade
  • Workaround: Allow the uninstaller process to finish, then restart installation
• After a device firmware installation and a “device version to install” version stops at “Discovering...”
  • Workaround: Unplug the POE cable from the device, wait about 5 seconds, and then plug the POE cable back in to restore the device.
• Issue ID# 5935: Default file names may be rejected by Windows or macOS due to operating system file naming constraints.
  • Workaround: Rename the file that was saved in Mac and open it in Windows.
• Issue ID# 6263: User may encounter missing devices and routes when trying to open a saved file during deployment flow.
  • Workaround: Close and reopen Designer, then try to open the file.
• Issue ID# 6298: When resizing or selecting the coverage area, then trying to reposition it, the coverage may momentarily jump to the original position and then back to the new position.
  • Workaround: Rate of occurrence is sporadic, contact Shure Customer Support team for assistance if anomaly is persistent.
• Issue ID# 6394: In the MXA920 S/R, reset to default option is not working as expected when added coverages are hidden one by one after adding them. and then clicking on reset to default option in properties panel.
  • Workaround: Switch tabs then return to the coverage tab.
• Issue ID# 6450: Room conflict dialog may not appear in an online password protected room if a device is not online or missing, and user may be unable to remove the missing device.
  • Workaround: User must get the missing device online; otherwise, move online devices to a new room.
• Issue ID# 6460: User may encounter a delay on password selection deploying to devices with and without passwords set.
  • Workaround: Wait 7-10 seconds for the password selection options to become available.
• Issue ID# 6462: User is unable to set a common device password in an online room when room contains some device with passwords and some devices without passwords.
  • Workaround: Use the deployment workflow to set and synchronize the room password. Otherwise, individually remove each device’s password so that all devices are not password protected and reset the room password.
• Issue ID# 6466: When working with Virtual room and not adding or removing a device (i.e. changing a device mute state), device settings will not be saved.
  • Workaround: Save the design file manually after configuring settings.
• Issue ID# 6470: In the coverage view, the MXA310 property panel may not refresh after setting device properties.
  • Workaround: Switch tabs and return to the coverage view.
• Issue ID# 6476: When using streamlined deployment with MXA-MUTE, the latest audio rout changes may not be reflected in the online room.
  • Workaround: Use standard deployment when deploying a room that contains a MXA-MUTE device.
• Issue ID# 6477: It is possible to start import or clear of multiple P300 device presets at the same time, and this could result in a failure to import or clear.
  • Workaround: If user encounters a failure, wait for 30 seconds, then retry the operation and it will be successful.
