AD610 ShowLink Access Point
The AD610 ShowLink access point enables real-time remote control of all ShowLink-enabled Axient™ transmit
ters, including both digital and analog models. The access point allows comprehensive management of transmitter
parameters from the receiver or Wireless Workbench 6 using 2.4 GHz wireless network communication. All para
meter changes occur without interruption to the performer.
Multiple access points can extend the operational range or increase the number of transmitters supported on the
ShowLink network. The access point also features true diversity antenna inputs.
Features
•Real-time wireless remote control of up to 24 transmitters per ShowLink access point
•New RF design and true diversity antenna scheme for improved link performance
• Easy transmitter authentication—Recognizes linked transmitters upon IR sync
• Provides coverage area approximately the same as the transmitter’s range
•Automatic hand-offs between multiple access points extend operating range

ShowLink Basics
ShowLink Channels and 2.4 GHz Spectrum
ShowLink channels that enable remote control of Axient transmitters operate in the 2.40 to 2.484 GHz portion of
the RF spectrum in accordance with the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol. Devices that share the 2.4 GHz spectrum, includ
ing Wi-Fi, are manufactured to efficiently share the spectrum and cause minimal interference. Both ShowLink and
WiFi use "listen before talk" technology to transmit short message packets only when needed to conserve band
width. Available spectrum, low interference, and global availability make the 2.4 GHz spectrum an ideal choice for
hosting ShowLink channels.
Within the 2.4 GHz spectrum, 16 channels are available for ShowLink communication. To ensure reliable commu
nication, the access point contains an internal scanning radio that analyzes the 2.4 GHz spectrum hundreds of
times per second. If interference is detected, the access point uses channel agility to automatically switch to a
clear channel within the spectrum. All transmitters associated with the access point will continue to communicate
uninterrupted on the new ShowLink channel. If ShowLink goes offline for any reason, audio transmission will not
be interrupted.
Coverage Area
The coverage area of the access point is approximately the same as the transmitter’s range. Use the ShowLink
Test feature in the receiver menu to map the boundaries of the coverage area. Multiple access points can be used
to increase the coverage area or to expand coverage to multiple rooms.
Transmitter Capacity
A single access point supports up to 24 ShowLink-enabled Axient transmitters, including both Axient and Axient
Digital models. Any transmitter within range of an active access point with available capacity will be automatically
controlled by that access point. When multiple access points are used to increase transmitter capacity or to in
crease coverage area, transmitter control is automatically divided between each access point. All changes in con
trol between access points occur seamlessly and automatically, without requiring user intervention.
Transmitter Control
An access point with available capacity will automatically control linked transmitters that are within the coverage
area. Multiple access points automatically selfmanage to divide transmitter control and maintain coverage. Transi
tions between access point control do not affect the transmission of the audio channel.

2.4 GHz Channel Agility to Avoid Interference
When interference is present from WiFi or other devices sharing the spectrum, builtin channel agility automatical
ly switches the access point and all controlled transmitters to a clear channel. Channel agility is able to avoid inter
ference from most devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz spectrum, such as Wi-Fi or cell phones.
ShowLink Icon
The ShowLink icon appears on the home screens of a linked transmitter and receiver to indicate that the transmit
ter is within range of an access point making remote control possible. If the transmitter is beyond the range of the
access point, or if the receiver is offline, the icon will disappear, indicating a loss of ShowLink control.
Power
The access point is powered through Power Over Ethernet (PoE)-enabled network ports. If PoE is not available,
use an external power supply.
Power Over Ethernet
The Shure Ethernet switch and Axient rack components offer network ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE). The
network port powers the access point as long as the host component is powered on.
1. Insert a Cat 5 Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port located on the body of the access point.
2. The Ethernet PoE connection supplies power for the access point.
External Power Supply (Optional)
If Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not available, power the access point using an external power supply.
1. Connect the power supply to the external power supply jack.
2. Tighten the locking ring to secure the plug.
3. Plug the power supply AC line cord into an AC power source.
4. Connect a Cat 5 Ethernet cable to the access point to provide a network connection.

Networking
Networking the access point using a DHCPenabled router automatically assigns an IP address, simplifying net
work setup. The network connection allows the access point to share data with networked components and en
ables wireless control of the transmitters. To manually assign an IP address to the access point, use Wireless
Workbench 6.
Reset Option
Pressing the reset button located on the bottom of the housing restores the access point to the following settings:
•IP Address Mode = DHCP
•Channel Agility = Enabled
•Device ID = AD610
•Device Association Tables will be cleared
Positioning the Access Point
• Provide a clear line of sight between the access point and transmitters. Mount the access point on a micro
phone stand or wall to elevate above obstructions.
•Position the antennas vertically for optimal performance. The swivel joint on each antenna allows a wide range
of positioning to maintain a vertical alignment.
•If possible, move access point farther from other 2.4 GHz devices.
•This product is intended to be mounted with a ¼"-20 threaded insert and installed by a qualified person with
suitable mounting means as appropriate for wall surface chosen.

Control and Configure the Access Point with Wireless Work
bench 6
Wireless Workbench 6 adds the following configuration and networking options for the access point:
•Edit Device ID
•View connected transmitters
•View transmitter capacity
•Disable channel agility for troubleshooting
•Set IP Address Mode: DHCP or Manual
•Set IP Address: Edit in Manual Address Mode
•View and set subnet mask
•View MAC address
Tip: The text color of the Device ID for each transmitter in the Connected list indicates Link Quality:
•Green = Excellent
•Yellow = Good
•Red = Marginal
Hovering the cursor over the Device ID displays Link Quality ranked from 5 to 1.
Setting Power Levels
To adjust the power level, use Wireless Workbench. In locations with many competing 2.4 GHz sources, operating
at a higher power level improves ShowLink performance and may extend range.
•Normal (default) = Operates at 8 dBm
•High = Operates at 18 dBm
1. Open the Properties panel for the access point in Wireless Workbench.
2. Click the Settings arrow, and select Network.
3. Choose a power level and click Apply.
Note:
•Always check regional regulations before operating in the high power setting.
•Due to regulations, Channel 26 can only operate in the normal power setting.
