er installation or using control software. When ADX5D is in direct mode, you can control up to 16 Axient Digital ADX-series
transmitters (8 per channel) from a single ADX5D receiver.
Note: An ADX5D in direct mode has no connection to any control applications (e.g. Wireless Workbench or Channels) or devices other than transmitters (e.g.
Axient Digital receivers or AD610 access points).
Automatic or Manual ShowLink Channel Selection
When your device is in direct mode, the ShowLink radio will scan the 2.4 GHz spectrum and pick the best channel to operate
on. The device will use this channel until the next boot time. You can update your settings to choose a specific channel instead
by going to Device Configuration > ShowLink > SL Direct Config > SL Ch Selection, selecting Manual,andenter
ing the ShowLink channel you want the device to operate on.
ShowLink Channel Mask
If your receiver is in automatic channel selection mode, you can set a ShowLink channel mask to dictate channels to use or
avoid. Go to Device Configuration > ShowLink > SL Direct Config > SL Ch Mask (Auto) to select "Use" or "Avoid"
for each individual ShowLink channel.
Network Mode
Use network mode to connect the ADX5D to an existing Shure network and take advantage of the full features of an Axient

bench. In network mode, your ShowLink communications are routed through an AD610 access point, which increases device
capacity and ShowLink range as well as enabling features that depend on connection to a larger network.
Note: The ADX5D is compatible with the AD610 ShowLink access point.
