Using the System Presets function in the Lake Controller, entire system congurations can be stored and

recalled across a network of Lake devices, including D Series Lake, LM, PLM and PLM+ Series devices. This

enables fast retrieval and switching of entire system congurations as minimal data is being sent between the

Controller and Processors.

13. System conﬁguration tutorial

This section will describe how to get started with associated software and set up a basic system for operation.

13.1. Network setup

13.1.1. Network connections/topology

Each frame has two network ports; a primary and a secondary. See the below diagram for a typical network

topology using the primary ports.

By default, the secondary ports are congured in dual redundancy mode to support a second redundant network.

The alternate conguration for the two ports is a switch mode which allows daisy–chaining devices in a single

network. Daisy chain mode is not recommended for more than a few devices, and for not more than two if running

Dante audio along with control data.

NOTE: If using Dante audio in the network, the audio trafc needs to be ltered from reaching the wireless links.

13.1.2. Network conﬁguration

Frames are congured by default to obtain IP addresses automatically. The frame will assign itself an IP address

in the link local range (169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255). If a computer is congured the same way
