Use dedicated networks for LA NWM and L-ISA.
L-ISA Controller receives data on UDP port 8880. This is required to connect to the L-ISA Processor, L-ISA Plugins, or any
external control device (Desklink, Trackers, OSC).
For L-ISA Plugins to work, the hosting DAW and L-ISA Controller need to be able to use UDP port 9438 over multicast IP
address 239.255.139.81. If using managed switches, make sure that IGMP settings are properly congured for multicast
trafc.
For license activation, L-ISA Controller needs to be able to connect to an HTTPS server.
For L-ISA Processor based emergency activation, the L-ISA Controller and L-ISA Processor need to be able to use UDP port
11389 over multicast IP address 239.255.84.167.

The L-ISA Processor supports APIPA.
If there is no DHCP server, devices will automatically self-assign an IP address and the system will remain
operational. This process is called Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA).
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains some special range of IP addresses (269.254.x.y)
solely for private use. They are guaranteed not to conict with routable addresses.
