Using the System Presets function in the Lake Controller, entire system configurations 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 configurations 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 configured in dual redundancy mode to support a second redundant network.
The alternate configuration 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 traffic needs to be filtered from reaching the wireless links.
13.1.2. Network configuration
Frames are configured 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 configured the same way
