D SERIES Lake Operation Manual rev 3.0.3
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.

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
