Ethernet and Power Connectors

Primary Network Connector – The primary Neutrik RJ45 etherCON® connection provides integration into
an Ethernet control network which may include other Lake Processors and the Lake Controller software. Network
connection permits full control of all functions along with real-time metering from a remote position. This device
supports the Dante audio networking protocol for multichannel, high-defi nition digital audio over the same Ethernet
connection.
Use the primary connector when using a star network topology, consisting of individual Cat-5e connections
between the devices and an Ethernet switch. Alternatively, this connection can be used to daisy chain directly to
another Lake Processor. The daisy chain topology should not be used with Dante.
For a technical reference of the Ethernet Port, please refer to the full PLM+ Series Operation Manual. Additional
information is also available in the Lake Network Confi guration Guide.
Note: Additional processor confi guration is required for a dual redundant network setup. See the Lake
Controller Operation Manual for further details.
Note: Do not create a closed loop when confi guring multiple devices in an Ethernet network; this will
cause a network malfunction.
6
Secondary Network Connector – The secondary network connector can be used to daisy-chain multiple
PLM+ Series devices. Alternatively, a Dante dual-network topology can be created by connecting all secondary
network connectors to a separate Ethernet switch, ensuring full redundancy in the event of a network component
failure.
7
Mains Power Connector – AC mains input for the PLM20K44 and PLM12K44 is via a Neutrik powerCON
connector, rated at 32A. Connector mates with supplied AC mains cable. PLM5K44 uses a standard IEC locking
connector. See previous section on Operating Voltage for more information.
