Network & Firewall Overview
3.6 Dante Digital Audio Networking
Dante provides multi-channel digital audio networking over standard a standard Ethernet network, alongside
control data for the Lake network. Various topics relating to network configuration are summarized in this
section; for further details please refer to associated Dante literature available via:
Start > All Programs > Lake Controller vX.X > Documentation > Dante Documentation after installing the
Lake Controller software.
Additional Dante product information is available at the Audinate website: http://www.audinate.com/
3.6.1 Dante Controller Compatibility
All devices are compatible with Audinate’s Dante Controller software (not applicable for MY8-LAKE)
Changes made via the Lake Controller will be reflected in the Dante Controller and vice-versa:
▸ When both the Lake Controller and Dante are active, changes will synchronize immediately across both
software controllers and affected devices.
▸ When Dante-related parameters are changed via the Lake Controller while the Dante Controller is
disconnected or closed, the Dante Controller will inherit the the change the next time it is connected or
opened.
▸ When Dante-related parameters are changed via the Dante Controller while the Lake Controller is
disconnected or closed, the Lake Controller will identify the Frames as Out of Sync the next time it is
connected, or opened using the Recall Last System Configuration option.
3.6.2 Dual Redundant Network Configuration
With dual redundancy activated, the Controller can be connected to the secondary network connection
using an IP address in the range 172.31.x.x. on the Lake Controller computer. This configuration allows for
fail-over to the secondary network should a problem occur with the primary network.
Do not connect Controllers to the primary and
secondary network connections simultaneously.
3.6.3 Using Dante with Wireless Data Control or Low-Bandwidth Devices
Dante (Digital Audio Networking) technology requires a reliable 100 Mbps (or faster) network to operate, and
therefore cannot operate via a wireless transmitter/receiver. However, in most Lake networks, it is likely that
