3.4.1 Overview
The Lake Controller host computer can be connected directly to any Lake device through the Ethernet con-
nectors. Multiple devices can be connected by cascading connections between units, although this is not a
recommended solution for the successful use of Dante
™
(Digital Audio Networking via Ethernet). Connecting
devices via a good quality external Ethernet switch with QoS is highly recommended. Please refer to tutorial
section 4.3.6 for further information regarding Dante, and section 3.6.4 for details on using QoS with Dante.
The Lake Controller can be connected to a network of Lake devices using a wired or wireless Ethernet
solution. A wired network is a simpler, faster and more robust solution and should be implemented where
possible in preference to using a wireless system. Additionally, when implementing Dante audio networking
in conjunction with a wireless access point for Lake Controller data, additional conguration of an external
