Network & Firewall Overview
3.6 Dante and AES67 Digital Audio Networking
Dante and AES67 provide multi-channel digital audio networking over standard a standard Ethernet network,
alongside control data for the Lake network. Various topics relating to network conguration 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/
AES67 is a new open standard making it possible connect more devices together and share audio.
3.6.1 Dante Controller Compatibility
All devices are compatible with Audinate’s Dante Controller software (not applicable for MY8-LAKE).
AES67 conguration for AES67-enabled devices are also done in Dante Controller.
Changes made via the Lake Controller will be reected 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 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 Conguration option.
3.6.2 Dual Redundant Network Conguration
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 conguration allows for
fail-over to the secondary network should a problem occur with the primary network. AES67 audio can only
be transmitted and received on the Primary network. For PLM+ and D Series devices, it is also possible to
manually congure the IP Conguration for the secondary network via Lake Controller Technical Data.
Do not connect Controllers to the primary and
secondary network connections simultaneously.
