wireless control of the Lake devices will be required on the same network that is transmitting and receiving
Dante digital audio signals.
To achieve this, you must congure the Ethernet switch on the boundary of the wireless network to lter
Dante trafc from reaching the wireless access point or other lower bandwidth devices (e.g. legacy devices
such as the Contour Pro 26 or Mesa Quad EQ), or you will most likely experience communication problems.
The diagram below summarizes the desired outcome from correctly conguring your Ethernet switch to

3.6.4 Dante with Quality of Service Ethernet Switches
The use of an external Ethernet switch with QoS (Quality of Service) is strongly recommended when using
Dante digital audio over your Lake network. Dante uses standard network QoS techniques available in
off-the-shelf Ethernet switches to prioritize clocking and audio trafc, and to allow non-Dante devices such
as personal computers to share a single network with Dante devices. The diagram below shows the order of
priority given to the different types of data packets going through the switch. Using a switch without QoS,
