Lake Controller Operation Manual Rev 1.5.9

Network & Firewall Overview

or with QoS turned off on a busy network, may result in audio packets arriving too late to be played out,

resulting in audio glitches.

Figure 3-13: Dante Quality of Service Switch Conguration

Please refer to the Audinate document AUD-ANO-QoS Switch Conguration for further details regarding

ACL packet ltering. This document is 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/

3.6.5 Recommended Network Topologies When Using Dante

The use of an external Ethernet 100 Mbps switch with QoS (Quality of Service) is highly recommended. It

is also recommended that each device has its own direct connection to that switch. Where switches are

connected together, this should be achieved via a gigabit ber or copper connection.
