WARNING /!\
LA
Network Manager software, LA4 and LA8 firmware and preset libraries
files may require version compatibility. Before installing NETWORK
MANAGER software, LA4 and LA8 firmware and libraries, please
read the readme files attached in the downloads packages.
From
a PC Windows®-operating system, the L-ACOUSTICS® LA NETWORK
MANAGER Remote Control Software provides network control and monitoring
of up to 253 L-ACOUSTICS® LA4 and/or LA8 amplified controllers
within the L-ACOUSTICS® L-NET network.
The
proprietary L-ACOUSTICS® L-NET network allows for easily configuring
multiple Ethernet network topologies, using CAT5e STP cables (or
higher categories) and standard RJ45 connectors. The use of a
universal Ethernet switcher is recommended for specific network
topologies.
Access
to all settings such as Mute, Gain, Delay, Polarity, and Preset
can be done via the remote software interface. Contour EQ settings
are also available allowing quick and easy tonal balance of the
loudspeaker system.
LA
Network Manager also features system stand-by and initialization
control in addition to comprehensive visual monitoring of the
audio signal paths and quick detection of any faults in the attached
network.
LA
Network Manager allows two possible workflows: Offline and Online
Modes. Off site, the Offline Mode allows the user to configure
a complete sound system in terms of units, groups, presets, settings,
etc...
When
present onsite, the Online Mode allows the engineer to send or
retrieve the data between the network units and the PC. Online
mode offers real time control of each unit in the Network.
Each
LA4/LA8 carries its own and complete onboard OEM Preset Library.
As preset libraries are updated on a regular basis, Network Manager
allows the engineer to benefit from the latest up to date revisions
and preset upgrades.
Each
unit is managed by a Linux based firmware allowing for future
developments on LA4 and LA8. NETWORK MANAGER features a utility
module for quick and easy firmware upgrades on amplified controllers.
