13. Quick Start Tutorial16PLM+ SERIES Quick Start Guide rev 1.0.013. Quick Start TutorialThis section will describe how to get started with associated software and set up a basic system for operation.13.1. Network setup13.1.1. Network connections / topologyEach frame has two network ports; a primary and a secondary. See the below diagram for a typical networktopology using the primary ports.By default, the secondary ports are configured in dual redundancy mode to support a second redundant network.The alternate configuration for the two ports is a switch mode which allows daisy-chaining devices in a singlenetwork. Daisy chain mode is not recommended for more than a few devices, and for not more than two if runningDante audio along with control data.Note: If using Dante audio in the network, the audio traffic needs to be filtered from reaching thewireless links.13.1.2. Network configurationFrames are configured by default to obtain IP addresses automatically. The frame will assign itself an IP addressin the link local range (169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255). If a computer is configured the same way(which should be default on modern operating systems), it will reside in the same subnet as the devices andcommunication can be established. Alternate configurations would be DHCP for a managed network or fixed IP.To connect to the secondary network in dual redundancy mode the computer shall be configured with an IPaddress in the 172.31.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 range.ComputerPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesPLM+ SeriesSwitchWirelessAccess PointSwitch
