Programming options

PRAESENSA products incorporates field‑programmable software. In order for the products to
comply with the requirements in the Standard for Control Units and Accessoiries for Mass
Notification systems, UL2572, certain programming features or options must be limited to
specific values or not used at all as indicated in chapter Programming settings, page 132 .
6.1

Check/upload device firmware

All (new) PRAESENSA network devices are delivered with firmware. Initial, the network
devices are delivered with factory firmware and need to be upgraded. All devises need to be
upgraded to the latest available online version.
The device firmware is incorporated in the *.zip file.
Notice!
i
Devices should only be upgraded when the system is not in use.
6.2

Ethernet adapter settings

The PRAESENSA system supports redundant network cabling when Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (RSTP) is enabled. By default RSTP is enabled because a PRAESENSA system is, for
UL864 and UL2572 compliance, mandatory installed in a redundant network. IMPORTANT:
When having RSTP disabled, and a redundant network installed, the system will not function.
See the PRAESENSA installation manual.
Notice!
How to set up PRAESENSA in an Ethernet network is outside the scope of this manual. To
i
prevent network failures in both PRAESENSA and in a Ethernet network where RSTP is not
supported or allowed, contact your local IT representative in case PRAESENSA needs to be
part of the external/building Ethernet network.
6.3

Logon the application

After the (mandatory) software has been installed on the configuration computer, it must
establish a secured data connection with the PRAESENSA system (controller) to be able to
transfer system data to and from the system (controller) and other network devices in the
PRAESENSA system.
Notice!
i
The logon and configuration time‑out is about 10 minutes. Submit your changes before the
time‑out exceeds, otherwise your changes are lost.
