Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) support

The DICENTIS system supports redundant cabling when the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP) is enabled. By default RSTP is disabled to prevent network failures in a system where
RSTP is not supported or allowed.
To enable cable redundancy:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Bosch Security Systems B.V.
Power up the system without cable redundancy.
Enable Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) in the DICENTIS server:
– In Windows explorer, select: C:\Programs Files\Bosch\DICENTIS.
– Open: Bosch.Dcnm.Services.DeviceService.Main.exe.config.
If you have Administrator rights, this file can be opened in notepad; otherwise, copy
the file to a local area on your PC.
– To enable RSTP, set the OcaRstpModeEnabled key from false to true.
<!-- Indicates whether rstp should be enabled or disabled on all OCA devices -->
<add key="OcaRstpModeEnabled" value="false"/>
Restart the DICENTIS server.
Restart the APS, PS and Discussion devices (MMD, Dxx).
Wait until the system is fully started. The devices can then be cabled redundantly (loops
can be closed).
