You should have a working knowledge of your computer operating system and
(PRAESENSA) Ethernet network.
Check the hardware, page 14
Install the system software, page 15
Check network and web browser settings, page 30

You have the hostnames and MAC‑addresses of the 19" devices (see the product label)
before mounting them in a 19"‑rack. For configuration, you need to know the hostnames:
–
After mounting, access to the product labels with this information might be difficult,
especially for devices that have their labels on the side.
The products are mechanical correctly installed and connections are done as specified in
the PRAESENSA installation manual.
An Ethernet connection between the PRAESENSA system and the building Ethernet
network is disconnected. It is not recommended to connect the PRAESENSA system
(controller) permanently to an Ethernet network that is also used for other purposes, like
a computer network:
–
This to avoid that non PRAESENSA system related network devices become visible in
the PRAESENSA configuration web browser pages. And an excess of data on the
network (e.g. a so‑called data storm of multicast messages) might overload the
system.
–
Notice that setup of the building Ethernet network is not part of this manual. If
needed, contact your local IT representative in case of connecting PRAESENSA to the
building Ethernet network.
An Ethernet network connection cable (shielded CAT5e or better) between the
configuration computer / (Wi‑Fi) router and the PRAESENSA system (controller) is
established:
–
Although any port can be used, it is advised to use port 5 for the connection to a PC
for configuration, especially if this connection is permanent. This port can also be
connected to a Wi‑Fi router to enable configuration and system setup from a mobile
device, using its browser. In this way, zone volume and equalizer settings can be
configured conveniently in the zone itself by immediate audible monitoring. This
requires Wi‑Fi coverage in the zones.
