4 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!
The logon and configuration time‑out is about 10 minutes. Submit your changes before the
time‑out exceeds, otherwise your changes are lost.
Proceed as follows:
1. If not already done, turn‑on the power of the PRAESENSA system:
– All network devices boot and the 19”-devices show the yellow device fault LED on.
– LCD Call stations show a fault status message on the display.
2. Find the two MAC‑addresses and two hostnames indicated on a product label of the
system controller:
– The device hostname is unique for each PRAESENSA network device and is used to
identify the device within system. For example; the device hostname of a system
controller becomes visible as: PRASCx‑yyyyyy. The device hostname is derived from
its commercial type number (CTN) and MAC‑address: PRASCx‑yyyyyy, with PRASC
being the commercial type number (without a dash between PRA and SCx), x being
the system controller version type and yyyyyy being the last 6 hexadecimal digits of
the device MAC‑address.
– The control hostname is also unique and is used to get access to the webserver of
the system controller. The control hostname is derived from the device hostname
with a postfix -ctrl (not from the MAC‑address!). The address
(PRASCx‑yyyyyy‑ctrl.local) is used as URL (Uniform Resource Locator) to logon
PRAESENSA.
– Notice: the control hostname URL address is also used for the Open Interface.
– Remark: The configuration web browser pages show device hostnames
without .local domain extension. It does not show control hostnames, neither the
one of its own webserver, nor from other system controllers.
3. Open the web browser on your computer and enter the appropriate control hostname
URL (Uniform Resource Locator): https://PRASCx‑yyyyyy‑ctrl.local in the address bar.
– IMPORTANT: PRAESENSA uses default a secured data connection (https with SSL
self‑signed security certificate) which could result in blocking the logon process
including a warning message similar to the following: Continue to this website (not
recommended), despite it is not recommended. To continue the logon process, with
a secured data connection, the address can be best added first to the secure/trusted
websites of your used web browser. If required, see also
Check network and web
browser settings, page 30
.
4. An Initial (administrator) setup logon screen appears with the device Hostname and
Device name of the system controller requesting a (New) administrator username and
password.
– Notice that the Initial (administrator) setup login screen is only visible at logon the
system for the first time as administrator or when the saved configuration file of the
system controller has been erased.
5. Enter the (existing) administrator username (minimum 5 and maximum 64 characters)
and (existing) password (minimum 8 and maximum 64 characters):
