5.2 System composition
On the System composition page you will add (or remove) network devices one by one. This is
a mandatory configuration step.
All network devices will be listed on the system composition page as soon they are connected,
discovered and added to the PRAESENSA Ethernet network. In this way you have a complete
overview of the total used network devices within the system.
Initially, only the first added network device (most likely; the system controller) is listed on
the system composition page automatically. See
Logon the application, page 35
.
Using the System composition page, it is possible to (Re)discover, Add and Delete network
devices and change network device credentials as described following:
Name The free chosen name of the network device.
Device type The commercial type number (CTN) name of the connected network
device. The Device type (e.g. PRA-AD608 is part of the Amplifier
category.) is fixed and cannot be changed.
Host name The unique network device hostname. Each device hostname is fixed
and cannot be changed. It uniquely identifies each network device in
the system. See
Logon the application, page 35
.
Location Free text. E.g. the name of the physical location of the network
device.
Show identification Visualize identification of the selected network device.

5.2.1 Rediscover devices
Using the (re)discover function, the connected system controller finds all new and/or removed
connected network devices and (un)list them. This rediscover process is an internal system
controller process and not visible. Meaning that you have to add, select or change each (new)
found network device to the system composition manually.
To do so:
1. Click the Rediscover button to find (new) network connected devices, or to view
(changed) network device credentials.
– All (connected and removed) network devices will be discovered by the system
controller.
2. Proceed with:
