Release notes
Bosch Security Systems B.V.
3 Added functionalities
3.1 Release 1.81
– Added support for the new PRA-IM16C8 Control interface module. Each device provides
16 configurable, supervised control inputs, eight voltage-free control outputs, and two
trigger outputs with connection supervision. These control inputs and outputs provide an
easy and logical connection to auxiliary equipment, such as fire alarm systems.
– You can configure the minimum TLS version for the open interface protocol to increase
the security of the communication. By default, TLS 1.2 is disabled to enforce TLS 1.3 for
the web-server.
– A firmware upgrade of the PRA-ES8P2S to version V1.01.09 solves the unplanned restarts
of the PRA-ES8P2S that happened when SNMP monitoring was enabled. Download the
updated firmware from www.boschsecurity.com.
3.2 Release 1.71
– The system controller can now connect to an increased number of devices. This improves
the performance when starting systems with many call stations.
3.3 Release 1.70
– Implementation of a SIP/VoIP interface for telephone paging with live speech. A SIP
extension number can be linked to a PRAESENSA call macro. It is possible to configure
call priority, start and end chimes, and the destination of the call. Besides telephone
paging, the SIP/VoIP function can be used as another interface for audio and control to
PRAESENSA from 3
rd
party systems such as intercom, nurse call, and passenger
information systems.
– Implementation of a lock function to protect a call station placed in public against
unauthorized access. To gain access to the call station, the operator must enter a User
number and a Pin code in the LCD. The call station will automatically lock out after the
lock timer expires or when the user presses the logout button.
3.4 Release 1.61
– Support of static IP address allocation is now available in addition to DHCP and Link
Local address allocation. The Network configurator facilitates the assignment of IP
addresses to either DHCP or static IP mode. It is a separate PC-based software tool
included in the release package available at www.boschsecurity.com.
– It is possible to assign up to 10 standby controllers to one duty controller. All system
controllers must be in the same subnet. This feature is especially convenient for a large
setup with multiple system controllers. If a connection between system controllers fails,
they continue to operate as separate self-sufficient systems, within their locally
connected audio zones and call stations.
– The bug where a keypad extension mismatch of a Call station was not always reported
correctly was fixed.
3.5 Release 1.50
– Support of the multi-controller functionality to allow the installation of a PRAESENSA
system with multiple subsystems, each with its own system controller. Every additional
system controller expands the system scalability. All subsystems are self-contained as
they can operate independent of the other subsystems. The subsystems can also operate
as a single large system under the control of a master or a superordinate system. In a
