PRAESENSA 1.61 software release

Bosch is pleased to announce a new software release for PRAESENSA, the IP-based public address and voice alarm system that provides high-quality audio for music or messaging. The latest software version 1.61 now supports static IP addresses, allowing them to be easily assigned to all networked system devices via the new PRAESENSA Network Configurator. Another improvement is the use of multiple redundant system controllers, which offer even more and better redundancy scenarios – especially for large distributed networks.

What is new in the 1.61 release?

Assignable static IP addresses

Possibility to configure PRAESENSA network devices with static IP addresses as an alternative to automatic assignment by DHCP
PRAESENSA Network Configurator software for system-wide, easy assignment of fixed IP addresses to all networked devices
