Questions & answers
Know before you buy
Quick answers about the PRA-APAL, and how it compares.
What is the Bosch PRA-APAL license used for in a PRAESENSA system?
The Bosch PRA-APAL is an advanced public address software license that enables a compatible operator device to access advanced PRAESENSA functions through the PRA-APAS server. These include live announcements, stored messages, text-to-speech, background music management and scheduled events. One license is required per active operator device.
Does Bosch PRA-APAL require the PRA-APAS server?
Yes. PRA-APAL operates with the Bosch PRA-APAS Advanced Public Address Server, which provides the platform for these advanced public address functions. PRA-APAL is the operator software license, not the server itself, and cannot independently replace the PRAESENSA system controller.
How many Bosch PRA-APAL licenses are needed for multiple PCs or tablets?
Bosch specifies one PRA-APAL license per active operator device. For example, if five PCs or tablets need to operate the advanced public address interface simultaneously, five licenses are required. The system can support a virtually unlimited number of appropriately licensed operator devices, subject to system configuration.
Can Bosch PRA-APAL automate scheduled announcements and text-to-speech messages?
Yes. PRA-APAL enables operators to use scheduled announcements, stored messages and text-to-speech functionality through the PRA-APAS platform. This helps facilities manage routine communications without manually delivering every announcement. Available functions depend on the installed software, configuration and any required external services.
Can Bosch PRA-APAL manage background music and announcements from a tablet?
Yes. A compatible licensed tablet can access supported PRA-APAS functions over an IP network using Wi-Fi. Operators can manage announcements, messages and background music according to their assigned permissions. The PRA-APAL interface supports compatible web browsers and is optimized for a 10-inch touchscreen.
How is the Bosch PRA-APAL license delivered and activated?
The Bosch PRA-APAL is supplied electronically through an email containing license activation information. The activation ID is entered through the PRA-APAS licensing interface using the procedure described in the official user manual. License quantities should be planned according to the required number of active operator devices.
