General Description
The Mongoose and its Tracker software work with Rane’s
Remotes Audio Devices (RADs) and your CobraNet network to
deliver digital audio to the “last mile” of installations – between
the equipment room/rack and remote spaces. OK, it’s not a mile,
it’s 100 meters (328 feet to those in Liberia, Myanmar, and the
USA).
The Mongoose’s 32-by-32 digital audio matrix router receives
its first 16 audio channels from up to eight RADs via the eight
rear panel 8P8C (RJ-45) Remote Audio Device ports. The second
16 matrix input channels come from two eight-channel CobraNet
receive (Rx) Bundles via standard CobraNet Primary and Secondary/backup ports. The 32 matrix router outputs transmit 16
channels to eight RADs and 16 more channels to two CobraNet
transmit (Tx) Bundles.
A family of RAD models converts analog audio to or from
24-bit, 48 kHz digital audio. Each RAD mounts in a standard
US electrical gang box, typically scattered throughout a facility.
Shielded CAT 5e (or better) cable and termination transport
four digital audio channels – two channels in each direction – as
well as power, ground and a communications channel via Rane’s
proprietary RAD Network.

Mongoose’s rear panel Ethernet port provides for direct or
network connection to a computer running Rane’s Mongoose
Tracker setup software. Inexpert users are assured easy network
communications with Zeroconf (Link-local/mDNS) and DHCP
support. Gone are the days of installers requiring intricate IP
knowledge. Facility network managers can configure Mongoose
like any other IP network device. The Ethernet port also supports
Auto MDI/MDIX which automatically detects and permits either
an Ethernet crossover cable (included) or use a standard Ethernet
cable when directly connecting to a computer for setup.
Features
• 32 by 32 digital audio matrix router.
• Receive 2 and transmit 2 CobraNet Bundles.
• Supports up to 32 digital audio channels from up to 8 RADs.
• Ethernet port supports DHCP, Zeroconf (Link-local & mDNS) &
Auto MDI/MDIX.
• Mongoose Tracker setup software for PC is included.
• Zeroconf-based Discovery automatically finds devices without IP setup or special IP knowledge.
• Name each Mongoose, RAD and audio channel.

Mongoose Tracker Software
Using the Mongoose Tracker, you configure each Mongoose RAD
port with the RAD model that connects to it. You also configure
various settings for each RAD, for the Mongoose itself, and for
the CobraNet network. One of the key configuration tasks is to
set up the audio routing for your Mongoose system. You do this
using the audio routing matrix that appears in the Mongoose
Tracker’s main window. Simply click a crosspoint to attach input
to output, between RADs and CobraNet Channels. You can send
the signal to one or more of the following:
• Another RAD connected to the same Mongoose
• Another RAD connected to a different Mongoose
• Another CobraNet-enabled device (e.g., a DSP device).
Data Sheet - 2
In addition to configuring the Mongoose components and the
audio routing, the software is a valuable tool for troubleshooting
any issues that may arise. Although you can determine a lot from
the hardware status indicators, the software provides more detail,
allowing you to drill down and pinpoint the problem with greater
accuracy.
Mongoose Tracker requires a computer
running Microsoft Windows® XP (Service
Pack 2 or 3) or any version of Vista, 7 or 8
(including 64-bit) with an Ethernet port.

In this example, the Mongoose is a wise choice because it
provides the school with tremendous flexibility and extensibility.
While delivering superb sound quality in the cafetorium, it also
ties in with the existing school paging system, and provides the
possibility of additional functionality in the future (as new RADs
are introduced).

• Two RAD1s are installed at the stage front for four mics.
• Two RAD4s are installed high on the wall near the speakers.
Two to four powered speakers could be accomodated.
• A RAD2 satisfies the need for a microphone and line input (for
playing background music) at the back of the room.
• The Mongoose is housed in a sound equipment room along
with a network switch and a CobraNet DSP box that contains
a microphone auto-mixer.

This hotel contains several meeting rooms, a ballroom, and a
restaurant/bar. It is a prime target for the Mongoose because of
the low channel count in each room and the scattered locations
of each audio input and output. This system requires more than
eight RADs and, therefore, requires more than one Mongoose.
