Design Manual

To conﬁgure the audio routing, you use the

Mongoose Tracker routing matrix. e matrix

contains an area for RAD channels and an area

for CobraNet channels, allowing the routing

of signals directly to and from RADs and/or

to and from CobraNet Bundles. Following is a

simpliﬁed picture of the matrix, illustrating how

it is separated into RAD channels and CobraNet

channels:

An actual conﬁgured matrix looks like this:

Figure 11: Mongoose Tracker audio routing matrix

As you can see, the matrix allows you to conﬁgure which RAD input and CobraNet receive audio channels

are routed to which RAD output and CobraNet transmit audio channels.

To thoroughly understand the matrix, however, it is helpful to see the hardware view of various routing

scenarios. e matrix can seem a bit abstract unless you have a solid picture in mind of what you’re trying

to achieve.

Each of the following routing scenarios includes four illustrations – two versions of the hardware view and

two versions of the corresponding software matrix view. e ﬁrst hardware view is high level while the

second shows a more detailed view of the actual port connections involved. e ﬁrst matrix illustration is

a simpliﬁed view of the routing conﬁguration while the second shows the actual conﬁgured matrix.

Note the color key in each of the detailed hardware graphics. e orange lines represent the physical

connection between the RAD and its host Mongoose. e dotted red lines represent the virtual audio

connection between devices. e blue lines represent the physical CobraNet connections between the

Mongoose and the network switch and other CobraNet devices.
