is graphic shows a CAT 5 scenario involving two

Mongoose devices. In this situation, the maximum

distance between the RADs would be 500 meters.

3. How many Mongoose devices do you need?

Each Mongoose accommodates eight RADs. erefore, deciding how many Mongoose devices

you need requires just a little simple math. If distance is an issue, however, you may want to add

additional Mongoose devices that you can place close to the RADs. See the previous question for

more details about distance issues.

4. What network design is appropriate for your situation?

When making networking decisions for the Mongoose system, you must think in terms of two

diﬀerent networks – the control network and the CobraNet network. e control network, which

you connect to via the Mongoose Ethernet port, manages the communication between your

computer and the Mongoose. You use this network for conﬁguring and monitoring the Mongoose

system. e CobraNet network, which you connect to via the Mongoose CobraNet port, manages

the transmission of the digital audio signals. Depending on your situation, there are various ways

to design these two networks. Unless your system is particularly large and complex, your network

design should be fairly straightforward. ere are enough issues to consider, however, that we have

dedicated an entire section to this topic. See "Designing Each Network" on page 49.
