Design Manual

Rane Mongoose Documentation Set

In addition to this design manual, the Rane documentation set includes an installation manual and a

software help system built into the Mongoose Tracker.

e Mongoose Installation Manual (available on the Rane website) explains the details of racking the

Mongoose and connecting it to the network, installing the RAD devices and connecting them to the

Mongoose, and troubleshooting any connection or audio problems that arise.

e software help system, embedded in the Mongoose Tracker software application, contains tutorial

simulations to introduce you to the software, information on Mongoose and RAD conﬁguration, detailed

information about the user interface as well as detailed procedures for accomplishing speciﬁc tasks.

We also recommend you periodically check www.rane.com/mongoose at the Rane website for the latest

information on the system (for example, software updates, the release of new RAD models, line art, etc.).

System Requirements

To include a Mongoose/RAD network in an audio system, the system must meet the following requirements:

If you plan to use CobraNet to communicate between a Mongoose and other audio devices, those devices

must be CobraNet-enabled.

• You must have access to a computer running Microsoft Windows® XP (Service Pack 2 or higher)

or any version of Vista or Windows 7 (including 64-bit). e computer must also have an Ethernet

port, which you use to connect the computer to the Mongoose (either directly or via an Ethernet

network). is connection is necessary for using the Mongoose Tracker software to load conﬁguration

information into the device and also for monitoring detailed status information. Note that some status

information is visible on the hardware itself.

• You must have administrative rights to install (or upgrade) the Mongoose Tracker software, but you

do not need administrative rights to run the software. Note that you also need administrative rights to

manually start or stop the RaneLink service (a Windows service installed with Mongoose Tracker that

runs at system boot up to ensure the establishment of communications between Mongoose Tracker

and the Mongoose). Manual control of this service is rarely needed.

• Most RADs require two, three, or four-gang standard switchboxes (for installation into a wall). e

switchbox must have a minimum depth of 2¼" (57 mm).
