General Description
e 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,
we lied: it’s actually 100 meters (328 feet to those in Liberia,
Myanmar and the USA).
e 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. e second
16 matrix input channels come from two eight-channel CobraNet
receive (Rx) Bundles via standard CobraNet Primary and Second-
ary/backup ports. e 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 is shown to the right. Each 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. Standard CAT 5 cable and termination
transport four digital audio channels – two channels in each di-
rection – as well as power, ground and a communications channel
via Rane’s proprietary RAD Network.

CONTENTS
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. Yet, facility network managers can configure Mon-
goose like any other IP network device. e Ethernet port also
supports Auto MDI/MDIX which automatically detects and per-
mits either an Ethernet crossover cable (included) or a standard
Ethernet cable to be used when directly connecting to a computer
for setup.
