About the CobraNet Network
The CobraNet network is needed for transmission and reception of audio data between the Mongoose
and other audio processing equipment. You use the CobraNet port to provide a network path for audio
data to and from the Mongoose. There are two CobraNet ports on the back of the Mongoose –
Primary
and
Secondary
. Use the
Primary
port for your main CobraNet network. Use the
Secondary
port only if
your system includes a backup CobraNet network. The
Secondary
port provides automatic redundancy
should your primary network fail. Note that the CobraNet port does not contain auto-MDIX functionality,
therefore you must use a crossover cable when connecting the Mongoose directly to another CobraNet
device.
Note:
Although you perform most of the management and configuration tasks for Mongoose via the
control network, you can manage some aspects of CobraNet via the CobraNet network. This requires the
use of an SNMP MIB browser or CobraNet Disco software.
