2. Isolated network for audio equipment
This approach is often appropriate for small to mid-sized systems or for any size system that does
not need to use an existing corporate network.
Control Network
If you need to manage multiple devices (multiple Mongoose devices and/or other Ethernet-
controlled equipment), you may want to connect all the devices to an isolated network switch. By
connecting your computer to the same switch, you can easily and quickly access each of the devices
to perform management and configuration tasks. You could even include a wireless access point,
which would allow computer access to the devices while roaming the building:
