CobraNet Network
If you are creating a new CobraNet network, you’ll need to connect all your CobraNet devices to
a network switch dedicated to the CobraNet network. If there is an existing CobraNet network,
you will likely want to integrate the Mongoose system into it. To do so, just connect the Mongoose
devices to the current CobraNet network switch. Advantages to this approach include the ability of
the Mongoose system to send or receive audio from any other device in the network and the ability
to centrally manage all your CobraNet devices (using SNMP or the Disco utility). Note that on the
Mongoose devices, you can manage key CobraNet settings without needing SNMP or Disco.:
