TASK 2: LOADING A CONFIGURATION FILE

Although listed as the second task in the installation process, this can occur later in the process if necessary.

To help with troubleshooting, however, we recommend loading this ﬁle prior to installing the RADs.

Note: If you do not have a conﬁguration ﬁle, but you want to test that the equipment is working properly,

you can create a very simple conﬁguration for veriﬁcation purposes. It’s best to do this after installing the

RADs. See "Creating a Veriﬁcation Conﬁguration" on page 31.

To load a conﬁguration ﬁle into a Mongoose:

1. Verify that the Mongoose is powered on and working properly.

2. If you haven’t already, download and install the Mongoose Tracker software. See "Installing and

Using the Mongoose Tracker Software" on page 33.

3. Connect your computer to the Mongoose. See "Connecting a Computer to the Mongoose" on page

34 for details.

4. Select the device you want to conﬁgure.

a. Open the Device Discovery dialog box (click Discover in the toolbar).

Note: e Device Discovery dialog box contains a Device Status column that provides

information on the status of each device. If a device has yet to be conﬁgured, its status will vary

depending on whether or not the RADs have been installed and connected. If the device detects

no connected RADs and no conﬁguration has been loaded, its status will be OK. In other

words, no RADs are conﬁgured and no RADs are found. If the Mongoose detects connected

RADs and no conﬁguration has been loaded, its status will be RAD Model Mismatch. In other

words, no RADs are conﬁgured but the Mongoose found one or more connected RADs. is

message will change to OK once you load the conﬁguration ﬁle and correct any conﬁguration

errors.

b. Click the Open/Edit button for the Mongoose you want to conﬁgure. e device’s current

conﬁguration displays in the main screen of the Mongoose Tracker. If you have already installed

the RADs, the ports to which the RADs are connected display a RAD Model Mismatch status

(as explained in step 4a above).
