CAT 5 CABLE
TASK 4: INSTALLING THE RADS
Once the CAT 5 cable is in place and the Mongoose is installed, connected, and configured, you can begin
installing and testing the RADs. Two RAD installation procedures are described in this section. e first
provides the details of installing and testing RADs in a new Mongoose system. e second explains how
to change out a RAD – in other words, how to replace a RAD in an existing Mongoose system.
Before installing the RADs, you may want to familiarize yourself with the RAD’s functionality and hardware
features in "Typical RAD Front Panel" on page 14. Also, if the audio designer did not provide you with
labels for the RADs and you have not yet generated them, you may want to print them before installation
process. See "Generating RAD Labels" on page 34 for details.
Installing and Testing RADs in a New Mongoose System
Important Note: Double-check that the Mongoose is connected and powered on (and, preferably,
configured) before beginning the RAD installation.
To install a RAD:
1. Confirm that the proper switchbox (two gang or four gang depending on the RAD model) is
installed and that the CAT 5 cable is terminated.
2. Confirm that you are installing the correct RAD
model in each location. e model number
appears on the bottom right of the RAD’s front
cover. Labelling the RADs ahead of time provides
additional verification the right one is being
installed.
3. Plug the CAT 5 cable into the jack on the back of
the RAD.
4. View the RAD’s status indicators to determine if
you installed the correct model and if the RAD
is communicating properly with the Mongoose. As long as the Mongoose is connected and
powered on, the RAD’s status indicators should activate as soon as you connect the CAT 5 cable.
