Installation Manual

• If the RAD is functioning correctly (and the Mongoose conﬁguration matches the physical

RADs), the following four LED indicators turn green: Power, Comm, Audio Rx, and Audio

Tx. Each of these LEDs corresponds to a twisted pair within the CAT 5 cable, and a green

light indicates that the twisted pair has been detected by the Mongoose and is working

properly. See "Terminating the CAT 5 Cable" on page 22 for more details on the functionality

of each twisted pair.

If you have connected the RAD and one or more of these LEDs turns solid red or does not

light up at all, this indicates a problem. See "Troubleshooting the RAD Devices" on page 40.

If the LEDs ﬂash red, however, this simply means there is a mismatch between the physical

RAD model and the conﬁgured RAD model (see the next bullet).

Also, if you notice the intensity of these lights varying from time to time, there is no need

to schedule an appointment with your eye doctor! Each RAD contains a light sensor that

detects the amount of light in the room. As the light in the room gets darker (which can be

simulated by passing your hand over the light sensor), the intensity of the LEDs fades. is

is to prevent the RADs from glowing brightly in a darkened room. Note that you can set the

intensity of these LEDs within Mongoose Tracker. See the software help system.

• If the RAD model you install does not match the model conﬁgured for the associated

Mongoose RAD port (only relevant if you have already conﬁgured the Mongoose), the

bottom four LEDs on the RAD ﬂash red. If the models do not match, determine which

model is needed and install it. See "Verify the RAD Conﬁguration" on page 27 for details.

• Status information for each RAD port on the Mongoose is displayed on the front and rear

panel of the Mongoose. As long as all four indicators on a RAD are green, there is no need

to check these LEDs on the Mongoose. If a RAD indicator is solid red, however, view the

corresponding indicators on the Mongoose to determine if the problem is originating there.

Following are descriptions of the indicators on the Mongoose:

i. e RAD indicators on the rear panel correspond with the indicators on the

individual RADs, providing information on the health of the wiring. If a RAD is

functioning properly and the Mongoose is communicating properly with the RAD,

all four indicators on the rear panel of the Mongoose should be green for each

connected RAD.

ii. e RAD indicators on the front panel provide information about the actual

connection and any activity between each RAD and the Mongoose. For each port

to which a RAD is connected, the Enabled indicators for each active RAD channel

should be yellow. (If the Enabled LEDs are ﬂashing yellow, they indicate the RAD

model speciﬁed in the Mongoose conﬁguration does not match the physical RAD

model detected on the port.) If audio is ﬂowing through the system, you may see

activity on the Signal and/or Overload indicators.
