INSTALLING AND USING THE MONGOOSE TRACKER SOFTWARE
is section provides some of the basic procedures for working with the Mongoose Tracker software
component of the Mongoose system. You will find a brief overview of the software in "Mongoose Tracker
Software" on page 16. More detailed information is available in the application’s help system.
Installing Mongoose Tracker
A CD containing the Mongoose Tracker software is included with your Mongoose hardware. If you’re like
most people, however, that CD is gone – accidentally tossed in the recycle bin along with the cardboard
box. If that’s the case, no need to worry. Simply go to the Rane website and download the software, free-
of-charge. Note: you must be logged in with administrator rights to install this software.
Installing the software is simple:
1. Insert the CD in your computer (or click the download button on the Mongoose web page).
2. If downloading the software, on the File Download box that appears, click Run. If you want to save
the installation file to your computer, click Save.
3. When the download completes (or after inserting the CD), click Run to begin the installation. e
installation program first verifies the contents of the setup package. is may take a few moments.
4. When the verification completes, the Welcome screen appears. Click Next.
5. e License Agreement appears. After reading the agreement, click the box that indicates you
accept the terms, and then click Next.
6. Select the type of install you want. e options are Complete, Compact, or Custom. Unless you
have very limited disk space, the Complete option is recommended. Click Next.
7. Indicate the location in which Mongoose Tracker should be installed. By default, Mongoose Tracker
is installed in C:\Program Files\Rane Corporation\Mongoose Tracker. Click Next.
8. Click Next again to begin the installation and configuration of Mongoose Tracker.
9. If any additional components need to be installed (for example, the Microsoft .NET framework)
or if a previous version of Mongoose Tracker needs to be uninstalled, the installation application
displays this information. Click Next to continue with the installation. e installation application
uninstalls the previous version of Mongoose Tracker (if necessary), installs any needed components,
and then installs the Mongoose Tracker application. is process may take several minutes.
10. When the installation is complete, the following dialog box appears:
Click Finish to complete the installation and open Mongoose
Tracker.
Starting Mongoose Tracker
1. On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Rane Corporation > Mongoose Tracker.
2. From the choices that display, select the Mongoose Tracker application:
