MONGOOSE Design Manual 2. The CobraNet status indicators provide information about the Mongoose's CobraNet connection. There are two sets of indicators for each CobraNet network - Primary and Secondary. Of course, the secondary network indicators function only if you have implemented a secondary (or backup) CobraNet network. • In Use/Conductor LED (yellow) - indicates that the CobraNet port is in use, in other words CobraNet packets are being sent or received by the Mongoose. If the Mongoose has auto-negotiated to be the CobraNet Conductor, this LED flashes (indicating it is both in use and is the Conductor). If you have connected both the primary and secondary CobraNet ports, only one of your CobraNet networks will be active (or in use) at any given time, therefore, only one In Use/Conductor indicator will be active. Note: If you are unfamiliar with CobraNet and the purpose of the CobraNet Conductor, you can read more about it in the CobraNet RaneNote. • Link/Activity LED (green) - indicates that the CobraNet network is connected, flashes if there is activity on the network. If the Mongoose is connected to another CobraNet device or network switch but the Link LED is off, this indicates a problem with the connection. If you have connected both the primary and secondary CobraNet ports, the Link LED for both ports should be on. 3. The Ethernet status indicators provide information about the Mongoose's Ethernet connection. • Comm LED (yellow) - flashes when the Mongoose is sending or receiving network packets to or from the Mongoose Tracker software. • Link LED (green) - indicates if the Ethernet network is connected. If the Mongoose is connected to an Ethernet network but the Link LED is off, this indicates a problem with the connection. Note: If an installation does not include an Ethernet network, this indicator is relevant only when you connect a computer directly to the Mongoose. If the connection is working properly, the Link LED lights up. 4. The final indicators on the front panel are the Locate and Power LEDs: • Locate LED - flashes green when you place this device in Locate Mode (via the Mongoose Tracker software). The purpose of this locate functionality is for verification, when working in the software, of the physical device you are configuring or viewing. This is helpful when you are working with multiple Mongoose devices. For more information about this functionality, see the software help system. • Power LED - indicates that the Mongoose is powered on. 11

2.
CobraNet status indicators
provide information about the Mongoose’s CobraNet connection.
°ere are two sets of indicators for each CobraNet network –
Primary
and
Secondary
. Of course,
the secondary network indicators function only if you have implemented a secondary (or backup)
CobraNet network.
•
In Use/Conductor LED
(yellow) – indicates that the CobraNet port is in use, in other
words CobraNet packets are being sent or received by the Mongoose. If the Mongoose has
auto-negotiated to be the CobraNet Conductor, this LED flashes (indicating it is both in use
and is the Conductor). If you have connected both the primary and secondary CobraNet
ports, only one of your CobraNet networks will be active (or
in use
) at any given time,
therefore, only one
In Use/Conductor
indicator will be active.
Note:
If you are unfamiliar with CobraNet and the purpose of the CobraNet Conductor,
you can read more about it in the
CobraNet RaneNote
.
•
Link/Activity
LED
(green) – indicates that the CobraNet network is connected, flashes if
there is activity on the network. If the Mongoose is connected to another CobraNet device
or network switch but the Link LED is off, this indicates a problem with the connection.
If you have connected both the primary and secondary CobraNet ports, the Link LED for
both ports should be on.

3.
Ethernet status indicators
provide information about the Mongoose’s Ethernet connection.
•
Comm LED
(yellow) – flashes when the Mongoose is sending or receiving network packets
to or from the Mongoose Tracker software.
•
Link LED
(green) – indicates if the Ethernet network is connected. If the Mongoose is
connected to an Ethernet network but the
Link
LED is off, this indicates a problem with
the connection.
Note:
If an installation does not include an Ethernet network, this indicator is relevant
only when you connect a computer directly to the Mongoose. If the connection is working
properly, the
Link
LED lights up.
°e final indicators on the front panel are the
4.
Locate
and
Power
LEDs:
•
Locate LED
– flashes green when you place this device in Locate Mode (via the Mongoose
Tracker software). °e purpose of this locate functionality is for verification, when working
in the software, of the physical device you are configuring or viewing. °is is helpful
when you are working with multiple Mongoose devices. For more information about this
functionality, see the software help system.
•
Power LED
– indicates that the Mongoose is powered on.
