The computer must also have an Ethernet port, which you use to connect the computer to the Mongoose (either directly or via an Ethernet network). This connection is necessary for using the Mongoose software to load configuration information into the device and also for monitoring detailed status information. Note that some status information is visible on the hardware itself. Note for Apple® computer users: Although we do not test the software on Apple computers, we are confident that it should work fine as long as you're running a virtual machine that allows you to run Windows on your Apple computer.

System Requirements
To include a Mongoose/RAD network in an audio system, the system must meet the following
requirements:
If you plan to use CobraNet to communicate between a Mongoose and other audio devices, those
devices must be CobraNet-enabled.
You must have access to a computer running Microsoft Windows® XP (Service Pack 2 or higher) or
Vista. °e computer must also have an Ethernet port, which you use to connect the computer to
the Mongoose (either directly or via an Ethernet network). °is connection is necessary for using
the Mongoose software to load configuration information into the device and also for monitoring
detailed status information. Note that some status information is visible on the hardware itself.
Note for Apple® computer users:
Although we do not test the software on Apple computers, we are
confident that it should work fine as long as you’re running a virtual machine that allows you to run
Windows on your Apple computer.
