First the SmartNode must be connected to the mains power supply with the power cable. Wait until the Power LED stops blinking and stays lit constantly. Now the SmartNode is ready.

The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use

and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt-

age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and

CAUTION mechanical serviceability.

The SmartNode 5400 Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through cables for host or hub/switch connections (see figure 6).

The SmartNode comes with a built-in DHCP server to simplify configuration. Therefore, to automatically configure the PC for IP connectivity to the SmartNode, the laptop PC must be configured for DHCP. The SmartNode will provide the PC with an IP address. You can check the connection to the SmartNode by exe- cuting the ping command from the PC command window as follows:

ping 192.168.1.1
