IP addresses of central H.323 gatekeeper (if used)

IP addresses and/or URL of SIP servers or Internet telephony services (if used)

Login and password for PPPoE Access

Login and password for SIP or H.323 based telephony services

IP addresses of central TFTP server used for configuration upload and download (optional)

Software tools

You will need a PC (or equivalent) with Windows Telnet or a program such as Tera Term Pro Web (included on the SmartNode CD-ROM) to configure the software on your SmartNode router.

Power source

If you suspect that your AC power is not reliable, for example if room lights flicker often or there is machinery with large motors nearby, have a qualified professional test the power. Patton recommends that you include an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in the installation to ensure that VoIP service is not impaired if the power fails.

Location and mounting requirements

The SmartNode router is intended to be placed on a desktop or similar sturdy, flat surface that offers easy access to the cables. Allow sufficient space at the rear of the chassis for cable connections. Additionally, you should consider the need to access the unit for future upgrades and maintenance.

Note Under the rack mount option, the chassis can be equipped with rack mount ears that allow for use in a 19” rack.

Installing the gateway router

SmartNode hardware installation consists of the following:

Placing the device at the desired installation location (see section “Placing the SmartNode” on page 26)

Connecting the interface and power cables (see section “Installing cables”)

When you finish installing the SmartNode, go to chapter 4, “Initial configuration” on page 29.

Placing the SmartNode

Place the unit on a desktop or similar sturdy, flat surface that offers easy access to the cables. The unit should be installed in a dry environment with sufficient space to allow air circulation for cooling.

Note For proper ventilation, leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) to the left, right, front, and rear of the unit.

Installing cables

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
