Draw a network overview diagram that displays all neighboring IP nodes, connected elements and telephony components.

IP related information

Before you can set up the basic IP connectivity for your SmartNode 4400 series you should have the following information (see table 6):

IP addresses used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports

Subnet mask used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports

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

IP addresses of central PSTN Gateway for H.323 based calls

Configuration tools

You will need a PC (or equivalent) with a VT-100 emulation program (e.g. HyperTerminal) to configure the software on your SmartNode 4400.

AC Power Mains

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. Install a power conditioner if necessary. Refer to “Connecting power” on page 30.

The mains outlet that is utilized to power the equipment must be within 1 foot (3 meters) of the device and shall be easily accessible.

WARNING

Note When setting up your SmartNode you must consider cable-length limitations and potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) as defined by the applicable local and international regulations. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning installation.
