Software tools

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

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. Install a power conditioner if necessary.

Location and mounting requirements

The SmartNode VoIP IAD 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.

Installing the VoIP IAD

SmartNode VoIP IAD installation consists of the following:

Placing the device at the desired installation location (see section “Mounting the VoIP IAD” on page 32)

Installing the interface and power cables (see section “Connecting cables” on page 32)

When you finish installing the SmartNode, go to chapter 4, “Getting started with the SmartNode” on page 43.

Mounting the VoIP IAD

Place the VoIP IAD on a desktop or similar sturdy, flat surface that offers easy access to the cables. The VoIP IAD 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 SmartNode VoIP IAD.

Connecting cables

WARNING

CAUTION

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

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 mechanical serviceability.

Installing VoIP IAD cables takes place in the following order:

1.Installing the RJ-11 voice port (FXS) cable or cables (see section “Installing an interface cable on the VoIP IAD’s FXS and FXO interface ports” on page 33)
