Patton electronic 4960 Series manual Connecting the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN cables

SmartNode 4960 Getting Started Guide 3 • SmartNode installation

Connect the cables in the following order:

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.

1.Connect the T1/E1 cables to the PRI T1/E1 ports (see Appendix C on page 55 and Appendix D on page 60).

2.Connect the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN (see section “Connecting the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN cables” on page 27)

3.Connect the power mains cable (see section “Connecting the power supply” on page 28)

Connecting the PRI

The SmartNode comes with one or four PRI ports. These ports are usually connected to a PBX or switch (local exchange (LE) ). Each PRI T1/E1 port is a RJ-48C receptacle. In most cases, a straight-through RJ-45 can be used to connect the PRI. Each port can be configured as NT (clock master) or TE (clock slave).

For details on the PRI port pin-out and ISDN cables, refer to Appendix C, “Cabling” on page 43 and Appen- dix D, “port pin-outs” on page 47.

Connecting the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN cables

The SmartNode 4960 has automatic MDX (auto-crossover) detection and configuration on all Ethernet ports. Any of the ports can be connected to a host or hub/switch with a straight-through or cross-over wired cable.

1.Connect to the subscriber port of the broadband access modem (DSL, cable, WLL) to ETH 0/0.

Note The SmartNode Ethernet ports operate in Full Duplex mode only. Do not connect to Half Duplex ports. For best results, use auto-negotiation. Auto negotiation is mandatory when using 1000BaseT (Gigabit) Ethernet.

2.Connect port ETH 0/1 to your LAN.

Installing the DSL WAN cable. The SmartNode Model 4960 comes with an option for a G.SHDSL WAN interface. Use a straight-through RJ-11 cable to connect the G.SHDSL port.

For details on the Ethernet port pinout and cables, refer to Appendix C, “Cabling” on page 55 and Appendix D, “Port pin-outs”on page 60.
