Port

Description

 

 

WAN ETH 0/0

Auto-MDX Gigabit-Ethernet port, RJ-45 (see figure 2), connects the unit to an Ethernet

 

WAN device (for example, a cable modem, DSL modem, or fiber modem). Note:

 

Only full duplex modes are supported.

 

 

LAN ETH 0/1

Auto-MDX Gigabit-Ethernet port, RJ-45 (see figure 2), connect the unit to an Ethernet

 

LAN (for example, a PC, printer, or wireless bridge). Note: Only full duplex modes

 

are supported.

 

 

PRI 0/0

RJ-45 connector providing E1 (2.048Mbps) or T1(1.533 Mbps) PRI interface, meet-

 

ing all requirements of ITU-T recommendations for G.703. Use a shielded E1 or T1

 

interface cable for 120 Ohm balanced connections to connect the SmartNode with

 

an NT or ET, e.g. a PBX or LE.

 

 

PRI 0/1

RJ-45 connector providing E1 (2.048Mbps) or T1(1.533 Mbps) PRI interface, meet-

 

ing all requirements of ITU-T recommendations for G.703. Use a shielded E1 or T1

 

interface cable for 120 Ohm balanced connections to connect the SmartNode with

 

an NT or ET, e.g. a PBX or LE.

 

 

PRI 0/2

RJ-45 connector providing E1 (2.048Mbps) or T1(1.533 Mbps) PRI interface, meet-

 

ing all requirements of ITU-T recommendations for G.703. Use a shielded E1 or T1

 

interface cable for 120 Ohm balanced connections to connect the SmartNode with

 

an NT or ET, e.g. a PBX or LE.

 

 

PRI 0/3

RJ-45 connector providing E1 (2.048Mbps) or T1(1.533 Mbps) PRI interface, meet-

 

ing all requirements of ITU-T recommendations for G.703. Use a shielded E1 or T1

 

interface cable for 120 Ohm balanced connections to connect the SmartNode with

 

an NT or ET, e.g. a PBX or LE.

 

 

Console

Used for service and maintenance, the Console port (see figure 2), an RS-232 RJ-45

 

connector, connects the product to a serial terminal such as a PC or ASCII terminal

 

(also called a dumb terminal).

 

 

100-240 VAC 50-

Electricity supply socket for mains power cable. (see figure 2).

60 Hz

 

 

 

Reset

The reset button (see figure 2) has three functions:

 

Restart the unit with the current startup configuration—Press (for less than 1 second)

 

and release the Reset button to restart the unit with the current startup configuration.

 

Restart the unit with factory default configuration—Press the Reset button for

 

5 seconds until the Power LED (see figure 3 on page 18) starts blinking to restart

 

the unit with factory default configuration.

 

Restart the unit in bootloader mode (to be used only by trained SmartNode tech-

 

nicians)—Starting with the unit powered off, press and hold the Reset button as

 

you apply power to the unit. Release the Reset button when the Power LED starts

 

blinking so the unit will enter bootloader mode.

 

 

G.SHDSL port

Provides up to 5.7 Mbps symmetrical throughput, supporting ATM QoS. Supports

(option)

multiple PVC and DSLAM interoperability.

 

The G.SHDSL LEDs are located on either side of the DSL port. ACT (when lit or blink-

 

ing) shows Activity, and LINK (when lit) shows that the DSL port is connected.
