SmartNode 5400 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 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN (see section “Connecting the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN cables” on page 25)

2.If applicable, connect the DSL WAN port (see section “Connecting the DSL WAN cable” on page 25)

3.Connect the power mains cable (see section “Connecting the power supply” on page 26)

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

The SmartNode 5400 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.

Connecting the DSL WAN cable

The SmartNode Model 5400 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 51 and Appendix D, “Port pin-outs”on page 54.
