Connecting the Management Interface
The SmartNode 10100 Management Interface enables administrators to perform management tasks on the
SN10100. To communicate with the Smart Media Management Interface for a SN10100, you will need a
CAT5 Ethernet cable with RJ45 male-male terminations.
The SN10100 provides a Management Interface, using one Gigabit Ethernet network link, as shown in
. Follow the steps below to communicate with the Management Interface.
1.
Connect the supplied CAT5 Ethernet cable to the management port labeled
Ethernet
on the front of the
SmartNode 10100.
2.
Log into the SmartNode using the specific credentials included on the “Important Notice” sheet that

Connecting to a VoIP Network
The SN10100 features dual GigE ports for connection to different VoIP networks. This provides an access
point to manage VoIP traffic. Should one of the IP networks fail, the SN10100 will continue to manage VoIP
traffic using the alternate network.
Note
Certain configurations of the SN10100 will exceed 100 Mbps, therefore
1000 Mbps is recommended.
To connect the SN10100 to the VoIP network, you will need:
•
Gigabit layer 2 Ethernet switch. A second one is required to support redundancy of the VoIP interface
•
One or two CAT5 Ethernet cables with RJ45 male-male terminations.
•
If your system has access to a second VoIP network, you can connect it to a second VoIP interface of the
SN10100 with an RJ45 (male-male) CAT5 Ethernet cable.
