Software tools
You will need a PC (or equivalent) with Windows Telnet or a program such as Tera Term Pro or Putty to con-
figure the software on your SmartNode eSBC.
Also you may use your WEB browser to configure the unit. The Web wizard in this case reduces time to get
your unit up and running. See more details on the
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. Patton recommends that you include an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in the installation to ensure that VoIP service is not impaired if the power
fails.

The SmartNode eSBC is intended to be placed on a desktop or similar sturdy, flat surface that offers easy access
to cables. Allow sufficient space at the rear of the chassis for cable connections. Additionally, you should con-
sider the need to access the unit for future upgrades and maintenance.

Placing the SmartNode device
Place the SmartNode device on a desktop or similar sturdy, flat surface. 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.
To prevent overheating and damaging the unit, proper ventilation
is required when placing the device; leave at least 2 inches (5
cm) to the left, right, front, and rear of the SmartNode device.
The device should be installed in a dry environment with suffi-
cient space to allow air circulation for cooling. Do not stack multi-
ple SmartNode devices directly on top of one another, and do not
place items on top of the device. If you will be installing equip-
ment above the SmartNode device, leave at least 2 inches (5
cm) of clearance between the devices.
