• SmartNode Installation
Note
SmartNode devices that include surge protection have
/SP
in their model
code. All SmartNode
/SP
models provide a secondary protection against
over-voltage and over-current conditions (surges) including lightning strikes
and power cross.
For phone lines that go across buildings (TNV-3), a SmartNode
/SP
device (which
includes K.21-compliant surge protection) is required.
For SmartNode models without surge protection, only TNV-2 circuits are allowed
to be connected inside buildings.
Connecting the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN cables
The SmartNode device has automatic MDX (auto-cross-over) detection and configuration on the Ethernet
ports. Any of the two ports can be connected to a host or hub/switch with a straight-through wired cable.
1.
Connect to the subscriber port of the broadband access modem (DSL, cable, WLL) to ETH 0/0.
2.
Connect port ETH 0/1 to your LAN.
For details on the Ethernet port pin-out and cables, refer to
Appendix C, “Cabling”
on page 59 and

Connecting the power supply
Do the following to connect the main power to the SmartNode device:
1.
Verify that the AC power supply included with your device is compatible with local standards. If it is not,
refer to Chapter 5,
“Contacting Patton for Assistance”
on page 46 to find out how to replace it with a com-
patible power supply.
Note
The SmartNode does not have a power switch; it powers on once the device
is plugged in.
The power connection is made via the barrel jack on the rear panel of the Smart-
Node. No configuration is necessary for the power supply.
2.
Connect the female end (barrel plug) to the barrel jack on the rear of the SmartNode (see
page 18) and the power supply male connectors to an appropriate power outlet.
3.
Verify that the green
