Compliance information

Radio and TV interference

The SmartNode router generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly-that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions-may cause interference to radio and television reception. The SmartNode router have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A comput­ing device in accordance with specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to pro­vide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the SmartNode router does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).
Disconnect all power before servicing.
The SmartNode router contains no user serviceable parts.
The mains outlet that is utilized to power the equipment must be within 1 foot (3 meters) of the device and shall be easily accessible.

CE notice

The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates that it is in compliance with the Electromag­netic Compatibility (EMC) directive and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the European Union (EU).

Service

All warranty and non-warranty repairs must be returned freight prepaid and insured to Patton Electronics. All returns must have a Return Materials Authorization number on the outside of the shipping container. This number may be obtained from Patton Electronics Technical Services at:

Precautions

Notes and cautions, which have the following meanings, are used throughout this guide to help you become aware of potential Router problems. Warnings relate to personal injury issues, and Cautions refer to potential property damage.
Note
Calls attention to important information.
The shock hazard symbol and WARNING heading indicate a potential electric shock hazard. Strictly follow the warning instructions to avoid injury caused by electric shock.
The alert symbol and WARNING heading indicate a potential safety hazard. Strictly follow the warning instructions to avoid personal injury.
The shock hazard symbol and CAUTION heading indicate a potential electric shock hazard. Strictly follow the instructions to avoid property damage caused by electric shock.
The alert symbol and CAUTION heading indicate a potential haz­ard. Strictly follow the instructions to avoid property damage.

Safety when working with electricity

Mains Voltage: Do not open the case when the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the SmartNode is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock, use caution when near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the SmartNode first.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone network cables to avoid contact with telephone line voltages.
Ultimate disposal of this equipment must be handled according to all applicable national laws and regulations.
About this guide

Preventing electrostatic discharge damage

When starting to install interface cards place the interface card on its shielded plastic bag if you lay it on your bench.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermit­tent failures. Do the following to prevent ESD:
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing
and replacing cards.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.
To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

General observations

Clean the case with a soft slightly moist anti-static cloth
Place the unit on a flat surface and ensure free air circulation
Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight and other heat sources
Protect the unit from moisture, vapors, and aggressive liquids

Introduction

Patton’s SmartNode Media Gateway Routers deliver the features you need for advanced multiservice voice and data network applications. They combine high quality voice-over-IP with powerful quality of service routing functions to build professional and reliable VoIP networks. This chapter describes typical applications for which the SmartNodes are uniquely suited.
Note Detailed configuration information for the applications can be found on the
CD-ROM that was included with your SmartNode device or online from the Patton webserver.

Applications for SmartNode 4110 Series

The SmartNode 4110 Series device, equipped with a single Ethernet port, provides gateway and over-IP line extension services.

SIP and H.323 terminal and PSTN gateways

All models provide voice-over-IP and FAX-over-IP services for integration into a VoIP network running the SIP or H.323 protocol (see figure 8). The SmartNode 4110 Series supports automatic registration to a Gatekeeper or SIP server to provide analog extension services or PSTN breakout connectivity.
