interface cable for 120 Ohm balanced connections to connect the SmartNode with
an NT or ET, e.g. a PBX or LE.
PRI 0/3 RJ-45 connector providing E1 (2.048Mbps) or T1(1.533 Mbps) PRI interface, meet-
ing all requirements of ITU-T recommendations for G.703. Use a shielded E1 or T1
interface cable for 120 Ohm balanced connections to connect the SmartNode with
an NT or ET, e.g. a PBX or LE.
Console
Used for service and maintenance, the Console port (see figure 2), an RS-232 RJ-45
connector, connects the product to a serial terminal such as a PC or ASCII terminal
(also called a dumb terminal).

LED Description
Note If an error occurs, all LEDs will flash once per second.
Power When lit, indicates power is applied.
Run When lit, the unit is in normal operation. Flashes once per second during
boot (startup).
VoIP Link
• On indicates the gateway is registered to an H.323 gatekeeper/SIP server, or,
in the case of direct routing, has at least one active VoIP connection.
• Off indicates the unit is not configured or registered, or has no active direct-
routed VoIP connection.
• Flashing green indicates that the unit is attempting to register or has failed
to register.
Ethernet Link
Ethernet Speed
10/100
• On when the Ethernet connection on the corresponding port has a

When the Ethernet Link LED is on, then:
• On when the Ethernet is connected to a 100Mb network.
• Off when the Ethernet is connected to a 10Mb network.

Introduction
Patton’s SmartNode VoIP 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 and data networks. This chapter describes typical
applications for which this SmartNode is 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 at www.patton.com.
Application—Edge intelligence of enterprise communication
Enterprises are excited about voice over IP and convergence for the following reasons:
• Bypassing the PSTN. Using Internet telephony service providers (ITSPs) instead of incumbent carriers dra-
matically reduces telephony costs
• IP PBXs, with their full suite of features and ease of integration into existing IT environments are
very appealing
• Convergence lowers technology ownership costs and enables enterprises to deploy new
integrated applications
However, there are several concerns about migrating the whole telephony infrastructure to VoIP:
• Loss of voice quality
• Unknown reliability
• Lack of experience/expertise in voice over IP
Patton’s SmartNode series of VoIP gateways address these concerns enabling enterprises to safely migrate to
VoIP. SmartNodes enable system administrators to gradually introduce VoIP, using it as the edge communication device for all worlds, connecting PSTN, legacy PBX, ITSPs and an IP PBX.
