SmartNode 1000 and 2000 Series Getting Started 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.
•
Ensure that the SmartNode chassis is electrically connected to
earth ground.
• 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 (or optionally in a rack for the SmartNode 2000 Series) 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

Description
The IC-4BRV interface card provides four ISDN basic rate interface (BRI) ports, together allowing up to 8
ISDN B-channels to work in parallel.
Operating modes
With the Interface Card IC-4BRV Version 1 and 2, Ports 0 and 1 can only be Master (Net). Ports 2 and 3 can
be either Master (Net) or Slave (User). On IC-4BRV Version 3 all four ports can be either Master (Net) or
Slave (User).
The four ports can be used in three different modes, which are tabulated in table 15.
• An X in the NET column of the table means that the port performs network side signaling and that the pin
out corresponds to an ISDN NT. A NET port is connected to an ISDN terminal, i.e. a telephone or a PBX.
• An X in the USR column means that the port performs user side signaling and the pin out corresponds to
an ISDN terminal. The two ports (2, 3) have configurable pin outs.
• An X in the HW Bypass column refers to the fallback mode.
The possible BRI port configurations are listed in table 15.

BRI 1 and BRI 2 can be used to provide an emergency service. If a power failure occurs a relay connects these
two interfaces with each other.
• BRI 1 must be connected with a telephone terminal or PBX if the bypass is active.
• BRI 2 must be connected to the ISDN network if the bypass is active.

Calls from an ISDN terminal are then automatically connected to the LE of the ISDN network. The bypass may
also be activated manually. Figure 17 shows a typical fallback situation when the bypass is activated: the numbers
in the boxes refer to the IC-4BRV’s four BRI port numbers.
Figure 17. Bypass (fallback) mode
Network integration
With the configuration options tabulated above 4 BRI ports of the IC-4BRV can be connected in one of three
network configurations:
• All four ports (ports 0–3) are connected to a subscriber PBX as shown in figure 18 on page 40.
• Three ports (0, 1, 3) are connected to the PBX and one port (2) to the ISDN network (local breakout) as
shown in figure 19 on page 40. The local breakout port can be used to route calls from and to the ISDN
network. This is the fallback situation described in section “Hardware bypass” on page 38. When power
fails or the bypass is manually activated, ports 1 and 2 are inter-connected through the bypass relay, providing a lifeline to the ISDN network.
• Two ports (0, 1) are connected to the PBX and two ports (2, 3) to the ISDN network (see figure 20 on
page 41. In this case, both local breakout ports (four B-channels) can be used to route calls to the ISDN
network. Only port 1 is protected by the bypass relay.

S-Bus line power
Some ISDN terminals are powered through the S-Bus. This is usually the case for ISDN phones but not for
PBXs. If you want to connect such a terminal directly to a port of the IC-4BRV, you must install a PM-48VINT (or PM-40V-INT) power supply module. Two steps are required to provide S-Bus line power:
• Install an internal Line Power Module PM-48V-INT (or PM-40V-INT). This is described in section
“Internal PM-48V-INT or PM-40V-INT line power module installation” on page 127.
• Configure the IC-4BRV card’s jumper settings. This procedure is described in the following paragraphs.
Line power jumper settings
A set of jumper pins determines how power is supplied to the BRI ports. The jumper pin block is located on
the IC-4BRV interface card underside. See the series of illustrations, which follow.
When the line power module is installed and operating, ports 0
and 1 are always supplied with 40V power. Power output on
ports 2 and 3 is configurable. You must not supply power to a

Introduction
The SmartNode 1000 and 2000 series aggregate multiple channels of data and voice user-side traffic for transport over a single wide-area network (WAN) uplink. With one or more ISDN BRI or PRI interfaces, the
SmartNode 1000 (see figure 28) and 2000 (see figure 29) series can be connected to an ISDN PBX or to a local
exchange switch. Moreover, ISDN BRI interfaces can be used to attach ISDN telephones or to connect to an
ISDN NT for voice call fallback or call routing to the PSTN.
Figure 28. System model, SmartNode 1000 Series
Figure 29. System model, SmartNode 2000 Series
Voice is transported as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) using the H.323 standards for sending and receiving
audio and data or Patton Electronics’ proprietary ISDN over Internet Protocol (ISoIP) on an IP-based network.
Since both of the Ethernet interfaces of a SmartNode 1000 and 2000 series are fully configurable, it is the application which defines whether an interface is used for WAN or LAN connections.
Depending of the deployment scenario, optional interface cards are available for the expansion slots of SmartNode 2000 series.

SmartNode 1000 and 2000 Series Getting Started Guide 3 • Planning the installation
Introduction
Before you start the actual installation, it is strongly recommended that you gather all the information needed to
install and set-up the device. See section “Installation checklist” on page 64 for an example of what pre-installment checks you might need to carry out. Having carried out the pre-installation checks enables you to install and
set up your SmartNode 1000 or 2000 series into an existing IP or an ISDN infrastructure with confidence.
Note The chapter covers a variety of SmartNode models that are similar in func-
tionality but which differ in the number of interfaces that are supported.
Therefore, some of the information provided may not apply to your particular SmartNode model.
Note When setting up your SmartNode consider cable length limitations, and
potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) as defined by the applicable
local and international regulations. Ensure that your site is properly prepared
before beginning installation.
Before installing the SmartNode device, the following tasks should be completed:
• Create a network diagram (see section “Network diagram” on page 65)
• Gather IP related information (see section “IP related information” on page 65 for more information)
• Collect ISDN related information (see section “ISDN related information” on page 65)
• Gather synchronous serial interface information (SmartNode 2300 only) (see section “Synchronous serial
interface” on page 66 for more information)
• Install the hardware and software needed to configure the SmartNode. (See section “Synchronous serial
interface” on page 66)
• Verify power source reliability (see section “Power source” on page 67).
When you finish preparing for SmartNode installation, go to the appropriate section to install the device:
• Installing the SmartNode 1200 (see chapter 4, “SmartNode 1200 installation” on page 69)

Network information
Network connection considerations that you should take into account for planning are provided for several
types of network interfaces are described in the following sections.
Network diagram
Draw a network overview diagram that displays all neighboring IP nodes, serial connected elements and ISDN
components. It is recommended that you keep a copy in the site log (see “Site Log” on page 64 for more infor-
mation on keeping a site log).
IP related information
Before you can set up the basic IP connectivity for your SmartNode 1000 or 2000 series you need to have the
following information:
• IP addresses used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports
• Subnet mask used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports
• Lengths of Ethernet cables
• IP addresses of central H.323 gatekeeper
• IP addresses of central PSTN gateway for H.323 and/or ISoIP-based calls
• IP addresses of central TFTP server used for configuration upload and download
ISDN related information
To set up basic ISDN connectivity for your SmartNode 1000 or 2000 series you need to do or know the following:
• Check whether an additional line power is necessary and if an optional Phantom power supply or line
power module needs to be installed
• Clock source for ISDN E1 interface
• Length of the ISDN S-Bus or E1 interface cables
• The block of sequential numbers assigned by your telecom operator that are used for the direct dial inwards
(DDI) numbering plan to be used together with your PBX
• Define a multiple subscriber numbering (MSN) schema to give your individual endpoint a unique phone
number that can be dialed directly
• Check whether an ISDN port is to be configured in USR (TE) or NET (NT) mode
• Check whether an ISDN port is to be configured as point-to-point or point-to-multipoint link
S-Bus installation
When installing an ISDN S-bus and up to eight connected devices, bear in mind that the relevant ITU-T,
ETSI and ANSI standards for your equipment must be met. Your ISDN provider will help you to ensure that
you comply with the relevant standards.
An S-Bus must be terminated at both ends with 100 ohm; such termination should be at the extreme ends of
the bus.
Network information 65
3 • Planning the installation SmartNode 1000 and 2000 Series Getting Started Guide
Note Only the one device at the end should be terminated: SmartNode interfaces
are internally terminated at 100 ohm.
It is recommended that a screened cable be used of a type that has been tested to at least ISO/IEC 11801
Category 3.
According to ITU-T the maximum length of flex connecting the bus with terminal equipment may not
exceed 33 feet (10 meters). Some ISDN providers or devices may require a lesser distance, so consult your
suppliers. In accordance with ITU-T the maximum length of the S-bus depends on the delay constant of the
cable. If this is too great, the time sequence of the equipment signals attached to it may be corrupted. The
maximum distance between NT1 and TE is theoretically 656 feet (200 meters), but in practice 492 feet
(150 meters) is the usual maximum.
SmartNode BRI port configured in USR mode and connected to an S-Bus
The SmartNode acts as TE on the S-Bus: usually no other TE are connected on the S-Bus between the NT1
and the SmartNode. The general S-Bus conditions apply, the maximum recommended bus length is 492 feet
(150 meters).
Note SmartNode BRI interfaces are internally terminated at 100 ohms.
SmartNode BRI port configured in NET mode
The SmartNode acts as NT1. The general S-Bus conditions apply, the maximum recommended bus length is
492 feet (150 meters).
Note SmartNode BRI interfaces are internally terminated at 100 ohms.
Installing an S-Bus power supply
If your SmartNode 2000 series needs to be equipped with an optional line power module refer to chapter 8,
“Line power module installation” on page 125 for a more detailed description of this procedure. Check that
the jumper pins are correctly set for your method of using the IC-4BRV interface card (see section “IC-4BRV
8-channel gateway interface card for ISDN BRI” on page 37.
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be
rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated
temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability
Synchronous serial interface
The SmartNode 2300 supports the V.35 and X.21 standard for synchronous serial interfaces at speeds up to 2
Mbps. Devices that communicate over a serial interface are divided into two classes:
• Data terminal equipment (DTE): the device at the user end of the user-to-network interface. The DTE
connects to a data network via data DCE, and typically uses clocking signals generated by the DCE.
• Data communications equipment (DCE): the device at the network end of the user-to-network interface.
The DCE provides a physical connection to the network, forwards traffic, and provides a clocking signal
used to synchronize data transmission between DCE and DTE devices.
66 Network information
SmartNode 1000 and 2000 Series Getting Started Guide 3 • Planning the installation
The most important difference between these two types of device is that the DCE device supplies the clock signal that paces the communications on the interface.
Note A SmartNode 2300 functions as a DTE.
The synchronous serial port is labeled SERIAL 0/0 on the SmartNode 2300. Before you connect a device to it
you need to check the following:
• Confirm that the device that you are connecting the SmartNode to is a DCE that provides a clock signal on
the synchronous serial port
• Type of connector, male or female, required when connecting to the device port
• Signaling protocol; the device requires X.21 or V.35
Software tools
You will need a PC computer with HyperTerminal or equivalent VT-100 emulation program, or an ASCII terminal (also called a dumb terminal) to configure the software on your SmartNode device.
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. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Where to go next
When you finish preparing for SmartNode installation, go to the appropriate section to install the device:

4 • SmartNode 1200 installation SmartNode 1000 and 2000 Series Getting Started Guide
Figure 42. Connecting a BRI to an NT
External S-Bus power supply
Many ISDN telephone handsets require that 40-VDC power be supplied via the S-Bus connection. In other
words, they have no separate or built-in power supply. In general, point-to-multipoint ISDN BRI NTs supply
line power to the S-Bus. Point-to-point NTs connected to a PBX generally do not supply line power.
The SmartNode 1200 does not supply S-Bus line power on the BRI ports, however, there are two options to
provide S-Bus line power:
• If one of the BRI ports is connected to an ISDN NT, the power supplied by the NT is fed through to the
other BRI port.
• If line power is not available from the NT, but required for connected terminals, the PM-BRI-EXT S-Bus
Phantom power supply can be used.
Table 26. PM-BRI-EXT S-Bus 40V power supply
Item Phantom Power Supply; PM-BRI-EXT
Voltage Specifications Input 230VAC, Output 40VDC
The PM-BRI-EXT power supply unit is equipped with a transformer
that is specially designed for S-Bus line power. The use of a general
purpose DC power transformer may cause equipment damage.
If you use a Phantom power supply other than that supplied by
Patton Electronics Co., you must ensure that it conforms to ITU
I.430 Section 9.7.3.2.2. which specifies that the maximum current delivered shall not exceed 200mA.
76 Connecting cables
SmartNode 1000 and 2000 Series Getting Started Guide 4 • SmartNode 1200 installation
Note The following installation options are available:
• In the absence of an NT the PM-BRI-EXT may be connected
directly to the BRI 0 port on the SmartNode (see figure 43). The
terminals are connected to the BRI 1 port.
• The PM-BRI-EXT is connected to the S-Bus via an S-Bus multi-
socket (see figure 44 on page 78).
Do not plug the Phantom power supply directly into any other port than BRI 0.
Installing it on the Ethernet ports or Console port could result in serious equipment damage.

Do the following:
1. Insert the barrel type connector end of the AC power cord into the 100–240 VAC power connector (see
figure 38).
The SmartNode 1200 power supply automatically adjusts to
accept an input voltage from 100 to 240 VAC (50/60 Hz).
Verify that the proper voltage is present before plugging the
power cord into the receptacle. Failure to do so could result in
equipment damage.
Note Do not connect the other end of the power cord to the power outlet at
this time.
2. Verify that the AC power cord included with your router is compatible with local standards. If it is not,
refer to chapter 12, “Contacting Patton for assistance” on page 155 to find out how to replace it with a
compatible power cord.
3. Connect the male end of the power cord to an appropriate power outlet.
4. Verify that the green Power LED is lit (see figure 45).
5. Unplug the power cord from the router to power down the unit.

Connecting cables
Installing SmartNode 1400 cables takes place in the following order:
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be
rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated
temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability
1. Installing the 10Base-T Ethernet cable into ports ETH 0 and ETH 1 (see figure 48) (see “Installing the
Ethernet cables” on page 85).
2. Installing the BRI 0 and BRI 1 cables (see “Installing the BRI cables” on page 86).
3. Installing the power cord (see “Installing the power cord” on page 90).
Installing the Ethernet cables
Ethernet devices (10Base-T) are connected to the SmartNode’s Ethernet ports (see table 27 for port pin-out
listing) via a cable terminated with RJ-45 plugs. Use a cross-over cable to connect to a host (see figure 49 on
page 86), or a straight-through cable to connect to a hub (see figure 50 on page 86).

Note Pins not listed are not used.
Hazardous network voltages are present in the BRI cables. If you detach the
cable, detach the end away from the SmartNode or interface card first to avoid
possible electric shock. Network hazardous voltages may be present on the
device in the area of the BRI port, regardless of when power is turned OFF.
To prevent damage to the system, make certain you connect the
BRI cable to the BRI port only and not to any other RJ-45 socket.

Figure 52. Connecting a BRI to an NT
External S-Bus power supply
Many ISDN telephone handsets require that 40-VDC power be supplied via the S-Bus connection. In other
words, they have no separate or built-in power supply. In general, point-to-multipoint ISDN BRI NTs supply
line power to the S-Bus. Point-to-point NTs connected to a PBX generally do not supply line power.
The SmartNode 1400 does not supply S-Bus line power on the BRI ports, however, there are two options to
provide S-Bus line power:
• If one of the BRI ports is connected to an ISDN NT, the power supplied by the NT is fed through to the
other BRI port.
• If line power is not available from the NT, but required for connected terminals, the PM-BRI-EXT S-Bus
Phantom power supply can be used.
Table 29. PM-BRI-EXT S-Bus 40V power supply
Item Phantom Power Supply; PM-BRI-EXT
Voltage Specifications Input 230VAC, Output 40VDC
The PM-BRI-EXT power supply unit is equipped with a transformer
that is specially designed for S-Bus line power. The use of a general
purpose DC power transformer may cause equipment damage.
If you use a Phantom power supply other than that supplied by
Patton Electronics Co., you must ensure that it conforms to ITU
I.430 Section 9.7.3.2.2. which specifies that the maximum current delivered shall not exceed 200mA.
88 Connecting cables
SmartNode 1000 and 2000 Series Getting Started Guide 5 • SmartNode 1400 installation
Note The PM-BRI-EXT is connected to the S-Bus via an S-Bus multi-
socket.(see figure 53).
Do not plug the Phantom power supply directly into any other port than BRI 0.
Installing it on the Ethernet ports or Console port could result in serious equipment damage.

Installing the power cord
Do the following:
1. Insert the barrel type connector end of the AC power cord into the 100–240 VAC power connector (see
figure 48).
The SmartNode 1400 power supply automatically adjusts to
accept an input voltage from 100 to 240 VAC (50/60 Hz).
Verify that the proper voltage is present before plugging the
power cord into the receptacle. Failure to do so could result in
equipment damage.
Note Do not connect the other end of the power cord to the power outlet at
this time.
2. Verify that the AC power cord included with your router is compatible with local standards. If it is not,
refer to chapter 12, “Contacting Patton for assistance” on page 155 to find out how to replace it with a
compatible power cord.
3. Connect the male end of the power cord to an appropriate power outlet.
4. Verify that the green Power LED is lit (see figure 54).
5. Unplug the power cord from the router to power down the unit.
