Safety when working with electricity
•
Do not open the device when the power cord is connected. For systems
without a power switch and without an external power adapter, line volt-
WARNING
ages are present within the device when the power cord is connected.
•
For devices with an external power adapter, the power adapter shall be a
listed Limited Power Source The mains outlet that is utilized to power the
device shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily
accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in compliance with local regulatory requirements.
•
For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable used meets all applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed.
•
For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor power plugs (L1, L2 &
GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/Protective Ground), the wall outlet (or
socket) must have an earth ground.
•
For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnecting cables are rated
for proper voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
mechanical serviceability.
•
WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have hazardous voltages
present regardless of whether the device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN
relates to interfaces such as telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL, T1, E1,
ISDN, Voice, etc. These are known as “hazardous network voltages” and
to avoid electric shock use caution when working near these ports. When
disconnecting cables for these ports, detach the far end connection first.
•
Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity
WARNING
This device contains no user serviceable parts. This device can only be
repaired by qualified service personnel.
In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/
96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other
waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE collection system in
your country for recycling.

SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and
replacing cards.
CAUTION
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 corrosive liquids

SN4950-NCE model codes
The SmartNode 4950-NCE series consists of several models. They differ in the number of PRI ports and voice
channels supported. All models come equipped with two 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports. The SmartNode
4950-NCE PRI ports and voice channels are listed in table 2. The SmartNode 4950-NCE G.SHDSL models
are listed in table 3.

SN4951-NCE model codes
The high precision SmartNode 4951-NCE models have a Stratum III clock. The Stratum III clock provides a
clock source of < 5 ppm. For PBXs that used to rely on PSTN for accurate clock source, the SmartNode 4951
can provide a PSTN-equivalent high precision clock. The popular DECT PBX needs such high precision
clocks.
Note
For high precision clock models, replace SN4950-NCE with SN4951
in the model code.
