10.2 Audience
The information is intended for the person installing the SmartNode. You should be familiar with
electronic circuitry and wiring practices and have experience as an electronic or electromechanical
technician.
Warning:
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this
equipment. Before you start to work on a chassis, to open a chassis or to work near power supplies,
unplug the power cord of your SmartNode.
10.3 Overview
The SmartNode 1000 and 2000 series aggregate multiple channels of data and voice user-side traffic
for transport over a singlewide area network (WAN) uplink. With one or more ISDN BRI or PRI
interfaces the SmartNode 1000 (see Figure 10-1) and 2000 (see Figure 10-2) series can be connected to
an ISDN PBX or to 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.
Voice is transported as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) using the H.323 standards for sending
and receiving audio and data or Inalp Networks’ proprietary ISDN over Internet Protocol (ISoIP) on
an IP-based network.
