SmartNode 5400 Getting Started Guide
3 • SmartNode installation
Connect the cables in the following order:
1.
Connect the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN (see section
“Connecting the
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN cables”
on page 25)
2.
If applicable, connect the DSL WAN port (see section
“Connecting the DSL WAN cable”
on page 25)
3.
Connect the power mains cable (see section
“Connecting the power supply”
on page 26)
Connecting the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN cables
The SmartNode 5400 has automatic MDX (auto-crossover) detection and configuration on all Ethernet ports.
Any of the ports can be connected to a host or hub/switch with a straight-through or cross-over wired cable.
1.
Connect to the subscriber port of the broadband access modem (DSL, cable, WLL) to
ETH 0/0
.
Note
The SmartNode Ethernet ports operate in Full Duplex mode only. Do not
connect to Half Duplex ports. For best results, use auto-negotiation. Auto
negotiation is mandatory when using 1000BaseT (Gigabit) Ethernet.
2.
Connect port ETH 0/1 to your LAN.
Connecting the DSL WAN cable
The SmartNode Model 5400 comes with an option for a G.SHDSL WAN interface. Use a straight-through
RJ-11 cable to connect the G.SHDSL port.
For details on the Ethernet port pinout and cables, refer to
Appendix C, “Cabling”
on page 51 and
Appendix
D, “Port pin-outs”
on page 54.
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use
and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt-
age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
mechanical serviceability.
