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-install-
ment 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 particu-
lar 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)
• Installing the SmartNode 1400 (see chapter 5, “SmartNode 1400 installation” on page 81)
• Installing the SmartNode 2300 (see chapter 6, “SmartNode 2300 installation” on page 91)
• Installing the SmartNode 2400 (see chapter 7, “SmartNode 2400 installation” on page 109)
