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 sig-
nal 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 termi-
nal (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.
