Introduction
The SmartNode 1000 and 2000 series aggregate multiple channels of data and voice user-side traffic for trans-
port over a single wide-area network (WAN) uplink. With one or more ISDN BRI or PRI interfaces, the
SmartNode 1000 (see
figure 28
) and 2000 (see
figure 29
) series can be connected to an ISDN PBX or to a 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 Patton Electronics’ proprietary ISDN over Internet Protocol (ISoIP) on an IP-based network.
Since both of the Ethernet interfaces of a SmartNode 1000 and 2000 series are fully configurable, it is the applica-
tion which defines whether an interface is used for WAN or LAN connections.
Depending of the deployment scenario, optional interface cards are available for the expansion slots of Smart-
Node 2000 series.
