The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.
Connecting the SmartNode to the Network
In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the
WAN (ETH 0/0)
port. This enables the Smart-
Node to offer routing services to the PC hosts on
LAN (ETH 0/1)
port. The SmartNode 5531 is equipped with
Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connec-
tions. (see
).
Figure 8. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
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.
For the ISDN connection to a carrier network, it shall be con-
nected to a network termination device and not connected
directly to an outside POTS line.
