Planning the installation
Before you start the actual installation, we strongly recommend that you gather all the information you will
need to install and setup the device. See
table 3
for an example of what pre-installment checks you might need
to carry out. Completing the pre-installation checks enables you to install and set up your VoIP IAD within an
existing network infrastructure with confidence.
Note
When setting up your VoIP IAD you must consider cable-length lim-
itations, 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 VoIP IAD device, the following tasks should be completed:
•
Create a network diagram
(see section
“Network information”
on page 31)
•
Gather IP related information
(see section
“IP related information”
on page 31 for more information)
•
Install the hardware and software needed to configure the SmartNode
. (See section
“Software tools”
on
page 32)
•
Verify power source reliability
(see section
“Power source”
on page 32).
When you finish preparing for your VoIP IAD installation, go to section
“Installing the VoIP IAD”
on
page 32 to install the device.
