SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide Precautions Notes, cautions, and warnings, which have the following meanings, are used throughout this guide to help you become aware of potential problems. Warnings are intended to prevent safety hazards that could result in personal injury. Cautions are intended to prevent situations that could result in property damage or impaired functioning. Note A note presents additional information or interesting sidelights.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide Safety when working with electricity • Do not open the device when the power cord is connected. For systems WARNING • • • • • • without a power switch and without an external power adapter, line voltages are present within the device when the power cord is connected.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. CAUTION Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 1 • General information SmartNode 4950-NCE overview The SmartNode 4950-NCE T1/E1 PRI VoIP Router (see figure 1) combines Universal SIP Trunking, IP routing, VPN/Security, and Quality of Service with high-quality Voice over IP (VoIP) delivered on 1 to 4 Primary Rate Interfaces (PRI T1/E1). This combination paves the way for enterprises’ migration to unified communications by integrating legacy telephone systems with PSTN and VoIP networks. Figure 1.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 1 • General information SN4950-NCE model codes The SmartNode 4950-NCE series consists of several models. They differ in the number of PRI ports and voice channels supported. All models come equipped with two 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports. The SmartNode 4950-NCE PRI ports and voice channels are listed in table 2. The SmartNode 4950-NCE G.SHDSL models are listed in table 3. Table 2.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 1 • General information SN4951-NCE model codes The high precision SmartNode 4951-NCE models have a Stratum III clock. The Stratum III clock provides a clock source of < 5 ppm. For PBXs that used to rely on PSTN for accurate clock source, the SmartNode 4951 can provide a PSTN-equivalent high precision clock. The popular DECT PBX needs such high precision clocks. Note For high precision clock models, replace SN4950-NCE with SN4951 in the model code.

SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 3 • SmartNode installation Planning the installation Before installing the gateway router device, the following tasks should be completed: • Create a network diagram (see section “Network information” on page 23) • Gather IP related information (see section “IP related information” on page 23 for more information) • Install the hardware and software needed to configure the SmartNode.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 3 • SmartNode installation • IP addresses of central H.323 gatekeeper (if used) • IP addresses and/or URL of SIP servers or Internet telephony services (if used) • Login and password for PPPoE Access • Login and password for SIP or H.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 3 • SmartNode installation Connect the cables in the following order: CAUTION The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability. 1. Connect the T1/E1 cables to the PRI T1/E1 ports (see Appendix C on page 53 and Appendix D on page 58). 2.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 3 • SmartNode installation Connecting the power supply • Do not connect power to the AC Mains at this time. WARNING CAUTION • The external power adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source. • The 4950-NCE external power supply automatically adjusts to accept an input voltage from 100 to 240 VAC (50/60 Hz). Verify that the proper voltage is present before plugging the power cord into the receptacle. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage. 1.

SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 4 • Initial configuration Introduction This chapter leads you through the basic steps to set up a new SmartNode and to download a configuration. Setting up a new SmartNode consists of the following main steps: Note If you haven’t already installed the SmartNode, refer to chapter 3, “SmartNode installation” on page 22.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 4 • Initial configuration 2. Configuring the desired IP address Factory-default IP settings The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and network masks are listed in table 7. Both Ethernet interfaces are activated upon power-up. LAN interface ETH 0/1 (LAN) provides a default DHCP server, the WAN interface uses DHCP client to automatically assign the IP address and network mask. Table 7.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 4 • Initial configuration Now you can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH 0/0 (WAN). Within this example a network 172.16.1.0/24 address is assumed. The IP address in this example is set to 172.16.1.99 (you should set this the IP address given to you by your network provider). 192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#interface WAN 192.168.1.1(if-ip)[WAN]#ipaddress 172.16.1.99 255.255.255.0 2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link down on interface WAN.
SmartNode 4950-NCE Getting Started Guide 4 • Initial configuration You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the network. 172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#ping Note If the WAN address is not set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local LAN you must first configure the default gateway.
