Safety when working with electricity
•
This device contains no user serviceable parts. The equipment shall be
returned to Patton Electronics for repairs, or repaired by qualified service
personnel.
• Mains Voltage: Do not open the case when the power cord is connected. For
systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the
power supply when the power cord is connected.
•
The external power adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source. Ensure
that the power cable used meets all applicable standards for the country in
which it is to be installed, and that it is connected to a wall outlet which has
earth ground. The mains outlet that is utilized to power the devise shall be
within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily accessible, and pro-
tected by a circuit breaker.
•
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of
whether power to the SmartNode is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock, use
caution when near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end
away from the SmartNode first.
• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
•
Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone network cables to
avoid contact with telephone line voltages.
In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/
96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other
waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE collection system in
your country for recycling.

Preventing electrostatic discharge damage
When starting to install interface cards place the interface card on its shielded plastic bag if you lay it on your bench.
General observations
•Clean the case with a soft slightly moist anti-static cloth
•Place the unit on a flat surface and ensure free air circulation
•Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight and other heat sources
•Protect the unit from moisture, vapors, and aggressive liquids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair
electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards
are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermit-
tent failures. Do the following to prevent ESD:
•
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing
and replacing cards.
•
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.

Model 2292 & 2294 Series Getting Started Guide 2 • Applications overview
Typical application
Leased-line extension
The SmartNode 2292 and 2294 Series Leased-Line Extenders allow you to save big on leased line costs. Using
only one extender on each side, audio information on up to four leased-lines can be transported over a packet-
based network. This essentially ensures that with just Internet access at two locations, four leased lines between
these two locations can be established.
Combine this with IP routing, VPN/Security, and Quality of Service for up to 4 transparent voice channels
and FAX calls over any IP or PSTN network, the 2292/2294 leverages low-cost IP services with packet-voice
for complete branch office voice and data connectivity.
