Safety when working with electricity
The alert symbol and WARNING heading indicate a potential safety hazard.
Strictly follow the warning instructions to avoid personal injury.
The shock hazard symbol and CAUTION heading indicate a potential electric shock haz-
ard. Strictly follow the instructions to avoid property damage caused by electric shock.
The alert symbol and CAUTION heading indicate a potential hazard. Strictly follow the
instructions to avoid property damage.
The SmartNode device contains no user serviceable parts, and is not be opened
by the user. The equipment shall be returned to Patton Electronics for repairs or
repaired by qualified service personnel.
Mains Voltage: In systems without a power switch, line voltages are present in the
power supply when the power cord is connected. The mains outlet used to power
the SmartNode device shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, be easily
accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker.
For AC powered units, ensure that the power cable used meets all applicable stan-
dards for the country in which it is to be installed, and that it is connected to a wall
outlet which has earth ground.
For units with an external power adapter, the adapter shall be a listed Limited
Power Source.
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 the cables, detach the end away from the Smart-
Node first.
Before handling the device, disconnect the telephone network cables to avoid
contact with telephone line voltages. When detaching the cables, detach the end
away from the SmartNode device first.

Warnhinweise:
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
Dieses Gerät ist NICHT für den Anschluss an das Telefonnetz (PSTN) bestimmt
und auch NICHT dafür zugelassen. Es ist nur für den Anschluss an Endgeräte
beim Kunden vorgesehen.
•Das Gerät entält keine austauschbaren Komponenten und ist vom Benutzer nicht zu
öffnen. Bei Systemen ohne Netzschalter und ohne externes Netzteil liegt Netzspan-
nung im Gerät an, wenn das Netzkabel angeschlossen ist.
•Bei Geräten mit externem Netzteil muss das Netzteil die Anforderungen an eine zuge-
lassene Stromquelle mit begrenzter Leistung erfüllen. Die Steckdose, die für die
Stromversorgung des Gerätes verwendet wird, sollte höchstens 3 Meter vom Gerät
entfernt und leicht zugänglich sein sowie durch einen den örtlichen regulatorischen
Anforderungen entsprechenden Schutzschalter abgesichert sein.
•Für mit Wechselstrom betriebene Geräte muss sichergestellt sein, dass das verwen-
dete Netzkabel alle gültigen Normen des Landes erfüllt, in dem es eingesetzt werden
soll.
•Für mit Wechselstrom betriebene Geräte, die 3-polige Netzstecker haben (L1, L2 u.
GND oder Phase, Neutralleiter u. Schutzleiter), muss die Steckdose geerdet sein.
•Für mit Gleichstrom betriebene Geräte muss sichergestellt sein, dass die Verbindung-
skabel für Spannung, Strom, erwartete Temperatur, Entflammbarkeit und mecha-
nische Wartbarkeit geeignet sind.
•WAN-, LAN- u. PSTN-Ports (Anschlüsse) können unter gefährlicher Spannung ste-
hen, unabhängig davon, ob das Gerät ein- oder ausgeschaltet ist. PSTN bezieht sich
auf Schnittstellen wie Telefon, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL, T1, E1, ISDN, Voice, usw. Diese
sind als „gefährliche Netzwerkspannungen“ bekannt. Um einen elektrischen Schlag
zu vermeiden, muss in der Nähe dieser Anschlüsse mit Vorsicht gearbeitet werden.
Werden Kabel von diesen Anschlüssen getrennt, zuerst das Kabel am anderen Ende
herausziehen.
•Während eines Gewitters darf nicht am Gerät gearbeitet werden und es dürfen keine
Kabel angeschlossen oder vom Netz getrennt werden.
In Übereinstimmung mit den Anforderungen der Richtlinie 2002/96/EG über Elektro- und
Elektronik-Altgeräte (WEEE) muss sichergestellt sein, dass Altgeräte von anderem Abfall
und Schrott getrennt werden und dem Sammel- und Verwertungssystem für Elektro- und
Elektronik-Altgeräte in Ihrem Land zum Recycling zugeführt werden.

SmartNode devices overview
SmartNode SN5540 Enterprise Session Border Controllers (eSBCs) and Integrated Access Devices (IADs), and
SN4140 VoIP Gateways (see figure 1) combine IP routing, VoIP security, DSL access and quality of service
(QoS) for up to 8 voice and FAX calls over any IP. Leverage low-cost IP services with packet-voice for complete
branch office voice and data connectivity or for legacy equipment integration into All-IP environments.
Figure 1. SmartNode 5540 and 4140
The SmartNode SN5540 eSBC and IAD, and SN4140 VoIP Gateway are equipped with 2, 4 or 8 analog
interfaces (FXS/FXO), and provide the following major functions:
•Analog telephony to voice over IP (SIP) conversion for 2, 4 or 8 analog ports FXS/FXO
•Fax T.38 and G711 bypass support
•Modem bypass support
•Optional PacketSmart
•One Ethernet port
•Stateful Firewall
•QoS
The 2-Ethernet-port gateways support:
•Two Ethernet ports (IP Routing requires license to enable)
•USB port
In addition, the eSBC supports:
•IP routing including GRE, BGP, VPN1
•4 SIP to SIP calls (license upgradeable up to a total of 200)
•SIP TLS/SRTP included
•SIP Registrar included
While the IAD models support on top of the eSBC
•WAN access termination (VDSL2, ADSL2/2+, SHDSL, Fiber SFP)
Section “SmartNode 5540 Series eSBC/IAD” on page 15 provides more information on the device. Section
“SmartNode SN4140 Series VoIP Gateway” on page 18 describes the SmartNode 4140 Series.

SmartNode 5540 Series eSBC/IAD
The SmartNode 5540 eSBC/IAD Series are compact Enterprise Session Border Controllers that support 2 up
to 8 voice calls (FXS/FXO–VoIP and versa) depending on the model (see figure 2) and up to 200 SIP-to-SIP
calls (non-transcoded). By default there are 4 SIP to SIP calls enabled. Additional calls can be enabled by load-
ing SNSW-1B licenses (additional charge). The IAD versions also have WAN uplink termination included,
such as Fiber-SFP, ADSL/VDSL or G.SHDSL (EFM/ATM).

Port descriptions
The SmartNode 5540 Series rear panel ports are described in table 2.
Table 2. Rear panel ports
Port Description
Ethernet
ETH 0/0 & ETH 0/1
RJ-45 connectors that connect the SmartNode device to an Ethernet device
(e.g., a cable or DSL modem, LAN hub or switch).
Analog voice ports,
FXS 0/0–FXS 0/7
FXS RJ-11(6 position, 4 wire) connectors that connect the device with an
analog terminal (a telephone, for example). FXS on-hook voltage is 48V
for each FXS port.
Analog voice ports,
FXO 0/0–FXO 0/7
FXO RJ-11 (6 position, 4 wire) connectors. These ports connect to FXS
devices such as the PSTN.
Power The SmartNode device requires 12 VDC, 1.25 A power for operation.
Every SmartNode device comes with an external power supply converting
from AC to DC power (100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz).
USB 2.0 USB 2.0 host port used to connect a USB 3G/4G cellular modem. A list of
supported USB models can be found here Certified USB Modems
WAN interface SFP, VDSL-
ADSL, G.SHDSL (EFM-ATM)
The VDSL-ADSL, G.SHDSL, RJ-45 Ethernet and SFP slot status LEDs
are located on either side of the port. ACT (when lit or blinking) shows
activity, and LINK (when lit) shows that the port is connected. 1000 is
indicating when a Gigabit Ethernet link is established
Note: On VDSL-ADSL models (/AVA and /AVB) only, the ACT LED has
no function.
Reset The reset button has several functions, as described in appendix F,
“Reset Button Functions” on page 64.
