Planning the installation

Before you start the actual installation, it is strongly recommended that you gather all the information needed
to install and setup the device. See

table 3

for an example of what pre-installment checks you might need to

carry out. Having carried out the pre-installation checks enables you to install and set up your SmartNode
extender into an existing infrastructure with confidence.

Note

When setting up your SmartNode extender consider cable length limita-
tions, and potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) as defined by the
applicable local and international regulations. Ensure that your site is prop-
erly prepared before beginning installation.

Before installing the SmartNode extender device, the following tasks should be completed:

Create a network diagram (see section

“Network information”

on page 24)

Gather IP related information (see section

“IP related information”

on page 24 for more information)

Install the hardware and software needed to configure the SmartNode. (See section

“Software tools”

on

page 24)

Verify power source reliability (see section

“Power source”

on page 24).

When you finish preparing for SmartNode extender installation, go to section

“Installing the SmartNode

extender”

on page 25 to install the device.

The mains outlet that is utilized to power the equipment must be
within 1 foot (0.3048 meters) of the device and shall be easily
