Power source

If you suspect that your AC power is not reliable, for example if room lights flicker often or there is machinery
with large motors nearby, have a qualified professional test the power. Patton recommends that you include an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in the installation to ensure that VoIP service is not impaired if the power
fails.

Location and mounting requirements

chassis for cable connections. Additionally, you should consider the need to access the unit for future upgrades
and maintenance.
To prevent overheating and damaging the unit, proper ventilation is required when placing the device. The
device should be installed in a dry environment with sufficient space to allow air circulation for cooling.
Do not stack multiple SmartNode devices directly on top of one another, and do not
place items on top of the device. If you will be installing equipment above the Smart-
Node device, leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance between the devices.
CAUTION
