SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 1 • System overview
Typical services in these networks are softswitch-based telephony, PSTN access through V5.2 gateways, PBX
networking services, and LAN interconnection.
Typical access technologies for these networks include xDSL, WLL, PowerLine, cable and conventional leased
lines. With the use of an external modem, the SmartNode can connect to leased lines or any bridged-Ethernet
broadband access.
Enterprise networks
In company-owned and operated wide area networks, SmartNodes can be used to converge voice and data
communications on the same IP link.
In combination with centralized services such as groupware and unified messaging, the SmartNodes provide
migration and investment protection for legacy telephony systems.
Figure 3. Typical enterprise network with SmartNode
Figure 3 shows the deployment of SmartNodes in enterprise networks. Each site (headquarter, branch or home
office) is equipped with a SmartNode that connects the local LAN and telephony infrastructure with the IP
WAN and the local PSTN carrier.
