The xNode2 is designed as an AoIP interface where baseband is converted to AoIP and vice versa. The target placement is in an equipment rack. The ½ RU device can be racked individually or joined with another to make a full RU assembly.
Single ½ RU mounting
Connect a single short rack ear (1451-00671) with two flat head screws to the left or right side of the xNode2.
Connect the long rack ear (1451-00670) to the other side with two flat head screws.
Dual 1 RU mounting
Fasten the L-Bracket (1771-00128) to the left side of the xNode2 with three flathead screws.
Place the second xNode2, so that the shoulder screws of the bracket fit into the keyholes. Slide the xNode2 into place. NOTE: The shoulder screws may require adjustment for better fit.
Lock the xNode2 in place with a screw secured to the back.
Fasten the two short rack ears (1451-00671) to either side with 2 flathead screws each.
Quick Start Guide
This guide assumes
Basic networking knowledge
An approved network switch properly configured for use with AoIP traffic.
Connect the configured network to the xNode2 with a patch cable (A). If the network connection offers PoE+, the xNode2 will boot. Otherwise connect AC power to the IDC connector (B).
The xNode2 will boot within 40 seconds. From the front panel, press the top button (C ) one time so the display shows the network settings. The soft key indicator of a writing utensil will appear indicating the bottom button can trigger an edit. Press and hold the bottom button (D) for 5 seconds to enter edit mode.
Use the top button to increment the value by 1 or the bottom button to move the cursor to the next slot. Set an IP address for Network Port 1 and the appropriate netmask value. Continue to move the cursor through all the slots. Once passed through the all slots, a pop up will ask to confirm the IP change. Press the top button (C ) to highlight Yes followed by the bottom button (D) to confirm.
Device will reboot with the assigned IP address which you can use to access the configuration pages of the device.
Begin by launching a web browser and entering the IP address you just assigned to the xNode2. The device will ask for authentication.
info
The following authentication will be in place at initial release to maintain similarity to the previous xNode, but will change at a future date.
The username will be user and there is no password.
Refer to the in depth chapter or the chapter related to the model you are using for detailed configuration options.
