The SmartNode 4630 series consists of two models: the SN4634 and SN4638. Both models come equipped
with two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports.
The SmartNode 4638 Gateway-Router performs the following major functions:
• Eight channels of Voice over IP and local voice switching via 5 ISDN BRI S
0
ports. Each port can be
switched between NT and TE per software. One port can be used a clock source.
• For each ISDN S0 port in NT mode a Phantom power supply can be switched on. The total delivered
power is 4W.
• A fallback cut-through relay between ISDN BRI ports 0/0 and 0/1 electrically connects the NT and TE
port in case of power failure and enables life-line calls to the public ISDN network (PSTN-supplied
ISDN line must be used).
• Standard compliant VoIP in accordance with SIP or H.323 protocols.
• Internet access and IP Routing with IP Quality of Service (QoS) support for mixed voice and data traffic.
The SN4634 is the same as the SN4638 except that it supports 3 ISDN BRI S
0
ports and 4 VoIP channels.
