SmartNode 4400 Quick Start Guide
Introduction
This Quick Start Guide leads you through the basic steps to set up a new SmartNode (see figure 1) and to
download a configuration. Please note that this guide does not replace the detailed Software Configuration
Guide and the Getting Started Guide on the CD-ROM and available online at www.patton.com/voip.
Figure 1. SmartNode 4400
SmartNodes can be used for a wide variety of IP and voice over IP applications. To support and ease the config-
uration of the SmartNodes, configuration templates for the most important applications are available online at
http://www.patton.com/voip/appnotes.shtml.
Setting up a new SmartNode consists of the following steps:
1. Connect a PC to the SmartNode, log in and configure your LAN IP address (see page 5 for details)
2. Connect the SmartNode to the LAN (see page 7)
3. Download a configuration example, adapt it to your network, and load it onto the SmartNode (see page 8)

Connecting a PC, logging in, and configuring the LAN IP address 5
SmartNode 4400 Quick Start Guide
Connecting a PC, logging in, and configuring the LAN IP address
Connecting power and configuring the default IP address
Connect the SmartNode to the mains power supply using the included power supply and cable. When the
RUN LED stops blinking and remains lit, the SmartNode is ready.
The factory default IP settings are listed in table 1. If these addresses do not work with your network they must
be changed. Contact your network administrator if you are not sure which IP address to use in
your installation.
Note The DHCP server is running on the ETH 0/1 of the SN4400 Series
models. All Ethernet ports are pre-configured and active.
Connecting to a PC and logging in
1. To access the SmartNode configuration, connect a PC equipped with an RS-232 console port to the Con-
sole port on the front of the SmartNode. Use the included black Ethernet cable and RJ45 to DB-9 adapter
for this purpose (Model 16F-561).
Figure 2. Connecting to the PC
2. Open a Terminal connection to the SmartNode. Use the Terminal program included with most PC operat-
ing systems (e.g. Hyper Terminal on Windows). The CD-ROM also includes some recommended termi-
nal programs.

3. Type administrator as the login prompt and press the Enter key after the password prompt (do not type
anything for the password). A prompt will appear consisting of the IP address and >character.
login:administrator
password:
172.16.40.1>
4. Following log in, the SmartNode is in operator execution mode (indicated by >character in the command
line prompt). With the commands enable and configure, you enter the configuration mode.
172.16.40.1>enable
172.16.40.1#configure
172.16.40.1(cfg)#
Changing the IP address
1. Select the context IP mode to configure an IP interface.
172.16.40.1(cfg)#context ip router
172.16.40.1(ctx-ip)[router]#
2. Set the IP address and network mask for the each IP interface (eth0, for example).
Note For the examples in this guide, a private network (172.16.1) IP
address is used.
172.16.40.1(ctx-ip)[router]#interface eth0
172.16.40.1(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress 172.16.1.10 255.255.255.0
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link down on interface eth0.
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link up on interface eth0.
172.16.1.10(if-ip)[eth0]#
3. Make this modified configuration your new start-up configuration. On the next start-up the system will
initialize itself using the modified configuration.
172.16.1.10 (if-ip)[eth0]#copy running-config startup-config
172.16.1.10 (if-ip)[eth0]#
Go to section “Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN” on page 7 to connect the SmartNode to
your network.

Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN 7
SmartNode 4400 Quick Start Guide
Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN
The 4400 Ethernet ports are auto MDX, therefore a straight-through wired cable can be used for host and
switch connections (see figure 3).
Figure 3. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
You can check the connection with the ping command to another host on the local LAN.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#ping <IP Address of the host>
Respectively from the host: ping 172.16.1.99
Note To ping outside your local LAN, you will need to configure the
default gateway.
You may now start to configure the SmartNode from scratch using the CLI commands, but we recommend
that you start your configuration from a template. See “Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to
your network, and loading it onto the SmartNode” on page 8 for further details.
For a detailed description of the CLI refer to the SmartWare Software Configuration Guide (SCG) available on
the CD-ROM and online at: www.patton.com/voip.

Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to your network, and loading it onto the SmartNode 8
SmartNode 4400 Quick Start Guide
Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to your network,
and loading it onto the SmartNode
Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the CD-ROM that came with the SmartNode
device—and also on the support page at www.patton.com/voip/appnotes.shtml—one of which may be simi-
lar enough to your application that you can use it to speed up configuring the SmartNode. Simply download
the configuration note that matches your application to your PC. Adapt the configuration as described in the
configuration note to your network (remember to modify the IP address) and copy the modified configuration
to a TFTP server. The SmartNode can now load its configuration from this server.
Note Patton regularly adds new configuration templates to the collection at
www.patton.com/voip/appnotes.shtml,so if you do not see your applica-
tion on the CD-ROM, it may have been added to the website.
Note If your application is unique and not covered by any of Patton’s configura-
tion templates, you can manually configure the SmartNode instead of load-
ing a configuration file template. In that case, refer to the SmartNode Series
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide for information on configuring the
SmartNode device.
In this example we assume the TFTP server on the host with the IP address 172.16.1.11 and the configuration
named SN.cfg in the root directory of the TFTP server.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#copy tftp://172.16.1.11/SN.cfg startup-config
Download...100%
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
After the SmartNode has been rebooted the new startup configuration will be activated.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#reload
Running configuration has been changed.
Do you want to copy the 'running-config' to the 'startup-config'?
Press 'yes' to store, 'no' to drop changes : no
Press 'yes' to restart, 'no' to cancel : yes
The system is going down
Additional information
For detailed information about configuring and operating guidance, set up procedures, and troubleshooting,
refer to the SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Configuration Guide and the SmartNode Getting Started Guide
on the enclosed Patton VoIP CD-ROM or at http://www.patton.com/voip/. On the CD-ROM you will also
find numerous freeware and shareware tools, including TFTP servers, Telnet clients, etc..
When you issue the reload command, the SmartNode will ask
if you want to copy the running configuration to the startup con-
figuration. Since you just downloaded a configuration file to the
startup configuration you must answer this question with NO.
Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be overwritten
and lost!
