SmartNode 4900 Quick Start Guide
Introduction
This Quick Start Guide leads you through the basic steps to set up a new SmartNode and to download a con-
figuration. Please note that this guide does not replace the detailed SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
and the SmartNode 4900 User Manual available online at www.patton.com/manuals/SN4900.pdf.
SmartNodes can be used for a wide variety of IP and voice over IP applications. To support and ease the con-
figuration of the SmartNodes configuration templates for the most important applications are available online
at www.patton.com/voip/appnotes.asp.
Setting up a new SmartNode consists of the following steps:
1. Attach the power cable retainer clips to the unit
2. Connect a PC to the SmartNode, log in and configure your LAN IP address (see page 4 for details)
3. Connect the SmartNode to the LAN (see page 6)
4. Download a configuration example, adapt it to your network, and load it onto the SmartNode (see page 7)
Attaching the cable retainer clips
To secure the power cord, it is necessary to attach the metal retainer clips (if applicable to your model). Squeeze
the clip and insert into the holes in the screws on either side of the power connector on your unit. The clip will
pop into place.
Figure 1. Attaching the cable retainer clips
Note
Refer to the SmartNode 4900 User Manual on the Patton website for
detailed instructions about grounding and connecting power to your
unit.
For FXO (/JO) models: To maintain CE/EMC compliance,
attach the included snap-on ferrite clamp (Patton P/N 0818S-
02) to the 64/50 pin telco cable (not included but available
upon request) about four inches away from the FXO box telco
port connector.

SmartNode 4900 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 SN4900 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 oper-
ating systems (e.g. Hyper Terminal on Windows).

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 6 to connect the SmartNode to
your network.

Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN 6
SmartNode 4900 Quick Start Guide
Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN
The 4900 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 7 for further details.
For a detailed description of the CLI refer to the SmartWare Software Configuration Guide (SCG) available on
online at: www.patton.com/smartnode.

Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to your network, and loading it onto the SmartNode 7
SmartNode 4900 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 support page at www.patton.com/smartnode—
one of which may be similar enough to your application that you can use it to speed up configuring the Smart-
Node. Simply download the configuration note that matches your application to your PC. Adapt the configu-
ration 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 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 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 martWare Software Configuration Guide and the SmartNode 4900 User Manual on www.pat-
ton.com/smartnode.
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!
