• Do not open the device when the power cord is connected. For sys-
tems without a power switch and without an external power
adapter, line voltages are present within the device when the power
cord is connected.
• For devices with an external power adapter, the power adapter shall
be a listed Limited Power Source The mains outlet that is utilized to
power the device shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device,
shall be easily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in compli-
ance with local regulatory requirements.
• For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable used meets all
applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed.
• For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor power plugs (L1, L2
& GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/Protective Ground), the wall outlet
(or socket) must have an earth ground.
• For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnecting cables are
rated for proper voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammabil-
ity, and mechanical serviceability.

1.0 Power up the SmartNode
1. Insert the barrel type connector end of the AC power cord into the external power supply connector.
2. Insert the female end of the power cord into the internal power supply connector.
3. Verify that the AC power cord included with your router is compatible with local standards. If it is not, con-
tact Patton to replace it with a compatible power cord.
4. Connect the male end of the power cord to an appropriate power outlet.
5. Wait until the Power LED stops blinking and remains constantly lit. Now the SmartNode is ready
to configure.
2.0 Connecting the SmartNode to your laptop PC
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical
circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly
handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Do the follow-
ing to prevent ESD:
• Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replac-
ing cards.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good
skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis
frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.
• To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap
and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available,
ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for
the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flam-
mability, and mechanical serviceability.

Figure 1. Connecting to the PC
1. Connect the PC’s Ethernet port to LAN (ETH 0/1) port of the SmartNode 4950-NCE. The SmartNode 4950-
NCE Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or cross-over
Ethernet cables for host or hub/switch connections. (See figure 1.)
2. The SmartNode comes with a built-in DHCP server to simplify configuration. Therefore, to automatically
configure the PC for IP connectivity to the SmartNode, configure the laptop PC for DHCP. The SmartNode
will provide the PC with an IP address. Note that only Full Duplex operation is supported. Use auto nego-
tiation for best results.
3. Check the connection to the SmartNode by executing the ping command from the PC command window
as follows:
ping 192.168.1.1
3.0 Configuring the desired IP address
3.1 Factory-default IP settings
The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and netmasks are listed in table 1.
Both Ethernet interfaces are activated upon power-up. LAN interface ETH 0/1 (LAN) provides a default DHCP
server. The WAN interface uses DHCP client to get the IP address and netmask automatically from the
service provider.
If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section 4.0 “Connecting the SmartNode to the
network” on page 5. Otherwise, continue with the following sections to change the addresses and
network masks.
Table 1. Factory default IP address and network mask configuration
Item IP Addresss Network Mask
WAN interface Ethernet 0 (ETH 0/0) DHCP DHCP
LAN interface Ethernet 1 (ETH 0/1) 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

3.2 Login
1. To access the SmartNode, start the Telnet application on your PC. Type the default IP address into the
address field: 192.168.1.1. Accessing your SmartNode via a Telnet session displays the login screen.
Type the factory default login: administrator and leave the password empty. Press the Enter key after the
password prompt.
login:administrator
password:<Enter>
192.168.1.1>
2. After you log in, your SmartNode will be running in operator execution mode (indicated by > character in
the command line prompt). To enter configuration mode, use the commands enable and configure.
192.168.1.1>enable
192.168.1.1#configure
192.168.1.1(cfg)#
3.3 Changing the WAN IP address
1. To modify IP configuration settings, you must enter context IP mode. Enter the following command:
192.168.1.1(cfg)#context ip router
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#
2. Now you can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH 0/0(WAN). In this example a
network 172.16.1.0/24 is assumed. The IP address in example is set to 172.16.1.99. (You should set it
to the IP address that the network provider has given you.)
Note The examples in this guide use a private IP network with the network address 172.16.1.0/24.
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#interface WAN
192.168.1.1(if-ip)[WAN]#ipaddress 172.16.1.99 255.255.255.0
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link down on interface WAN.
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link up on interface WAN.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#
3. Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-
volatile memory. On the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.
172.16.1.99 (if-ip)[WAN]#copy running-config startup-config
172.16.1.99 (if-ip)[WAN]#
The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.
4.0 Connecting the SmartNode to the network
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for
the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flam-
mability, and mechanical serviceability.

6SmartNode 4950-NCE Series Quick Start Guide
In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the WAN (ETH 0/0) port. This enables the SmartNode
to offer routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 0/1) port. The SmartNode 4950-NCE Series provides an
auto-MDX feature for both Ethernet ports, so you can use a straight-through or cross-over cable to connect to a
host or a switch (see figure 2).
Figure 2. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
1. You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the
local LAN.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#ping <IP Address of the host>
Note If the WAN address is not set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local LAN you must first configure
the default gateway. (For information on configuring the default gateway, refer to section “Set IP
addresses” in Appendix C, “Command Summary” of the SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Config-
uration Guide.)
5.0 Loading the configuration (optional)
Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the support page at www.patton.com/smart-
node—one of which may be similar 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 config-
uration 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 configuration templates, you can man-
ually configure the SmartNode instead of loading a configuration file template. In that case, refer to the
SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Configuration Guide for information on configuring the SmartNode
device.

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
6.0 Additional Information
For detailed information about configuring and operating guidance, set up procedures, and troubleshooting,
refer to the SN4950 NCE User Manual available online at www.patton.com/manuals/SN4950-NCE.pdf
and the SmartWare Software Configuration Guide available online at www.patton.com/smartnode.
When you issue the reload command, the SmartNode will ask if you want to copy the
running configuration to the startup configuration. Since you just downloaded a con-
figuration file to the startup configuration you must answer this question with NO.
Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be overwritten and lost!
