1.0 Power up the SmartNode
1. Connect the SmartNode to a power source using the included power supply and cable.
2. When the Power LED stops blinking and remains lit, the SmartNode is ready to configure.
2.0 Set your PC to DHCP
This guide will allow you to quickly access the configuration interface of a SmartNode and give an overview of
the different elements you can or need to configure. For detailed information on all configuration parameters,
refer to the SmartWare Software Configuration Guide available online at www.patton.com/smartnode.
The SmartNode has a built in DHCP Server which allows an automatic IP connection with a connected PC. To pre-
pare the connection you need to configure the PC to use DHCP. The following paragraphs show how to do this on
Windows. For other operating systems refer to the operating instructions of the 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.

3.0 Connecting the SmartNode to your laptop PC
First the SmartNode must be connected to the mains power supply with the power cable. Wait until the Power
LED stops blinking and stays lit constantly. Now the SmartNode is ready.
The SmartNode 5200 Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through cables
for host or hub/switch connections (see figure 3).
Figure 3. Connecting the SmartNode to your laptop PC
The SmartNode comes with a built-in DHCP server to simplify configuration. Therefore, to automatically config-
ure the PC for IP connectivity to the SmartNode, the laptop PC must be configured for DHCP. The SmartNode will
provide the PC with an IP address. You can check the connection to the SmartNode by executing the ping com-
mand from the PC command window as follows:
ping 192.168.1.1
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper appli-
cation with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical service-
ability.

4.0 Configuring the desired IP address
4.1 Factory-default IP settings
The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and network masks are listed in the table
below. 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 automatically assign the IP address and network mask.
If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section 5.0 “Connecting the SmartNode to the
network” on page 7. Otherwise, refer to the following sections to change the addresses and network masks.
4.2 Login
To access the SmartNode, start the Telnet application. Type the default IP address for the router 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>
After you have successfully logged in you are in the operator execution mode, indicated by > as command line
prompt. With the commands enable and configure you enter the configuration mode.
192.168.1.1>enable
192.168.1.1#configure
192.168.1.1(cfg)#
4.3 Changing the WAN IP address
Select the context IP mode to configure an IP interface.
192.168.1.1(cfg)#context ip router
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#
Now you can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH 0/0 (WAN). Within this example a net-
work 172.16.1.0/24 address is assumed. The IP address in this example is set to 172.16.1.99 (you should set
this the IP address given to you by your network provider).
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#interface eth0
192.168.1.1(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress 172.16.1.99 255.255.255.0

SmartNode 5200 Quick Start Guide 7
Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-volatile
memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#copy running-config startup-config
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.
5.0 Connecting the SmartNode to the network
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 5200 Series is equipped with
Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connections
(see figure 4).
Figure 4. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the network.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#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.)
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper appli-
cation with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical service-
ability.

6.0 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
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
7.0 Additional information
For detailed information about configuring and operating guidance, set up procedures, and troubleshooting,
refer to the SN5200 User Manual available online at www.patton.com/manuals/SN5200.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 config-
uration to the startup configuration. Since you just downloaded a configuration file to the startup con-
figuration you must answer this question with NO. Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be
overwritten and lost!
