1.Connect the PC’s Ethernet port to LAN (ETH 0/1) port of the SmartNode 4950. The SmartNode 4950 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

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.
