–IP Address—The IP address of the WAN Ethernet port.

from a DHCP server. Use this option when connecting the SmartNode to a DSL router, a cable modem, or to a company LAN (with a DHCP server). This is the factory default configuration so no configuration is required, only the LAN and WAN Ethernet connections should be made to access the Internet immediately.

PPPoE. The SmartNode establishes the connection with the Internet using PPPoE. This is most commonly used when the SmartNode is connected to a DSL bridge, or a DSL router that is configured in bridge mode (most routers are capable of this).

Enter the DSL credentials (username and password) on the SmartNode and click on the Apply button.

User Defined Address. The SmartNode uses an existing internet connection which does not provide an upstream DHCP server. In this case, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS servers manually.

IP Address—The IP address of the WAN Ethernet port.

IP Mask—The mask for the WAN port’s IP address.

Click on the Apply icon to apply the new configuration.

Default Gateway—This is the IP address of the upstream router. Click on the Apply icon to apply the new configuration.

DNS/DynDNS—In the Configuration Menu, go to DNS/DynDNS. Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers and Apply the new settings.

Figure 7 on page 7 shows the third case—User Defined Address configuration of connectivity parameters. In this example the SmartNode’s WAN IP address is 172.16.44.55 with an IP Mask of 255.255.255.0. The Default Gateway is 172.16.44.1.

Note Be sure to return to the Home configuration page to save the new configuration in non-volatile memory.

The “advanced GUI” leads you to the full universe of SmartNode configuration parameters. There are many more things that can be configured than you are presented on the “basic GUI” pages you see when the system starts. Be aware that configuration is quite a bit more complicated and requires some know-how about VoIP and the SmartNode configuration concepts. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the SmartWare Software Configuration Guide before switching to the advanced mode.
