In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the WAN (DSL) port. This enables the SmartNode to offer routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 0/)) port. The SmartNode 4650 ADSL2+ 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).

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)[eth_dsl]#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 CD-ROM shipped with your SmartNode device— and also on the support page at www.patton.com/voip—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 configuration 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 Smart- Node can now load its configuration from this server.
