SmartNode 4830 Quick Start Guide

Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN

The 4830 Ethernet ports are auto MDX, therefore a straight-through wired cable can be used for host and switch connections (see figure 3).

SmartNode

You can check the connection with the ping command to another host on the local LAN.

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#ping <IP Address of the host>

Respectively from the host: ping 172.16.1.99

Note To ping outside your local LAN, you will need to configure the default gateway.

You may now start to configure the SmartNode from scratch using the CLI commands, but we recommend that you start your configuration from a template. See “Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to your network, and loading it onto the SmartNode” on page 6 for further details.

For a detailed description of the CLI refer to the SmartWare Software Configuration Guide (SCG) available on the CD-ROM and online at: www.patton.com/voip.

Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to your network, and loading it onto the SmartNode

Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the CD-ROM that came with the SmartNode device—and also on the support page at www.patton.com/voip/appnotes.shtml—one of which may be simi- lar 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 SmartNode can now load its configuration from this server.

Note Patton regularly adds new configuration templates to the collection at www.patton.com/voip/appnotes.shtml, so if you do not see your applica- tion on the CD-ROM, it may have been added to the website.
