SmartNode 4830 Getting Started Guide 4 • Getting started with the SmartNode
2. Connect the SmartNode to the network
The 4830 Ethernet ports are auto MDX, therefore a straight-through wired cable can be used for host and
switch connections (see figure 25).
Figure 25. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
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.
3. Load configuration
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—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 SmartNode can now load its configuration from this server.
Note Patton regularly adds new configuration templates to the collection at
www.patton.com/voip, so if you do not see your application on the CD-
ROM, it may have been added to the website.
Note If your application is unique and not covered by any of Patton’s configura-
tion templates, you can manually configure the SmartNode instead of load-
ing a configuration file template. In that case, refer to the SmartNode Series
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide for information on configuring the
SmartNode device.
