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).
Figure 3. 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.
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.
