The SmartNode comes with a built-in DHCP server to simplify configuration. Therefore, to automatically configure the PC for IP connectivity to the SmartNode, the laptop PC must be configured for DHCP. The SmartNode will
provide the PC with an IP address. You can check the connection to the SmartNode by executing the ping command from the PC command window as follows:
ping 192.168.1.1
LAN (ETH 0/1)
SmartNode 5200 Quick Start Guide 5
4.0 Configuring the desired IP address
4.1 Factory-default IP settings
The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and network masks are listed in the table
below. Both Ethernet interfaces are activated upon power-up. LAN interface ETH 0/1 (LAN) provides a default
DHCP server, the WAN interface uses DHCP client to automatically assign the IP address and network mask.
IP Address Network Mask
WAN interface Ethernet 0 (ETH 0/0) DHCP DHCP
LAN interface Ethernet 1 (ETH 0/1) 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
DHCP address range 192.168.1.10–192.168.1.19 255.255.255.0
If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section 5.0 “Connecting the SmartNode to the
network” on page 7. Otherwise, refer to the following sections to change the addresses and network masks.
4.2 Login
To access the SmartNode, start the Telnet application. Type the default IP address for the router into the address
field: 192.168.1.1. Accessing your SmartNode via a Telnet session displays the login screen. Type the factory
default login: administrator and leave the password empty. Press the Enter key after the password prompt.
login:administrator
password: <Enter>
192.168.1.1>
After you have successfully logged in you are in the operator execution mode, indicated by > as command line
prompt. With the commands enable and configure you enter the configuration mode.
192.168.1.1>enable
192.168.1.1#configure
192.168.1.1(cfg)#
4.3 Changing the WAN IP address
Select the context IP mode to configure an IP interface.
192.168.1.1(cfg)#context ip router
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#
Now you can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH 0/0 (WAN). Within this example a network 172.16.1.0/24 address is assumed. The IP address in this example is set to 172.16.1.99 (you should set
this the IP address given to you by your network provider).
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#interface eth0
192.168.1.1(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress 172.16.1.99 255.255.255.0
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link down on interface eth0.
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link up on interface eth0.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
6 SmartNode 5200 Quick Start Guide
Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-volatile
memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#copy running-config startup-config
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.
5.0 Connecting the SmartNode to the network
In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the WAN (ETH 0/0) port. This enables the SmartNode
to offer routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 0/1) port. The SmartNode 5200 Series is equipped with
Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connections
(see figure 4).
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.

You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the network.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#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.)
SmartNode 5200 Quick Start Guide 7
6.0 Loading the configuration (optional)
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 configuration templates, you can man-
ually configure the SmartNode instead of loading a configuration file template. In that case, refer to the
SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Configuration Guide for information on configuring the SmartNode device.
In this example we assume the TFTP server on the host with the IP address 172.16.1.11 and the configuration
named SN.cfg in the root directory of the TFTP server.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#copy tftp://172.16.1.11/SN.cfg startup-
config
Download...100%
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
After the SmartNode has been rebooted the new startup configuration will be activated.
When you issue the reload command, the SmartNode will ask if you want to copy the running configuration to the startup configuration. Since you just downloaded a configuration file to the startup configuration you must answer this question with NO. Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be
IMPORTANT
overwritten and lost!
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#reload
Running configuration has been changed.
Do you want to copy the 'running-config' to the 'startup-config'?
Press 'yes' to store, 'no' to drop changes : no
Press 'yes' to restart, 'no' to cancel : yes
The system is going down
