Power source

If you suspect that your AC power is not reliable, for example if room lights flicker often or there is machinery with large motors nearby, have a qualified professional test the power. Patton recommends that you include an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in the installation to ensure that VoIP service is not impaired if the power fails.

Installing the SmartNode device

SmartNode device installation consists of the following:
Placing the device at the desired installation location (see section “Placing the SmartNode device” on
page 28)
Installing the grounding wire (if your SmartNode device came equipped with a surge protector), and install-
ing interface and power cables (see section “Connecting cables” on page 29)
When you finish installing the SmartNode device, go to Chapter 4, “Initial Configuration” on page 33.

Placing the SmartNode device

Place the SmartNode device on a desktop or similar sturdy, flat surface. Allow sufficient space at the rear of the chassis for cable connections. Additionally, you should consider the need to access the unit for future upgrades and maintenance.
To prevent overheating and damaging the unit, proper ventilation is required when placing the device. The device should be installed in a dry environment with sufficient space to allow air circulation for cooling.
Do not stack multiple SmartNode devices directly on top of one another, and do not place items on top of the device. If you will be installing equipment above the Smart Node device, leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance between the devices.
Furthermore, leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) to the left, right, front, and rear of the SmartNode device for proper ventilation.

Introduction

This chapter leads you through the basic steps to set up a new SmartNode device and to download a configuration.
Note If you haven’t already installed the SmartNode device, refer to Chapter 3,
"SmartNode Installation" on page 26.
If you are installing an SN5541, see section “Connecting the SN5541 to your laptop PC”. Otherwise, to install an SN4141, see section “Connecting the SN4141 to a laptop PC” on page 36.

Connecting the SN5541 to your laptop PC

First, the SmartNode device must be connected to the main power supply with the power cable. Wait until the Power LED stops blinking and stays lit constantly. Now the SmartNode device is ready.
Note The SmartNode device is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you
can use straight-through cables for host or hub/switch connections (see
figure 11).
Figure 11. Connecting the SmartNode device to your laptop PC
The SmartNode device comes with a built-in DHCP server to simplify configuration. Therefore, to automatically configure the PC for IP connectivity to the SmartNode device, 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

Configure the desired IP address

Factory-default IP Settings
The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and network masks are listed in table 10. Both Ethernet interfaces are activated upon power-up. LAN interface ETH 0/1 (LAN) provides a default
Introduction 34
SmartNode 5541 & 4141 Series User Manual 4 • Initial Configuration
DHCP server, the WAN interface uses DHCP client to automatically assign the IP address and network mask.
Table 10. Factory Default IP Address and Network Mask Configuration
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 192.168.1.10–192.168.1.99 255.255.255.0
If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section “Connecting the SmartNode device to the
network” on page 36. Otherwise, refer to the following sections to change the addresses and network masks.
Login
To access the SmartNode, start the Telnet application. Type either the host name
smartnode.local
or the default IP address into the address field of the Telnet application:
192.168.1.1
Accessing your SmartNode via a Telnet session displays the login screen. Type the factory default login: admin and leave the password empty. Press the Enter key after the password prompt.

172.16.1.99(if-ip) [WAN]
The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.

Connecting the SmartNode device 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 device is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight through or crossover cables for host or hub/ switch connections. (see
figure 12).
Figure 12. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the network.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#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 con
­figuring the default gateway, refer to section “Set IP addresses” in the Trinity Software Configuration Guide.)
Note Connecting both Ethernet ports to the same switch will only work if the
switch has separate ARP tables for each connection.
Go to section “Loading the Configuration (optional)” on page 39.

Connecting the SN4141 to a laptop PC

First, the SmartNode device must be connected to the main power supply with the power cable. Wait until the Power LED stops blinking and stays lit constantly. Now the SmartNode device is ready.

Copy this modified configuration to you 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.
Note The modified configuration is applied immediately. It is not necessary to
reboot the device when changing any configuration parameter.
172.16.1.99(if-ip) [WAN]#copy running-config startup-config

The SmartNode device can now be connected to your network.

Loading the Configuration (optional)

The WebWizard Community provides a collection of Wizards that help to reduce the setup time of a Patton device.
Simply download the appropriate Wizard to your device, execute it locally, and you are ready to do phone calls after the SmartNode has rebooted.
Optionally, you may execute the Wizard that matches your application online, and import the generated .cfg config into the SmartNode device.
In addition to that the Knowledgebase provides configuration file templates that may fit your application.
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 load­ing a configuration file template. In that case, refer to the Trinity Command Line Reference 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)[WAN]#copy tftp://172.16.1.11/sn.cfg startup-config
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#
After the SmartNode device has been rebooted the new startup configuration will be activated.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#reload Press 'yes' to restart, 'no' to cancel :yes The system is going down NOW

Introduction

This section provides information on the cables used to connect the SmartNode device to the existing network infrastructure and to third party products.

Ethernet

Ethernet devices (10/100/1000 Base-T) are connected to the SmartNode over a cable with RJ-45 plugs. All Ethernet ports on the SmartNode device are Auto-MDX. Use any straight or crossover cable to a host, hubs, switches, PCs or other devices.
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use an shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
Note Connecting both Ethernet ports to the same switch will only work if the
switch has a separate ARP table for each connection.
