Introduction
Patton’s SmartNode VoIP Media Gateway Routers deliver the features you need for advanced multiservice
voice and data network applications. They combine high quality voice-over-IP with powerful quality of service
routing functions to build professional and reliable VoIP and data networks. This chapter describes typical
applications for which this SmartNode is uniquely suited.
Note
Detailed configuration information for SmartNode applications can be
found online at www.patton.com/smartnode.
Application—Edge intelligence of enterprise communication
Enterprises are excited about voice over IP and convergence for the following reasons:
• Bypassing the PSTN. Using Internet telephony service providers (ITSPs) instead of incumbent carriers dra-
matically reduces telephony costs
• IP PBXs, with their full suite of features and ease of integration into existing IT environments are
very appealing
• Convergence lowers technology ownership costs and enables enterprises to deploy new
integrated applications
However, there are several concerns about migrating the whole telephony infrastructure to VoIP:
• Loss of voice quality
• Unknown reliability
• Lack of experience/expertise in voice over IP
Patton’s SmartNode series of VoIP gateways address these concerns enabling enterprises to safely migrate to
VoIP. SmartNodes enable system administrators to gradually introduce VoIP, using it as the edge communication device for all worlds, connecting PSTN, legacy PBX, ITSPs and an IP PBX.

Figure 4. Edge intelligence of enterprise communication application
Introduction20
SmartNode 4630 User Manual 2 • Applications overview
How it works:
1. Connect the SmartNode to the PSTN and legacy PBX, and configure the call router to pass all calls from
the PBX to the PSTN and vice versa. This first step will not affect any uses in the enterprise
2. Choose your ITSPs, and configure as many on the SmartNode as you need. Use the intelligent call router
in the SmartNode to decide which call is forwarded to which ITSP, and which calls should go to the
PSTN. This may be based upon least-cost routing criteria, or for example, on calling party number. The
latter is ideal if you want to test calls to an ITSP before enabling it for all users within the enterprise.
3. Voice over IP can be switched off instantly on one single box (the SmartNode) to revert the system back to
as it was before.
4. Build up an IP PBX system that uses the SmartNode as PSTN gateway. For all calls from this IP PBX, you
can direct them to the PSTN or to ITSPs. Numbering plan adaptations are handled through regular
expression matching by the SmartNode. No need to change anything on the PBXs.
5. Once the IP PBX is ready, you can choose on incoming calls from the PSTN, for each extension whether
this extension is to be directed to the IP PBX or on the legacy PBX.
Application—Multi-service ISDN Internet telephony IAD
The SmartNode 4630 Series can be used to make and receive calls to and from the public ISDN network and
Internet Telephony services on any ISDN Terminal (Phone or PBX) (see figure 5). Using individually configurable routing tables, an outbound call can be directed to the local PSTN connection or to an Internet telephony service provider (ISTP). Inbound calls from the Internet and the PSTN can ring the same phone.

Introduction
This chapter leads you through the basic steps to set up a new SmartNode and to download a configuration.
Setting up a new SmartNode consists of the following main steps:
Note
If you haven’t already installed the SmartNode, refer to chapter 3,
“SmartNode installation” on page 22.
• Connecting the SmartNode to your laptop PC
• Configuring the desired IP address
• Connecting the SmartNode to the network
• Loading the configuration (optional)
Connecting the SmartNode to your laptop PC
First the SmartNode must be connected to the mains power supply with the power cable. Wait until the Power
LED stops blinking and stays lit constantly. Now the SmartNode is ready.
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.
When this device is used in North America, it shall be connected
to a Network Termination Device and not connected directly to
an outside POTS line.
The SmartNode 4630 Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through
cables for host or hub/switch connections (see figure 7).

LAN (ETH 0/1)
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

SmartNode 4630 User Manual 4 • Initial configuration
Configuring 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 5.
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.
Table 5. Factory default IP address and network mask configuration

LAN interface Ethernet 1 (ETH 0/1)192.168.1.1255.255.255.0
DHCP address range192.168.1.10–192.168.1.19 255.255.255.0
If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section “Connecting the SmartNode to the net-
work” on page 30. Otherwise, refer to the following sections to change the addresses and network masks.
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.

SmartNode 4630 User Manual 4 • Initial configuration
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

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
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.
The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.
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 4630 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 8).

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 Con-figuration Guide.)
Loading the configuration (optional)
Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the support page at www.patton.com/smartnode—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
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.
If your application is unique and not covered by any of Patton’s configuration templates, you can manually 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.
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 overwritten

Radio and TV Interference
The SmartNode router generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly-that
is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions-may cause interference to radio and television
reception. The SmartNode router have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the SmartNode router does cause interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away
from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different
AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).
