Introduction 26
Page 27
SmartNode 4970A User Manual 4 • Initial configuration
The SmartNode comes with a built-in DHCP client and a fixed IP address to simplify configuration. The SmartNode will receive an IP address from the DHCP server in the network or it can be directly accessed using the static IP address.

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 Ta b le 5. The Ethernet interface is activated upon power-up. 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
IP Address Network Mask
WAN Interface Ethernet 0 0(ETH 0/0) DHCP DHCP Static IP Address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section “Connecting the SmartNode to the Net-
work” on page 28. 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 default IP address into the address field of the Telnet application:
192.168.1.1
OR run the SmartNode Discovery Tool, to access the SmartNode.
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.
login:admin password: <Enter>

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.
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
172.16.1.99(if-ip) [WAN]
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. The SmartNode SN4970A is equipped with an Auto-MDX Ethernet port, so you can use straight through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connections. (see
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and

mechanical serviceability.
For the ISDN connection to a carrier network, it shall be con­nected to a network termination device and not connected directly to an outside POTS line.
figure 7 on page 29).
-
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 Command Line Reference Guide.)

Loading the Configuration (optional)

The Patton Community provides several Web Wizards to help with setting up your SmartNode configuration.
http://www.patton.com/wizard
Patton also provides a collection of configuration templates on the support page at: http://www.patton.com/support/kb.asp —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 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 SmartNode Series 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 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

E1 PRI

The E1 PRI is usually connected to a PBX or switch—local exchange (LE). Type and pin outs of these devices vary depending on the manufacturer. In most cases, a straight-through RJ-45 to RJ-45 can be used to connect the PRI with a PBX. A cross-over cable is required to connect to an NT device, as illustrated in page 43.
Hazardous network voltages are present in the PRI cables. If you detach the cable, detach the end away from the Smart
