SmartNode 5400 Series Quick Start Guide 3

Figure 1. Connecting to the PC

1. Connect the PC’s Ethernet port to LAN (ETH 0/1) port of the SmartNode 5400. The SmartNode 5400

Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or cross-over Ethernet
cables for host or hub/switch connections. (See figure 1.)

2. The SmartNode comes with a built-in DHCP server to simplify configuration. Therefore, to automatically

configure the PC for IP connectivity to the SmartNode, configure the laptop PC for DHCP. The SmartNode
will provide the PC with an IP address. Note that only Full Duplex operation is supported. Use auto nego­tiation for best results.

3. Check the connection to the SmartNode by executing the ping command from the PC command window

as follows:

ping 192.168.1.1

3.0 Configuring the desired IP address

3.1 Factory-default IP settings

The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and netmasks are listed in table 1.
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 get the IP address and netmask automatically from the
service provider.

Table 1. Factory default IP address and network mask configuration

Item IP Addresss 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 server address range (LAN) 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.99 255.255.255.0

If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section 4.0 “Connecting the SmartNode to the

network” on page 5. Otherwise, continue with the following sections to change the addresses and

network masks.

3.2 Login

1. To access the SmartNode, start the Telnet application on your PC. Type the default IP address 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>

2. After you log in, your SmartNode will be running in operator execution mode (indicated by > character

in the command line prompt). To enter configuration mode, use the commands enable and configure.

192.168.1.1>enable

4 SmartNode 5400 Series Quick Start Guide

192.168.1.1#configure

192.168.1.1(cfg)#

3.3 Changing the WAN IP address

1. To modify IP configuration settings, you must enter context IP mode. Enter the following command:

192.168.1.1(cfg)#context ip router

192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#

2. Now you can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH 0/0(WAN). In this example a

network 172.16.1.0/24 is assumed. The IP address in example is set to 172.16.1.99. (You should set it
to the IP address that the network provider has given you.)

Note The examples in this guide use a private IP network with the network address 172.16.1.0/24.

192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#interface WAN

192.168.1.1(if-ip)[WAN]#ipaddress 172.16.1.99 255.255.255.0
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link down on interface WAN.
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link up on interface WAN.

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#

3. Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-

volatile memory. On the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.

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.

4.0 Connecting the SmartNode to the network

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.

CAUTION

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 5400 Series provides an auto-

SmartNode 5400 Series Quick Start Guide 5

MDX feature for both Ethernet ports, so you can use a straight-through or cross-over cable to connect to a host or
a switch (see figure 2).

Figure 2. Connecting the SmartNode to the network

1. You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the

local LAN.

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 configuring the default gateway, refer to section “Set IP
addresses” in Appendix C, “Command Summary” of the SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Config-
uration Guide.)

5.0 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 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
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide for information on configuring the SmartNode device.

In this example we assume an TFTP server resides on the host with the IP address 172.16.1.11 and the configu­ration file named SN.cfg resides in the root directory of the TFTP server.

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#copy tftp://172.16.1.11/SN.cfg startup­config

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#

After you reboot the SmartNode the new startup configuration will become active.

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.

IMPORTANT

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#reload
