WARNING

ages are present within the device when the power cord is connected.

•

For devices with an external power adapter, the power adapter shall be a
listed Limited Power Source The mains outlet that is utilized to power the
device shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily
accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in compliance with local regu­latory requirements.

•

For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable used meets all appli­cable standards for the country in which it is to be installed.

•

For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor power plugs (L1, L2 &
GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/Protective Ground), the wall outlet (or
socket) must have an earth ground.

•

For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnecting cables are rated
for proper voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
mechanical serviceability.

•

WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have hazardous voltages
present regardless of whether the device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN
relates to interfaces such as telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL, T1, E1,
ISDN, Voice, etc. These are known as “hazardous network voltages” and
to avoid electric shock use caution when working near these ports. When
disconnecting cables for these ports, detach the far end connection first.

•

Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity

When connecting to a TNV circuit, the unit MUST BE CONNECTED TO GROUND
via the external ground stud at the rear of the unit.

WARNING

This device contains no user serviceable parts. This device can only be
repaired by qualified service personnel.

WARNING

In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/
96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),

SmartNode 4400 Quick Start Guide

Introduction

This Quick Start Guide leads you through the basic steps to set up a new SmartNode and to download a con­figuration. Please note that this guide does not replace the detailed SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
and the SmartNode 4400 User Manual available online at www.patton.com/manuals/SN4400.pdf.

SmartNodes can be used for a wide variety of IP and voice over IP applications. To support and ease the con­figuration of the SmartNodes configuration templates for the most important applications are available online
at www.patton.com/voip/appnotes.asp.

Setting up a new SmartNode consists of the following steps:

1. Attach the power cable retainer clip to the unit

2. Connect a PC to the SmartNode, log in and configure your LAN IP address (see page 5 for details)

3. Connect the SmartNode to the LAN (see page 7)

4. Download a configuration example, adapt it to your network, and load it onto the SmartNode (see page 8)

Airflow requirements – To ensure proper airflow through the SmartNode, follow these recommendations

when you are installing your unit:

– If placed on a desktop, leave 7.62 cm (3 inches) of minimum clearance on both the left and right sides of

the unit.

– If mounted in a rack, leave a one-rack unit (1U) of minimum clearance above and below the unit for

proper airflow.

Attaching the cable retainer clip

To secure the power cord, it is necessary to attach the metal retainer clip (if applicable to your model). Squeeze
the clip and insert into the holes in the screws on either side of the power connector on your unit. The clip will
pop into place.

Note

Refer to the SmartNode 4400 User Manual on the Patton website for
detailed instructions about grounding and connecting power to your
unit.

Introduction 4

SmartNode 4400 Quick Start Guide

Connecting a PC, logging in, and configuring the LAN IP address

Connecting power and configuring the default IP address

Connect the SmartNode to the mains power supply using the included power supply and cable. When the
RUN LED stops blinking and remains lit, the SmartNode is ready.

The factory default IP settings are listed in table 1. If these addresses do not work with your network they must
be changed. Contact your network administrator if you are not sure which IP address to use in
your installation.

Table 1. Factory default IP address and network mask configuration

Item IP Addresss(es) 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 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.19 255.255.255.0

Note

The DHCP server is running on the ETH 0/1 of the SN4400 Series
models. All Ethernet ports are pre-configured and active.

Connecting to a PC and logging in

1. To access the SmartNode configuration, connect a PC equipped with an RS-232 console port to the Con­sole port on the front of the SmartNode. Use the included black Ethernet cable and RJ45 to DB-9 adapter

for this purpose (Model 16F-561).

3. Type administrator as the login prompt and press the Enter key after the password prompt (do not type
anything for the password). A prompt will appear consisting of the IP address and > character.

login:administrator
password:

172.16.40.1>

4. Following log in, the SmartNode is in operator execution mode (indicated by > character in the command
line prompt). With the commands enable and configure, you enter the configuration mode.

172.16.40.1>enable

172.16.40.1#configure

172.16.40.1(cfg)#

Changing the IP address

1. Select the context IP mode to configure an IP interface.

172.16.40.1(cfg)#context ip router

172.16.40.1(ctx-ip)[router]#

2. Set the IP address and network mask for the each IP interface (eth0, for example).

Note

For the examples in this guide, a private network (172.16.1) IP
address is used.

172.16.40.1(ctx-ip)[router]#interface eth0

172.16.40.1(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress 172.16.1.10 255.255.255.0
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link down on interface eth0.
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link up on interface eth0.

172.16.1.10(if-ip)[eth0]#

3. Make this modified configuration your new start-up configuration. On the next start-up the system will
initialize itself using the modified configuration.

172.16.1.10 (if-ip)[eth0]#copy running-config startup-config

172.16.1.10 (if-ip)[eth0]#

Go to section “Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN” on page 7 to connect the SmartNode to
your network.

Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN

The 4400 Ethernet ports are auto MDX, therefore a straight-through wired cable can be used for host and
switch connections (see figure 3).

Figure 3. Connecting the SmartNode to the network

You can check the connection with the ping command to another host on the local LAN.

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#ping <IP Address of the host>

Respectively from the host: ping 172.16.1.99

Note

To ping outside your local LAN, you will need to configure the
default gateway.

You may now start to configure the SmartNode from scratch using the CLI commands, but we recommend
that you start your configuration from a template. See “Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to

your network, and loading it onto the SmartNode” on page 8 for further details.

For a detailed description of the CLI refer to the SmartWare Software Configuration Guide (SCG) available
online at: www.patton.com/smartnode.

Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN 7

SmartNode 4400 Quick Start Guide

Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to your network, and loading it onto the SmartNode

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 manually 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 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
