SmartNode 4552 & 4562 Getting Started Guide 1 • General information
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.
NoteDetailed configuration information for the applications can be found on the
CD-ROM that was included with your SmartNode device or online from
the Patton webserver at www.patton.com.
Application—Multi-service ISDN Internet telephony IAD
The SmartNode 4552 & 4562 with two ISDN BRI ports 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 4). 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.
Figure 4. Internet telephony IAD application (SN4552 shown)
Broadband network connectivity integrates with any fixed IP, DHCP or PPPoE service. An integrated 10/100
Ethernet LAN switch, with advanced routing features such as NAT, Firewall/ACL, DynDNS as well as
optional IPSec VPN, fulfills the requirements of demanding network users.
Quality of Service (QoS) features complete the offering with advanced voice prioritization and traffic management. Patton’s patent-pending DownStreamQoS™ ensures voice without interruptions even over best-effort
Internet connections.
Application—ISDN home or telecommuter connectivity
For a SoHo/telecommuter, the SmartNode 4552 & 4562 can provide an off-premise extension to the corporate network (see figure 5). Along with the access to the corporate ISDN PBX, the SmartNode provides Internet access and VPN connectivity to the main office. In this configuration, the remote user will appear to be
local and can take advantage of services available to local telephony and LAN users (such as file-server access,
station-to-station dialing, outside trunk access, and voice mail). Additionally, the home user can take advantage
of corporate dialing rates.

Network information
Network connection considerations that you should take into account for planning are provided for several
types of network interfaces are described in the following sections.
Network Diagram
Draw a network overview diagram that displays all neighboring IP nodes, connected elements and
telephony components.
Before you can set up the basic IP connectivity for your SmartNode 4552 & 4562 you should have the following information:
• IP addresses used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports
• Subnet mask used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports
• IP addresses of central H.323 gatekeeper (if used)
• IP addresses and/or URL of SIP servers or Internet telephony services (if used)
• Login and password for PPPoE
Access
• Login and password for SIP or H.323 based telephony services
• IP addresses of central TFTP server used for configuration upload and download (optional)
Software tools
You will need a PC (or equivalent) with Windows Telnet or a program such as Te ra Ter m P ro We b (included on
the SmartNode CD-ROM) to configure the software on your SmartNode router.
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.
Location and mounting requirements
The SmartNode router is intended to be placed on a desktop or similar sturdy, flat surface that offers easy
access to the cables. 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.
Installing the gateway router
SmartNode hardware installation consists of the following:
• Placing the device at the desired installation location (see section “Placing the SmartNode”)
• Connecting the interface and power cables (see section “Installing cables” on page 25)
When you finish installing the SmartNode, go to chapter 4, “Initial configuration” on page 29.
Placing the SmartNode
Place the unit on a desktop or similar sturdy, flat surface that offers easy access to the cables. The unit should be
installed in a dry environment with sufficient space to allow air circulation for cooling.
NoteFor proper ventilation, leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) to the left, right, front,
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
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
Connect the cables in the following order:
1. Connect the ISDN terminals and NT to the BRI ports (see section “Connecting ISDN terminals and NT
to the SmartNode’s ISDN BRI ports”).
2. Connect the 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN (see section “Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ether-
net LAN and WAN cables” on page 25)
3. Connect the power supply (see section “Connecting the power supply” on page 26)
Connecting ISDN terminals and NT to the SmartNode’s ISDN BRI ports
The SmartNode comes with two ISDN BRI ports located on the rear panel (see figure 2 on page 15). Install the
cables as follows:
1. Connect a cable between port BRI 0/0 (Line) of the Model 4552 and the S/T outlet of the ISDN NT.
2. Connect a cable between port BRI 0/1 (Phone) of the Model 4552 and the ISDN terminal (phone or PBX)
NoteIf there is no ISDN network termination in the installation and you require S-
Bus line power for the connected terminals, you can install an S-Bus Phantom
Power Supply on port BRI 0/0 (Patton part number SN-PM-BRI-EXT/230/EU). The SmartNode does not require S-bus line power to function.
For details on the BRI port pinout and ISDN cables, refer to Appendix C, “Cabling” on page 49 and Appendix
D, “Port pin-outs” on page 52.
Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN cables
The SmartNode 4552 & 4562 has automatic MDX (auto-crossover) detection and configuration on all Ethernet ports. Any of the ports can be connected to a host or hub/switch with a straight-through wired cable.
1. Connect port ETH 0/0 to the subscriber port of the broadband access modem (DSL, cable, WLL).
2. Connect Ethernet ports 1 to 4 to your LAN devices (PC, printer, switches, etc.)
For details on the Ethernet port pinout and cables, refer to Appendix C, “Cabling” on page 49 and Appendix
Many ISDN telephone handsets require that 40-VDC power be supplied via the S-Bus connection. In other
words, they have no separate or built-in power supply. In general, point-to-multipoint ISDN BRI network terminations supply line power to the S-Bus. Point-to-point configurations connected to a PBX generally do not
supply line power.
The Model 4552 does not supply S-Bus line power on the BRI ports, however, there are two options to provide
S-Bus line power:
• If one of the BRI ports is connected to an ISDN NT, the power supplied by the NT is fed through to the
other BRI port.
• If line power is not available from the NT, but required for connected terminals, the PM-BRI-EXT S-Bus
Phantom power supply can be used.
Table 5. PM-BRI-EXT S-Bus 40V power supply
ItemPhantom Power Supply; PM-BRI-EXT
Voltage SpecificationsInput 230VAC, Output 40VDC
If you use a Phantom power supply other than that supplied by
Patton Electronics Co., you must ensure that it conforms to ITU
I.430 Section 9.7.3.2.2. which specifies that the maximum current delivered shall not exceed 200mA.
The PM-BRI-EXT power supply unit is equipped with a transformer
that is specially designed for S-Bus line power. The use of a general
purpose DC power transformer may cause equipment damage.
Do not plug the Phantom power supply directly into any other port
than BRI 0/0. Installing it on the Ethernet ports could result in serious
equipment damage.

This chapter leads you through the basic steps to set up a new SmartNode:
• Powering up the SmartNode (section “1. Power up the SmartNode”)
• Configuring your PC to use DHCP (section “2. Set your PC to DHCP”)
• Connecting the PC to the SmartNode’s LAN port (section “3. Connect the PC to the SmartNode LAN
Port” on page 32)
• Accessing the Internet (section “4. Get Started” on page 33)
1. Power up the SmartNode
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.
1. Connect the SmartNode to a power source using the included power supply and cable.
2. When the Power LED stops blinking and remains lit, the SmartNode is ready to configure.
2. Set your PC to DHCP
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.
This guide will allow you to quickly access the configuration interface of a SmartNode and give an overview of
the different elements you can or need to configure. For detailed information on all configuration parameters
refer to the SmartWare software configuration guide.
The SmartNode has a built in DHCP Server which allows an automatic IP connection with a connected PC.
To prepare the connection you need to configure the PC to use DHCP. The following paragraphs show how to
do this on Windows. For other operating systems refer to the operating instructions of the PC.
1. Right-click on My Network Places and select Properties in the context menu (see figure 8).
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
Now use the included Ethernet cable to connect the configured PC to the SmartNode. The factory default
configuration of the SmartNode defines Ethernet port 0/1 as the LAN port.
NoteMost SmartNode Ethernet ports are Auto-MDIX which means that you can
use a standard straight-wired Ethernet cable to connect to the PC or
a hub/switch.

login credentials are:
User Name: administrator
Password: There is no password, leave this field empty
Figure 12. Login window
3. Click OK.
4. Get Started
After successful login you get to the SmartNode home page, and you can configure your device. You will be
presented the following home page, which contains buttons to store the current configuration state, reload the
device and restore to factory defaults. The home page also shows some system information. You can always go
back to the home page by clicking Home in the navigation bar.
The GUI consists of the following main elements (see figure 13):
• The “Navigation Bar” on the left edge presents you with a menu listing giving access to the various configu-
ration and status pages of the SmartNode.
• At the top of the page you see the “Current System Path” which displays the location and element currently
presented in the main area.
• The rest of the page displays the configuration and status information for the different features of
the SmartNode.

During the whole configuration process, all your changes are
only applied—that is, saved in volatile memory (RAM). To store
the settings in non-volatile memory (i.e. make them survive
power failure or manual reload), return to the home page and
press the Save Current Configuration button.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the WAN port on the SmartNode to the upstream WAN Internet connection.
Begin the configuration for Internet access with the WAN page.
Figure 14. WAN page
Connecting a PC and logging in
Here are some special hints you may use when configuring your SmartNode:
For each box containing an “Apply” button, fill in the required fields
and press “apply” once. The settings are applied immediately after
the button is pressed. If there are several boxes with an “Apply” button on one page, fill in the information per box and press the button
for each box separately. This saves the new configuration parameters
in volatile memory (RAM) only.
The “alert” symbol shows you that somewhere a user input is missing
for correct functionality. In the case of the present WAN page, you
can ignore them, because the respective title bullet (“PPP over Ethernet”) is not selected.
The “info” symbol denotes hints to ease configuration or to avoid pitfalls. Read them whenever you encounter them!
There are three different configuration options for the WAN Internet connection (see figure 14):
• DHCP (client—factory default). The SmartNode’s WAN port has a DHCP client enabled that uses an
established Internet connection to get the Internet connectivity parameters (IP address, default gateway)
automatically from a DHCP server. Use this option when connecting the SmartNode to a DSL router, a
cable modem, or to a company LAN (with a DHCP server). This is the factory default configuration so no
configuration is required, only the LAN and WAN Ethernet connections should be made to access the
Internet immediately.
• PPPoE. The SmartNode establishes the connection with the Internet using PPPoE. This is most commonly
used when the SmartNode is connected to a DSL bridge, or a DSL router that is configured in bridge mode
(most routers are capable of this).
Enter the DSL credentials (username and password) on the SmartNode and click on the Apply button.
• User Defined Address. The SmartNode uses an existing internet connection which does not provide an
upstream DHCP server. In this case, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and
DNS servers manually.
- IP Address—The IP address of the WAN Ethernet port.
- IP Mask—The mask for the WAN port’s IP address.
Click on the Apply icon to apply the new configuration.
• Default Gateway—This is the IP address of the upstream router. Click on the Apply icon to apply the new
configuration.
• DNS/DynDNS—In the Configuration Menu, go to DNS/DynDNS. Enter the IP addresses of the DNS
servers and Apply the new settings.
Figure 14 on page 35 shows the third case—User Defined Address configuration of connectivity parameters.
In this example the SmartNode’s WAN IP address is 172.16.44.55 with an IP Mask of 255.255.255.0. The
Default Gateway is 172.16.44.1.
NoteBe sure to return to the Home configuration page to save the new configura-
tion in non-volatile memory.
The “advanced GUI” leads you to the full universe of SmartNode configuration parameters. There are many more things
that can be configured than you are presented on the “basic
GUI” pages you see when the system starts. Be aware that
configuration is quite a bit more complicated and requires
some know-how about VoIP and the SmartNode configuration
concepts. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
to the advanced mode.

Bootloader
The bootloader ensures that basic operations, network access, and downloads are possible in case of interrupted
or corrupted application image downloads. It offers console access to the Bootloader and the capability for
downloading application images (e.g. SmartWare) via the serial link of the console.
Start Bootloader
To start the Bootloader, power on the SmartNode while pressing the reset button. Open a Telnet session to the
SmartNode via one of the Ethernet interfaces, or open a CLI session via the console port (if available on the
SmartNode). The login display will appear. Using the credentials admin / patton , log in to the SmartNode.

2RedBoot> go -s factory-configStarts the SmartWare application telling it to use
‘factory-config’ as startup configuration.
You can also start-up with any other configuration
available in the persistent memory (nvram:) by providing its name instead of ‘factory-config’.

8RedBoot> goStarts the application image that was down-
loaded into the volatile memory (RAM).
NoteWith the Bootloader, only the Ethernet interface 0/0 is available. The Boot-
loader applies the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway that were last
configured by the Bootloader itself or by another application (e.g. SmartWare). If an application configured the Ethernet interface 0/0 to use DHCP,
the Bootloader will also use DHCP to learn the interface configuration. It
can receive and apply the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and
default (TFTP) server (transmitted as basic DHCP information ‘Next server
IP address’).
NoteThis procedure does not download the respective CLI description file.
Download it after starting up SmartWare with the following command:

Radio and TV interference ....................................................................................................................................41
CE notice ..............................................................................................................................................................41
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 B 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).
