WARNING

• Do not open the device when the power cord is connected. For sys­tems without a power switch and without an external power
adapter, line voltages 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.

In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/96/EC on
Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), ensure that at end­of-life you separate this product from other waste and scrap and deliver
to the WEEE collection system in your country for recycling.

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

WARNING

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical
circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly

CAUTION

handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Do the follow­ing to prevent ESD:

• Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replac­ing cards.

• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good
skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis
frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.

• To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap
and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available,
ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

1.0 Power up the SmartNode

1. Insert the barrel type connector end of the AC power cord into the external power supply connector.

2. Insert the female end of the power cord into the internal power supply connector.

3. Verify that the AC power cord included with your router is compatible with local standards. If it is not, con-

tact Patton to replace it with a compatible power cord.

4. Connect the male end of the power cord to an appropriate power outlet.

5. Wait until the Power LED stops blinking and remains constantly lit. Now the SmartNode is ready

to configure.

2.0 Connecting the SmartNode to your laptop PC

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.

LAN (connect to ETH 0/1)

Ethernet

Laptop PC

Figure 1. Connecting to the PC

1. Connect the PC’s Ethernet port to LAN (ETH 0/1) port of the SmartNode 4950. The SmartNode 4950

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.
