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

CAUTION

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.

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.

SmartNode 4300 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]#

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
