Figure 6. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the network.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[LAN]#ping <IP Address of the host>
Loading the configuration (optional)
Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the CD-ROM that came with the SmartNode
device—and also on the support page at www.patton.com/voip—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
Patton regularly adds new configuration templates to the collection at
www.patton.com/voip, so if you do not see your application on the CD-
ROM, it may have been added to the website.
Note
If your application is unique and not covered by any of Patton’s configura-
tion templates, you can manually configure the SmartNode instead of load-
ing a configuration file template. In that case, refer to the SmartNode Series
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.
