Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the support page at
www.patton.com/smart-
node
—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 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.
