SmartNode 5200 Quick Start Guide
6.0 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 Smart-
Node 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 configuration templates, you can man-
ually configure the SmartNode instead of loading a configuration file template. In that case, refer to the
SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
for information on configuring the Smart-
Node 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]#copy tftp://172.16.1.11/SN.cfg startup-
config
Download...100%
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
After the SmartNode has been rebooted the new startup configuration will be activated.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#reload
Running configuration has been changed.
Do you want to copy the 'running-config' to the 'startup-config'?
Press 'yes' to store, 'no' to drop changes : no
Press 'yes' to restart, 'no' to cancel : yes
The system is going down
7.0 Additional information
For detailed information about configuring and operating guidance, set up procedures, and troubleshooting,
refer to the
SN5200 Getting Started Guide
and
SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
on
the CD-ROM.
When you issue the reload command, the SmartNode will ask if you want to copy the running config-
uration to the startup configuration. Since you just downloaded a configuration file to the startup con-
figuration you must answer this question with
NO
. Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be
overwritten and lost!
