SmartNode 4830 Series Quick Start Guide
4.0 Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN
The 4830 Ethernet ports are auto MDX, therefore a straight-through wired cable can be used for host and switch
connections.
Figure 2.
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.
For a detailed description of the CLI refer to the
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
(SCG) available on the
online at:
www.patton.com/smartnode
.
5.0 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/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 config-
uration 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 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.
