SmartNode 4400 Series Getting Started Guide

4 • Getting started with the SmartNode 4400 Series

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.

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

Bootloader

The bootloader ensures that basic operations, network access, and downloads are possible in case of interrupted
or corrupted application image downloads. It offers console access to the Bootloader and the capability for
downloading application images (e.g. SmartWare) via the serial link of the console.

Start Bootloader

To start the Bootloader, power on the SmartNode while pressing the reset button. Open a Telnet session to the
SmartNode via one of the Ethernet interfaces, or open a CLI session via the console port (if available on the
SmartNode). The following prompt will be displayed:

RedBoot>

Type help to display an overview of the available commands.

When you issue the reload command, the SmartNode will ask
if you want to copy the running configuration to the startup con-
figuration. Since you just downloaded a configuration file to the
startup configuration you must answer this question with NO.
Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be overwritten
and lost!
