8 SmartNode 5200 Quick Start Guide
6.0 Loading the configuration (optional)
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
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

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 User Manual available online at
www.patton.com/manuals/SN5200.pdf and the
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide available online at www.patton.com/smartnode.
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!
