SmartWare provides two management interfaces:
• The Command Line Interface (CLI), which supports full online configuration and monitoring access for the
operator
• The SNMP agent and MIB, with an emphasis on inventory and alarm management for integration in a
third-party Network Management System (NMS)
With the aid of configuration files and TFTP up and downloads, the SmartNodes can also be managed offline
using standard text editors and file systems.
A number of host-based management applications are available to facilitate generating, editing, and maintain-
ing configuration files. Tools are also available for integrating SmartNode management into standard network
management platforms such as HP OpenView.

Applications

The Patton SmartNode product family consists of highly flexible multi-service IP network devices, which fit a
range of networking applications. This section provides an overview of the following SmartNode applications
and the main elements in a SmartNode network.
• Carrier networks—SmartNodes are used as customer gateways or integrated access devices at the customer
premises. These applications are also called Integrated Service Access (ISA).
• Enterprise networks—SmartNodes are used as WAN routers and voice gateways for inter-site networking.
These applications are also called Multiservice Intranets (MSI).
