Loading The Configuration (Optional) - Patton electronics SmartNode 4940 Series Quick Start Manual

4.0 Loading the configuration (optional)

Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the CD-ROM shipped with your 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.
Patton regularly adds new configuration templates to the collection at www.patton.com/voip, so if
Note
you do not see your application on the CD-ROM, it may have been added to the website.
If your application is unique and not covered by any of Patton's configuration templates, you can man-
Note
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 SmartNode
device.
In this example we assume an TFTP server resides on the host with the IP address 172.16.1.11 and the configu-
ration file named SN.cfg resides in the root directory of the TFTP server.

SmartNode 4940 Series Quick Start Guide
When you issue the reload command, the SmartNode will ask if you want to copy the
running configuration to the startup configuration. Since you just downloaded a con-
figuration file to the startup configuration you must answer this question with NO.
Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be overwritten and lost!
