4 SmartNode 4950-NCE Series Quick Start GuideFigure 1. Connecting to the PC1. Connect the PC’s Ethernet port to LAN (ETH 0/1) port of the SmartNode 4950-NCE. The SmartNode 4950-NCE Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or cross-overEthernet cables for host or hub/switch connections. (See figure 1.)2. The SmartNode comes with a built-in DHCP server to simplify configuration. Therefore, to automaticallyconfigure the PC for IP connectivity to the SmartNode, configure the laptop PC for DHCP. The SmartNodewill provide the PC with an IP address. Note that only Full Duplex operation is supported. Use auto nego-tiation for best results.3. Check the connection to the SmartNode by executing the ping command from the PC command windowas follows:ping 192.168.1.13.0 Configuring the desired IP address3.1 Factory-default IP settingsThe factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and netmasks are listed in table 1.Both Ethernet interfaces are activated upon power-up. LAN interface ETH 0/1 (LAN) provides a default DHCPserver. The WAN interface uses DHCP client to get the IP address and netmask automatically from theservice provider.If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section 4.0 “Connecting the SmartNode to thenetwork” on page 5. Otherwise, continue with the following sections to change the addresses andnetwork masks.Table 1.
