Patton SmartNode

Patton SmartNode devices are the other supported family for analog lines — sturdy 1-4 port FXO gateways common in installations that predate VoIP.

Adding the gateway

Admin → Trunks → Add gateway and choose the Patton Analog FXO template. The template is generic across SmartNode FXO models (SN4110-series and relatives) — you tell it what you have:

• Port count — 1 to 4 FXO ports.
• Country tone set — thirty-plus national profiles; this drives dial-tone and disconnect detection, which analog lines get wrong more often than anything else.
• Hunting mode — Normal (outbound calls always try port 1 first) or Cyclic (round-robin across ports, evening out line wear and per-line usage caps).
• Outbound dial behavior — wait for dial tone, or dial after a fixed 1-5 second delay for lines with unreliable tone.
• Fax — T.38 supported.

Make sure the device runs a current SmartNode firmware for its model before provisioning — the template configures, it doesn't flash.

LAN calling

For a SmartNode on the same LAN as Exovo, enable Use the configured LAN address for this SIP peer on the gateway's Options tab. Set the PBX's Host IP Address under Admin → Connectivity → Network to its LAN IPv4 address. Keep the public-IP setting for internet providers.

The Patton can continue registering and sending authenticated inbound calls to Exovo on 5060. Exovo sends outbound calls from its LAN profile on 5082 to the Patton's listening port, commonly 5060. See LAN trunks and gateways for the complete setup and call tests.

Routing

As with any gateway, the analog lines route through the normal machinery: a default route or inbound rules for calls ringing in, membership in an outbound rule's trunk chain for calls going out — commonly as the failover route of last resort.
