Configuring Switches
6 – 22 ShoreTel, Inc.
Network LEDs
The ShoreGear-60/12 network LEDs (LAN1 and LAN2) indicate the speed at which the
switch is communicating with the network and whether there is network activity.
When you are connecting to both LAN connectors in a redundant network
configuration, one network port will be active and the other will be in standby mode. If
one LAN connection fails, the switch automatically changes to the other LAN
connection.
The network LED descriptions are as follows:
Trunk Port LED
(Yellow)
When on steady, the port is configured as a trunk port and the
trunk is idle.
• When flashing slowly, the trunk is off hook.
• When flashing fast, the trunk is in use (call in progress).
Port LED
Alternating Green/
Yellow
The port is out of service. The LED periodically alternates
green/yellow or yellow/green. The color of the LED between
alternating colors indicates the port type: green for phone and
yellow for trunk.
Off (IP phone) When the LED is off, the port is reserved for IP phones, for
conferencing, or is unconfigured.
Link/
Activity
When lit, this LED indicates that the switch is connected to an Ethernet
network.
This LED indicates network activity, as follows:
• When flashing, network activity is detected.
• When on (not flashing), heavy network activity is detected.
• When off, the switch has no power.
NOTE This LED is not directly related to any particular switch’s individual
network activity. For example, if you have three switches that are
connected to the same hub, and one switch’s Traffic LED shows
activity, the other switches will indicate the same.
100M
• When green, the switch is connected to a 100BaseT network.
• When off, the switch is connected to a 10BaseT network.
• When red, this LAN connection is in standby mode.
