IP Address This is the switch’s IP address.
If your DHCP/ BOOTP server is running, click Find Switches and
select an IP address from the Find Switch dialog box. This also
adds the switch’s MAC address in the Ethernet Address field. If
your DHCP/ BOOTP server is not running, you must enter the
switch’s IP address and MAC address manually in the text-entry
field.
Find Switches This button invokes the Find Switch dialog box. It automatically
finds all voice switches of the associated type on the network.
This feature works only when the switch is on the same subnet as
the ShoreWare server. The server IP address is given to the voice
switch via DHCP/ BOOTP or via a serial port command line entry.
Ethernet Address This is the switch’s Ethernet address. It is the MAC address
printed on the switch’s rear panel.
If your DHCP/ BOOTP server is running, and you clicked Find
Switches to select an IP address from the Find Switch dialog box,
the switch’s MAC address was added at the same time in the
Ethernet Address field. If your DHCP/ BOOTP server is not
running, you must enter the switch’s MAC address manually in
the text-entry field.
Server to Manage

down list.
Caller’s
Emergency
Service
Notification
(CESID)
This is the telephone number sent to the service provider when a
user dials an emergency services number (e.g., 911 in the U.S.).
Refer to Appendix B, "Emergency 911 Operations" for more
information.
Music On Hold
Source
This enables the music-on-hold port. Check this box to enable or
disable this feature.
Details:
• You need to have one music-on-hold source per site.
• To save bandwidth, music is not available between sites across
the WAN.
• The Music On Hold Source checkbox enables and disables
music on hold for all trunks (including SIP trunks). It acts
globally and cannot be applied to one specific type of trunk.
• Enabling or disabling MOH for a switch only affects the local
region associated with that switch. If MOH is enabled for a
remote site but the headquarters switch has MOH disabled,
then people calling into the headquarters switch will not hear
music when placed on hold. Callers who dial into the remote
site will, or course, hear music when placed on hold.
• Remember to connect a music source (such as a CD player) to
the Music On Hold jack on the front panel of the switch.
