ShoreGear-T1 Parameters
Descriptions for the parameters that appear on the ShoreGear-T1 Switch edit page are
as follows:
Name This is the name of the voice switch.
Description This describes the switch. It is an optional entry that typically
tells where the switch is located or describes how it is used. For
example, the switch’s description might indicate the wiring closet
where the switch is located.
Site This describes the site where the switch is located. This is a read-
only parameter. If you want to move the switch to another site,
you must move all the associated trunks, delete the switch from
the current site, and add the switch to the new site.
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 will
automatically find 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.

This is the server that manages this switch. Select from the drop-
down list.
