Switch Models
ShoreTel 7 introduces four additional half-width voice switches. The switches are
standard height (i.e. IU), half the normal width, and can be rack-mounted in a tray that
holds two switches, side by side. The new switches offer higher port density in a
smaller footprint and use less power and have lower heat dissipation requirements
relative to the larger switches. In addition, the new switches offer higher granularity in
the number of IP user supported, thus allowing customers to dial in more precisely on
the switch that best meets their needs. The new switch models are: SG-50, SG-90, SG-
220T1, SG-220E1.
The ShoreGear-60/12 fills the gap between the existing ShoreGear-120/24 and
ShoreGear 40/8 by improving system flexibility and lowering costs. These switches are
all 1 RU and have an RJ21X connector for connection to analog phones and trunks.
They also feature redundant Ethernet LAN connections for greater availability and
reliability.
You can locate the model number of your switches, SG or IPBX, on the rear panel as
shown in Figure 6-1. This document distinguishes between switches based on the
model number and number of RUs the switch occupies.
