6 – 6 ShoreTel, Inc.
ShoreGear-50 Voice Switch
The ShoreGear-50 (Figure 6-3) voice switches are half the normal width and are thus
best suited for environments with high IP phone concentration.
These switches support 2 analog extensions and 4 analog loop start trunks for a total of
6 analog ports. Analog ports can be swapped for configured IP phones, SIP trunks or
‘Make Me’ conference ports. 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 ShoreGear-50 can be configured to support up to 50 ShoreTel IP Phones (five IP
phones per IP phone port). The ShoreGear-50 ports can also be used to support SIP,
with the reservation mechanism the same as that used for IP phones. The ShoreGear-50
ports are configured for IP through the ShoreGear-50 edit page.
NOTE If you are installing IP phones in your system, you must assign sufficient ports to
IP phone support before attempting to install and configure IP phones.
NOTE The ShoreGear-90 and ShoreGear-50 are not supported in installations outside
the U.S. and Canada.
The ShoreGear-50 LEDs are defined below. For information about the connectors,
please see the ShoreTel 7.5 Planning and Installation Guide.
