Network LEDs
The ShoreGear-50 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:
Status LED
The ShoreGear-50 has one status LED to provide general information about the ports.
The color and blink pattern of the LED indicate the port function:

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), the switch is connected to an Ethernet
network.
• When off, the switch cannot detect an Ethernet network.
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.
Status LED (Green)
• When on steady, no ports are handling active calls.
• When flashing fast, at least one port is handling an active
call.
Status LED (Yellow)
• When on steady, no ports are handling active calls and at
least one port is out of service.
• When flashing slow, the switch is not connected (or has lost
connection) to a ShoreTel server.
• When flashing fast, at least one port is handling an active
call and at least one port is out of service.
Off
