Legacy Integration
14 – 26 ShoreTel, Inc.
Configuring the Serial Connection
The ShoreTel voice mail system will only support one serial link per application server.
To support another legacy PBX, you will need another ShoreTel distributed application
server. A serial cable (i.e. null modem) should be used to connect the legacy PBX to one
of the COM ports of the ShoreTel server. Note that the ShoreTel system will extract the
serial port settings, such as baud rate and parity bit values, from the Windows COM
port settings. These settings can be verified by following the procedure below:
1 Right-click My Computer.
2 Select Manage.
3 Select Device Manager.
4 Left-click on Ports (COM & LPT).
5 Right-click Communications Port (COM1), and select Properties.
6 Left-click on the Port Settings tab.
7 Verify that the settings match those suggested by the documentation that came
with your legacy PBX device.
