Planning and Installation Guide 16 – 3
Installing ShoreGear-40/8, -60/12, and -120/24
Voice Switches
The DHCP/BOOTP server must be configured prior to turning on the ShoreGear
voice switch. Refer to Chapter 10, “Server Requirements” for more information.
To install the ShoreGear-40/8, -60/12, or -120/24 voice switch:
Step 1 Remove the voice switch from its shipping container.
Step 2 Place the switch on a flat platform, such as a shelf. Up to three switches
can be stacked on top of each other. To rack mount the switch, use the
screws provided to attach the switch to the rack via the mounting
brackets.
Step 3 Connect the switch to the appropriate LAN segment (such as a LAN
switch or hub) with the Category 5 RJ-45 interface cable.
NOTE All ShoreGear voice switches should be connected to an
isolated LAN segment.
Step 4 Plug the AC surge protector into a grounded AC power source.
NOTE Electrical surges, typically lightning transients, are very
destructive to equipment connected to AC power sources.
Step 5 Plug the power cord into the power receptacle on the switch’s back
panel, and into an available socket on the AC surge protector. The
ShoreGear-40/8, ShoreGear-60/12, and ShoreGear-120/24 switches do
not have a power switch and power on as soon as you connect the
switch to power.
NOTE The power LED flashes momentarily, and remains lit. If the
LED is not lit, ensure that the power cord is plugged into the
switch and the power source. If the LED is flashing twice, this
indicates an internal error has occurred. Power off and on the
switch. If the LED continues to flash, please refer to the chapter
“Configuring Switches” in the ShoreTel 6 Administration Guide
for a description of the flash patterns and their meaning, or
contact ShoreTel Customer Operations at http://
www.ShoreTel.com.
Once network communications are established, the network
LEDs will indicate that the switch is connected to a 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps Ethernet environment, and that the switch is
receiving and transmitting data.
Step 6 If applicable, connect the music-on-hold source to the audio input
port.
Step 7 If applicable, connect your site's paging system to the audio output
port.
