Step 9
Connect your trunk and telephone lines using the RJ-21X connector.
For the RJ-21X pinouts, see “ShoreGear-120/24 Connectors” on
page 13-9, “ShoreGear-60/12 Connectors” on page 13-9, and
“ShoreGear-40/8 Connectors” on page 13-10.
Installing ShoreGear-T1 or ShoreGear-E1 Voice Switches
The DHCP/BOOTP server must be configured before turning on the ShoreGear-T1 or
ShoreGear-E1.
To install the ShoreGear-T1 or ShoreGear-E1 in a stack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove the ShoreGear-T1 or ShoreGear-E1 from its shipping
container.
Step 2 Place the switch on a shelf, in a 19-inch rack, or other flat surface. 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.
NOTE For instruction on rack mounting the ShoreGear E-1
(IPBX-E1), see the “Rack Mount Instructions” section below.
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-T1s must be connected to a dedicated Ethernet
switch port.
Step 4 Plug the AC surge protector into a grounded AC power source.
Step 5 Plug the power cord into the power receptacle on the ShoreGear-T1 or
ShoreGear-E1's back panel, and into an available socket on the AC
surge protector. The ShoreGear-T1 switch does not have a power
switch and powers on as soon as you connect the switch to power.
NOTE Electrical surges, typically lightning transients, are very
destructive to equipment connected to AC power sources.
Step 6 Power on the ShoreGear-E1 voice switch from the power switch
located on the switch’s rear panel.
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
