Adding a ShoreGear-120/24, -60/12, -40/8
To add a new ShoreGear-120/24, -60/12, or -40/8 switch to the ShoreTel system or to
edit an existing switch configuration:
Step 1 To add a new switch, select the associated site and type of voice switch
from the Switches list page and click Go.
Step 2 If you are adding a new switch, enter its name in the Name field. If you
are adding a new switch from a record that you copied, replace the
existing name with a new one.
Step 3 If you are adding a new switch, enter a descriptive name for the switch
in the Description field. If you are adding a new switch from a record
that you copied, replace the existing description with a new one, if
applicable.
Step 4 Select a site name from the Site drop-down list.
Step 5 If your DHCP/ BOOTP server is running, click Find Switches and
select an IP address from the Find Switch dialog box. This also adds
the switch’s MAC address in the Ethernet Address field.
NOTE The Find Switches feature will only find switches on the subnet
of the server. You must manually type in the IP and Ethernet
address for remote switches.
If your DHCP/ BOOTP server is not running, enter the switch’s IP
address manually in the IP Address field and enter the switch’s MAC
address in the Ethernet Address field.
Step 6 If the switch will be used to support IP phones, select the ports you
want to dedicate to IP support (ShoreGear-120/24, ShoreGear-60/12,
ShoreGear-40/8, or IPBX-24 only).
