ShoreGear-E1 Parameters
Descriptions for parameters that appear on the ShoreGear-E1 Switch edit page follow:
Name This is the name of the voice switch.
Description This describes the switch. It is an optional entry that typically
tells where the switch is located or describes how it is used. For
example, the switch’s description might indicate the wiring closet
where the switch is located.
Site This describes the site where the switch is located. This is a read-
only parameter. If you want to move the switch to another site,
you must move all the trunks, delete the switch from the current
site, and add the switch to the new site.
IP Address This is the switch’s IP address.
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. If
your DHCP/ BOOTP server is not running, you must enter the
switch’s IP address and MAC address manually in the text-entry
field.
Find Switches This button invokes the Find Switch dialog box. It will
automatically find all voice switches on the network of the
associated type.
This feature works only when the switch is on the same subnet as
the ShoreWare Server. The server IP address is given to the voice
switch via DHCP/ BOOTP or via a serial port command line entry.
Ethernet Address This is the switch’s Ethernet address. It is the MAC address
printed on the switch’s rear panel.
If your DHCP/ BOOTP server is running, and you clicked Find
Switches to select an IP address from the Find Switch dialog box,
the switch’s MAC address was added at the same time in the
Ethernet Address field. If your DHCP/ BOOTP server is not
running, you must enter the switch’s MAC address manually in
the text-entry field.
Server to Manage
Switch
This is the server that manages this switch. Select from the drop-
down list.
Type This determines the type of signaling the ShoreGear-E1 will
facilitate: E1 PRI User or E1 PRI Network.
E1 PRI User and E1 PRI Network (Primary Rate Interface (PRI
30B+D)) is used in conjunction with ISDN signaling
configurations. It provides a single D-channel for controlling 23
bearer channels. You can designate the E1 trunk as being User or
Network side.
Central Office
Type
The ShoreGear-E1 supports a single signaling type per country,
which is typically Euro-ISDN(TBR4). This is a read-only
parameter.
