Figure 8-3 IP Phones Options Edit Page
The parameters on the IP Phone Options edit page are defined as follows:
IP Phone
Configuration
Switch 1
IP Phone
Configuration
Switch 2
You need to designate the switch that serves as the phone’s Call
Manager. The IP addresses of these switches are downloaded to the
IP phones whenever the IP phones are booted. These switches
communicate with the ShoreTel server to determine which switch
manages calls for a particular IP phone. You have the option of
assigning two switches to this function, in case one switch fails.
Every installation with IP phones must have at least one
configuration switch.
To assign configuration switches, simply select an available switch
from the drop-down lists for configuration switches 1 and 2. In a
new installation, the ShoreTel system automatically assigns the first
two ShoreGear-120/24, ShoreGear-60/12, or ShoreGear-40/8
switches you configure as the configuration switches.
User Group for
Unassigned
Phones
Unassigned IP phones are available for users configured for Any IP
Phone. From the drop-down list, select the user group that has the
call permissions you want unassigned IP phones to have.
IP Phone
Announcement
Enter a message of the day that displays on all IP phones except the
ShorePhone-IP210 phones. The text can be up to 19 characters long
and appears left-justified on the phone display. If you wish to center
the message, add leading spaces.
IP Phone
Password
This field is used only with the ShorePhone-IP210/212k/230/530/
560/560g phones. It is initially set to “1234”. It may be blank or be
1 through 8 digits long. It sets the default password for new IP
phones coming online.
