Configuring Switches
6 – 4 ShoreTel, Inc.
Switch Port LEDs
The ShoreGear-120/24 has 24 telephone/trunk port LEDs. The color of the LED
indicates the port function:
• Green when the port is a telephone port.
• Yellow when the port is a trunk port.
• Off indicates the port is reserved for IP phones, for conferencing, or is
unconfigured.
The following describes the switch port LED behavior and meaning:
Network LEDs
The ShoreGear-120/24 network LEDs (LAN1 and LAN2) indicate the speed at which
the switch is communicating with the network and whether there is network activity.
When you are connecting to both LAN connectors in a redundant network
5 flashes—The operating system is not available. The switch is
booting from FTP but cannot find the boot files. It automatically
reboots in five seconds. You can use BOOTP or DHCP to tell the
switch where the files are. If you are using BOOTP, set the BOOTP
server to the IP address of the ShoreWare server, and set the boot file
to
/ts24/vxwork s. If you are using a DHCP server that supports
options 66 and 67, set option 66 to the ShoreWare server’s IP address,
and set option 67 to
/ts24/vxwork s.
6 flashes—Using a previously stored IP address. A BOOTP/DHCP
transaction was attempted, but the BOOTP/DHCP server did not
respond. The switch continues to use the IP address stored in
nonvolatile memory until it receives a valid response. If the switch
receives a response that provides a different IP address, it reboots
using the new IP address. If the switch receives a response that
matches the IP address stored in nonvolatile memory, it continues
operation, and the power LED stops flashing. If the problem persists,
check the BOOTP/DHCP server and network configuration.
Telephone Port
LEDs (Green)
• When on steady, the port is configured as a telephone port
and the telephone is idle.
• When flashing with ring cadence, the telephone is ringing.
• When flashing slowly, the telephone is off hook.
• When flashing fast, the port is in use (call in progress).
Trunk Port LED
(Yellow)
When on steady, the port is configured as a trunk port and the
trunk is idle.
• When flashing slowly, the trunk is off hook.
• When flashing fast, the trunk is in use (call in progress).
Port LED
Alternating Green/
Yellow
The port is out of service. The LED periodically alternates
green/yellow or yellow/green. The color of the LED between
alternating colors indicates the port type: green for phone and
yellow for trunk.
Off (IP phone) When the LED is off, the port is reserved for IP phones, for
conferencing, or is unconfigured.
