configuration, one network port will be active and the other will be in standby mode. If
one LAN connection fails, the switch automatically changes to the other LAN
connection.
The network LED descriptions are as follows:
ShoreGear-60/12 Voice Switch
The ShoreGear-60/12 supports 12 analog ports: 8 universal telephone/trunk ports and
4 telephony ports. The ShoreGear-60/12 interfaces to standard analog trunks using
loop start or wink start signaling, as well as to standard analog telephones, including
CLASS feature phones with Caller ID Name and Number, and Message Waiting. When
you are connecting to both LAN connectors in a redundant network configuration, one
network port will be active and the other will be in standby mode. If one LAN
connection fails, the switch automatically changes to the other LAN connection.
The ShoreGear-60/12 can be configured to support up to 60 ShoreTel IP phones (five IP
phones per IP phone port). The ShoreGear-60/12 ports can also be used to support SIP,
with the reservation mechanism the same as that used for IP phones. The ShoreGear-
60/12 ports are configured for IP phone support through the ShoreGear-60/12 edit
page.
NOTE If you are installing IP phones in your system, you must assign sufficient
ShoreGear-120/24, ShoreGear-60/12, or ShoreGear-40/8 ports for IP phone
support before attempting to install and configure IP phones.
NOTE The ShoreGear-60/12 is not supported in installations outside the U.S. and
Canada.
Link/
Activity
When lit, this LED indicates that the switch is connected to an Ethernet
network.
This LED indicates network activity, as follows:
• When flashing, network activity is detected.
• When on (not flashing), heavy network activity is detected.
• When off, the switch has no power.
NOTE This LED is not directly related to any particular switch’s individual
network activity. For example, if you have three switches that are
connected to the same hub, and one switch’s Traffic LED shows
activity, the other switches will indicate the same.
100M
• When green, the switch is connected to a 100BaseT network.
• When off, the switch is connected to a 10BaseT network.
• When red, this LAN connection is in standby mode.
