RJ-45 cable for connecting the switch to the local area network
Music-on-hold source with a standard mini-headphone Y-adapter (optional)
Permanent earthing connector for grounding the device
RJ-21 telephone cable (female connector on end that is connected to the
ShoreGear voice switch) for analog port connections
RJ-21 to RJ-11 patch panel for connecting telephones and trunk lines

German: Einen Erdungsleiter anschließen
Um den elektrischen Sicherheitsanforderungen für eine korrekte Erdung
nachzukommen, müssen Sie einen permanenten Erdungsschutz zwischen dem
ShoreGear-Gerät und der Erde des Kabelsystems installieren.
Schließen Sie ein Erdungskabel (Nr. 14 AWG oder größer) an die Schraube an der
Rückseite des Geräts an, die sich rechts neben dem Produktetikett be
fi
ndet.
Schließen Sie das andere Ende des Erdungskabels an die Erde des Kabelsystems
an.
VORSICHT:
Schließen Sie immer zuerst den permanenten Erdungsschutz an, bevor Sie ver-
suchen, das Gerät an ein LAN-Segment und Telekommunikationsleitungen anzuschließen.

Installing the ShoreGear 30 in a 19-inch Rack
The SG-30 is placed in a 19-inch rack only by mounting a ShoreGear Dual Tray into
the rack, then installing the SG-30 into the Tray.
Refer to the Quick Install Guide for the ShoreGear Dual Tray for Tray installation
instructions and information on using the Tray.
Connecting Trunk and Telephone Lines
Use the provided cable retainer to connect the voice switch to the telephone
company’s punch-down block or patch panel.
Optional Connections
After connecting the voice switch to the LAN, you can make optional connections,
including input from a music-on-hold source or output to an internal paging system.
Powering on the ShoreGear Voice Switch
After connecting the switch to the network, power on the device by connecting it to
an AC power source.
Plug an AC surge protector (not provided) into a grounded AC power source.
Plug one end of the provided power cord into the receptacle on the back of the
switch, then plug the other end into the AC surge protector.
The power LED
fl
ashes momentarily, and remains lit.
If the LED is not lit, make sure the power cord is plugged into the switch and the
power source.
If the LED continues
fl
ashing, there is an internal error. Unplug the switch to
power it off, then power it back on. Refer to the “Con
fi
guring Switches” chapter
in the
ShoreTel Administration Guide
for information on
fl
ash patterns, or
contact the ShoreTel Support Services at http://www.shoretel.com.
The LAN ports auto-sense the network transport rate. When the network connection
is established, the network LED indicates a transport rate of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps,
and whether the switch is receiving and transmitting data.

Use an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect one or both of the
LAN ports to the network subnet.
While both ports can detect and respond to link status, the switch
uses only one LAN port at a time.
Connecting the ShoreGear Voice Switch to the Network
Once the ShoreGear 30 Voice Switch is secured to a rack or surface-mounted, you can
connect it to the data network.
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws
on either side of the RJ-21X port, then place the retainer
on the port and re-attach the screws.
1.
Plug the Telco cable into the port, then pull the Velcro
strap tightly around the cable connector and fasten it.
2.
Connect the other end of the Telco cable to the punch-down block or patch panel.
CAUTION:
To reduce risk of
fi
re, always use #26 AWG or larger telecommunications line
cable.
For detailed information on switch port and trunk con
fi
guration, see the “Con
fi
guring
Switches” and “Con
fi
guring Trunks” sections in the
ShoreTel Administration Guide
.
3.
Connect a music-on-hold source (CD player or other audio
source) to the audio input port.
Connect your site’s paging system to the audio output port.

2.
Attaching an Earthing Connector
To meet electrical safety requirements for proper grounding, you must connect a
permanent earthing protector between the ShoreGear voice switch and the wiring
system ground.
Connect a ground wire (#14 AWG wire or larger) to the screw on the back of the
unit and to the right of the product label.
Connect the other end of the ground wire to the wiring system ground.
CAUTION:
Always connect the permanent earthing connector before attempting to connect
the switch to a LAN segment and telecommunication lines.
