ShoreGear-60/12 Voice Switch RJ-21X Port Pinout

The ShoreGear-60/12 Telco cable is custom wired to allow connection of the 
voice switch to a standard 12-port patch panel or 12-port harmonica block. If you 
are connecting the ShoreGear-60/12 Voice Switch to a 24-port patch panel with 
a generic RJ-21 cable, the voice switch’s twelve analog channels map to ports 1 
through 12 on the patch panel. (The Power Fail Transfer Unit provides an electrical 
connection between trunk channel 8 and the extension on channel 9.)

Network Confi guration

Once the ShoreGear voice switch is installed and powered on, it must be confi gured 
for network operations. A voice switch gets a network confi guration by assignment 
from a DHCP or BOOTP server, or directly from an administrator console (see 
procedure below).

NOTE

For more information on setting up a switch for automatic confi guration by a 

DHCP or BOOTP server, see the 

ShoreTel Planning and Installation Guide

.

Confi guring the Voice Switch from a Console

1

  

Use a straight-through serial cable to connect the switch to a console PC. 

2

 

On the PC or laptop, start a terminal emulation program and connect to the 
voice switch using these serial communication settings: 19200 bps, 8 data bits, 
no parity, one stop bit, no handshake. 

3

  

At the ShoreTel login prompt, press ENTER to display the Switch Options 
menu.

4

  

Type 3 and press ENTER to display a menu of confi guration options.

5

  

Choose Menu Options and follow the onscreen instructions for setting network 
parameters, including IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
