Network Configuration
Once the ShoreTel voice switch is installed and powered on, it must be configured for network
operations. A voice switch gets a network configuration by assignment from a DHCP server, or directly
from an administrator console (see procedure below).
For more information on setting up a switch for automatic configuration by a DHCP server, see the
ShoreTel Planning and Installation Guide.

Use a straight-through serial cable, DB9 male to DB9 female, 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: 115,200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, no
handshake.
