Installing the ShoreGear 220E1 in a 19-inch Rack
The SG-220E1 is placed in a 19-inch rack only by mounting a ShoreGear Dual Tray into
the rack, then installing the SG-220E1 into the Tray. You can install the SG-220E1 on the
left or right side of the tray.
Refer to the Quick Install Guide for the ShoreGear Dual Tray for Tray installation
instructions and information on using the tray.
Use an RJ-45 E1 cable to connect your E1 line to the Telco port.
For detailed information on switch port and trunk con
fi
guration,
see the sections “Con
fi
guring Switches” and “Con
fi
guring Trunks”
in the
ShoreTel Administration Guide
.
Connecting an E1 Line
After setting up the network connections and con
fi
guring the ShoreGear 220E1 Voice
Switch for operations, you can connect your E1 line to the switch.
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 220E1 Voice Switch is secured to a rack or surface-mounted, you
can connect it to the data network.
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 your internal paging system.
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.
