Configuration Overview
The following sections document the major steps needed to configure the ShoreTel system with the EXTREME
x440 summit series switches.
ShoreTel Configuration
There is no specific configuration required on the ShoreTel telephony system to interoperate with the EXTREME
Ethernet switches, although you may need to configure the ShoreTel system for proper QoS functionality.
ShoreTel Director allows you to configure DiffServ or ToS Byte settings in the Call Control Options page (see below
for example). Please note that ShoreTel Director requires the settings in decimal, thus a DiffServ setting of 46
corresponds to a setting of 184.
For Call Control Quality of Service, although legacy value of 104 is still supported but we highly recommend to
modify this value to 96 which corresponds to DiffServ setting of 24. Configuring this parameter with the actual
DiffServ or ToS Byte setting will result in undesired results. For further assistance in configuring the DiffServ/ToS
Byte parameter, please refer to ShoreTel's Administration Guide or contact ShoreTel Network Services.
