About the ShoreGear 90BRI

The SG-90BRI Voice Switch connects enterprise telephone extensions through an
internal IP network, or to any central office (CO) ISDN BRI trunk line. The switch
provides connectivity through:
• Two RJ-45 local area network (LAN) connectors
• Four RJ-45 ISDN BRI ports for connecting the switch to telephone company ISDN
BRI lines
• One RJ-21X port (male) for connecting the switch to a telephone company punch-
down block, patch panel, or 12-port harmonica connector
• One DB-9 (female), RS-232C maintenance port (19200 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop
bit, no handshake) for serial communications
• One audio input port (3.5 mm stereo) for connecting to a music-on-hold source
• One audio output port (3.5 mm stereo) for connecting to a corporate paging system
or night bell

Installation Equipment

To install the switch, you need the following equipment:
• AC surge protector for the power connection
• RJ-45 cables for connecting the switch to the local area network and telco lines
• Music-on-hold source with a standard mini-headphone Y-adapter (optional)
• Permanent earthing connector for grounding the device
• RJ-21 telephone cable (female on end connected to ShoreGear voice switch) for
analog port connections
• RJ-21 to RJ-11 patch panel for connecting telephones and trunk lines
• #1 Phillips screwdriver

Installation Location Requirements

To ensure optimum operating conditions for the SG-90BRI voice switch, verify the
operating environment is adequately ventilated, free of gas or airborne particles, and
isolated from electrical noise.
Installation

Installing the ShoreGear 90BRI in a 19-inch Rack

The SG-90BRI is placed in a 19-inch rack only by mounting a ShoreGear Dual Tray
into the rack, then installing the SG-90BRI into the Tray.
Refer to the Quick Install Guide for the ShoreGear Dual Tray for Tray installation
instructions and information on using the Tray.

Mounting the ShoreGear Voice Switch on a Flat Surface

If you plan to mount the switch on a flat surface, first attach the provided rubber feet
to the bottom corners of the device. (You can stack up to three switches in a surface
installation.)
German: Das ShoreGear Voice-Schaltgerät auf einer ebenen
Oberfläche montieren
Wenn Sie planen, das Gerät auf einer ebenen Oberfläche zu montieren, befestigen Sie
zunächst die mitgelieferten Gummifüße an den unteren Ecken des Geräts. (Bei einer
Oberflächeninstallation können Sie bis zu drei Schaltgeräte übereinander stapeln.)

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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
German: Einen Erdungsleiter anschließen
RJ-21X
Um den elektrischen Sicherheitsanforderungen für eine korrekte Erdung
Telco Port
nachzukommen, müssen Sie einen permanenten Erdungsschutz zwischen dem
ShoreGear-Gerät und der Erde des Kabelsystems installieren.
1. Schließen Sie ein Erdungskabel (Nr. 14 AWG oder größer) an die Schraube an der
Rückseite des Geräts an, die sich rechts neben dem Produktetikett befindet.
2. 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.

Servicing Procedures

WARNING: The SG-90BRI contains no internal field serviceable parts. Return the
equipment to ShoreTel for any required service procedures.
CAUTION: Internal fuses should be serviced only by qualified ShoreTel personnel. If
internal fuses are blown and require replacement, return the SG-90BRI to ShoreTel for
service.
WARTUNGSVERFAHREN
ACHTUNG: Der SG-90BRI enthält keine internen Teile, die vor Ort gewartet werden
können. Senden Sie das Gerät an ShoreTel, falls Wartungsarbeiten erforderlich sein
sollten.
VORSICHT: Interne Sicherungen dürfen nur von qualifizierten ShoreTel-Mitarbeitern
gewartet werden. Wenn interne Sicherungen ausgetauscht werden müssen, senden Sie
den SG-90BRI zur Wartung an ShoreTel.
Connections and Servicing
Connecting the ShoreGear Voice Switch to the Network
Once the ShoreGear 90BRI Voice Switch is secured to a rack or surface-
mounted, you can connect it to the data network. 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.

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.
1. Plug an AC surge protector (not provided) into a grounded AC power source.
2. 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 flashes 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 flashing, there is an internal error. Unplug the switch to power
it off, then power it back on. Refer to the "Configuring Switches" chapter in the
ShoreTel Administration Guide for information on flash 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.

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.
1. Connect a music-on-hold source (CD player or other audio source)
to the audio input port.
2. Connect your site's paging system to the audio output port.

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.
1. 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.
2. Plug the Telco cable into the port, then pull the Velcro strap tightly
around the cable connector and fasten it.
3. Connect the other end of the Telco cable to the punch-down block
or patch panel.
4. Use RJ-45 cables to connect your ISDN BRI lines to the telco ports.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger (e.g., 24 AWG) UL Listed
or CSA Certified Telecommunication Line Cord
VORSICHT: Um das Brandrisiko zu verringern, verwenden Sie nur Telekommunikationslei-
tungen Nr. 26 AWG oder größer (z.B. 24 AWG) mit UL- oder CSA-Zulassung
