Configuration and Status
Network Configuration
Once the Mitel voice switch is installed and powered on, it must be configured for network operations.
A 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
Mitel Connect Planning and Installation Guide.
Configuring the Voice Switch from a Console
1.
Use a straight-through serial cable, DB9 male to DB9 female, or suitable USB-to-RS-232 serial
adapter to connect the switch maintenance port 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.
3.
At the login prompt, enter:
Login: root
Password: ShoreTel
4.
Type stcli to bring up a configuration tool to set network parameters and view current status.
The default switch configuration is to use DHCP for network parameters and automatic detection
of speed, duplex, and flow control settings.
5.
Choose Menu Options and follow the onscreen instructions for setting network parameters,
including IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
