Installation and Servicing
Installation Location Requirements
To ensure optimum operating conditions for the SG-220T1A voice switch, verify the
operating environment is adequately ventilated, free of gas or airborne particles, and
isolated from electrical noise.
Installing the ShoreGear 220T1A in a 19-inch Rack
The SG-220T1A is placed in a 19-inch rack only by mounting a ShoreGear Dual Tray into
the rack, then installing the SG-220T1A into the Tray. You can install the SG-220T1A 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.
Mounting the ShoreGear Voice Switch on a Flat Surface
If you plan to mount the switch on a fl at surface, fi rst 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
Oberfl äche montieren
Wenn Sie planen, das Gerät auf einer ebenen Oberfl äche zu montieren, befestigen Sie
zunächst die mitgelieferten Gummifüße an den unteren Ecken des Geräts. (Bei einer
Oberfl ächeninstallation 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.
Port
Connect a ground wire (#14 AWG wire or larger) to the screw on the back of the unit
1.
and to the right of the product label.
Connect the other end of the ground wire to the wiring system ground.
2.
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
Telco Port
Um den elektrischen Sicherheitsanforderungen für eine korrekte Erdung nachzukommen,
müssen Sie einen permanenten Erdungsschutz zwischen dem ShoreGear-Gerät und der
Erde des Kabelsystems installieren.
Schließen Sie ein Erdungskabel (Nr. 14 AWG oder größer) an die Schraube an der
1.
Rückseite des Geräts an, die sich rechts neben dem Produktetikett befi ndet.
Schließen Sie das andere Ende des Erdungskabels an die Erde des Kabelsystems an.
2.
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-220T1A contains no internal fi eld serviceable parts. Return the
equipment to ShoreTel for any required service procedures.
CAUTION: Internal fuses should be serviced only by qualifi ed ShoreTel personnel. If
internal fuses are blown and require replacement, return the SG-220T1A to ShoreTel for
service.
Connections
Connecting the ShoreGear Voice Switch to the Network
Once the SG-220T1A 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.
Plug an AC surge protector (not provided) into a grounded AC power source.
1.
Plug one end of the provided power cord into the receptacle on the back of the switch,
2.
then plug the other end into the AC surge protector.
The power LED fl ashes momentarily, and remains lit.
• If LED is not lit, verify the power cord is plugged into the switch and 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 "Confi 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.
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
1.
the audio input port.
Connect your site' s paging system to the audio output port.
2.
Connecting a T1 Line
After setting up the network connections and confi guring the ShoreGear
220T1A Voice Switch for operations, you can connect your T1 line to
the switch.
Use an RJ-45 T1 cable to connect your T1 line to the Telco 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.
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws on either side
1.
of the RJ-21X port, then place the retainer on the port and re-attach
the screws.
Plug the Telco cable into the port, then pull the Velcro strap tightly
2.
around the cable connector and fasten it.
Connect the other end of the Telco cable to the punch-down block or
3.
patch panel.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of fi re, use only No. 26 AWG or larger (e.g., 24 AWG) UL Listed
or CSA Certifi ed Telecommunication Line Cord

Switches" and "Confi guring Trunks" sections in the ShoreTel Administration Guide.
