About the ST50A and ST100A
The ST50A and ST100A Voice Switches connect enterprise telephone extensions through an internal
IP network, or to central office (CO) analog trunk lines.
The switch provides connectivity through:
•
Two RJ-45 local area network (LAN) connectors
•
One RJ-21X port (male) for connecting the switch to a telephone company punch-down block,
patch panel, or 12-port harmonica connector
•
default
One DB-9 (female), RS-232C maintenance port (
bit, no handshake) for serial communications
•
One audio input port (3.5 mm stereo) for connecting to a music-on-hold source
•

bell. ShoreTel offers an optional paging adapter to provide a balanced output as well as a contact
closure ideal for overhead paging systems. Refer to the ShoreTel Paging Adapter Quick Install
Guide for information about the Paging Adapter.

Installation Location Requirements
To ensure optimum operating conditions for the ST50A or ST100A voice switch, verify the operating
environment is adequately ventilated, free of gas or airborne particles, and isolated from electrical
noise.
Installation and Servicing
Installing the ST50A or ST100A in a 19-inch Rack
The ST50A and ST100A is placed in a 19-inch rack only by mounting a ShoreTel Dual Tray into
the rack, then installing the voice switch into the Tray.
Refer to the Quick Install Guide for the ShoreTel Dual Tray for Tray installation instructions and
information on using the Tray.
Mounting the ShoreTel 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.
Installing the ST50A/ST100A on a Wall Mount
The ST100DA is placed on a wall by attaching the ShoreTel Wall Mount Kit to the wall, and
then attaching the appliance to the bracket. Refer to the ShoreTel Wall Mount Kit Quick Install
Guide for more information.

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 ShoreTel voice switch and the wiring system earth 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
Um den elektrischen Sicherheitsanforderungen für eine korrekte Erdung 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 ST50A and ST100A contain 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 ST50A or ST100A to ShoreTel for service.
WARTUNGSVERFAHREN
ACHTUNG: Der ST50A und ST100A 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 ST50A oder
ST100A zur Wartung an ShoreTel."
Connections
Connecting the ShoreTel Voice Switch to the Network
Once the ST50A or ST100A 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.
Linux will attempt to connect via the top RJ-45 port first, and then
will attempt to establish a link on the bottom RJ-45 port.
Powering on the ShoreTel 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 10/100/1000 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.
ShoreTel provides a Paging Adapter to facilitate paging
connections. Refer to the ShoreTel Paging Adapter Quick
Instsall Guide for more information.
Connecting Trunk and Telephone Lines
Use an RJ-21 cable and 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.
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
For detailed information on switch port and trunk configuration, see the "Configuring
Switches" and "Configuring Trunks" sections in the ShoreTel Administration Guide.
