❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
🔹 Can the ShoreTel ShoreGear 90BRI operate autonomously or does it require a server?
The ShoreTel 90BRI voice switch features a unique distributed call control architecture that allows it to operate autonomously. Unlike traditional centralized IPBX systems, this voice switch can continue processing phone calls even if the ShoreTel Director server is disconnected or under maintenance. For a full installation with all advanced features (centralized management, unified directory, mobility), a ShoreTel Director server is recommended. The ShoreGear 90BRI thus offers maximum resilience for critical enterprise telephony with guaranteed five-nines availability.
🔹 What types of IP phones can I connect to the ShoreGear 90BRI?
This IP telephony switch natively supports all ShoreTel IP phones (models IP 110, 115, 212k, 230, 265, 420, 480, 485G) via the proprietary MGCP protocol. It is also SIP compatible, allowing integration of standard SIP IP phones from third-party brands such as Cisco, Yealink, Polycom, Grandstream, or Snom. You can also use ShoreTel Communicator softphones on Windows/Mac computers and iOS/Android mobile apps. The system supports up to 90 simultaneous endpoints (hardware phones, softphones, SIP phones), offering great flexibility for your professional unified communications infrastructure.
🔹 How to use the 8 BRI channels of the ShoreGear 90BRI?
The 8 digital ISDN BRI (Basic Rate Interface) channels are distributed over 4 physical RJ-45 ports on the front panel. Each ISDN BRI port offers 2 simultaneous voice channels (ISDN 2B+D standard), allowing 8 simultaneous phone calls to the public operator telephone network. These ISDN BRI interfaces are ideal for companies with operator Numeris lines or for connecting inter-site ISDN links. The ShoreGear 90BRI automatically manages Euro-ISDN (DSS1) signaling, DDI (Direct Dialing In) numbering, ISDN supplementary services, and caller ID. Simple configuration via web interface or DB-9 serial console.
🔹 Is the voice switch compatible with operator SIP trunks?
Yes, the ShoreTel ShoreGear 90BRI fully supports operator SIP trunks, allowing a gradual migration from traditional ISDN telephony to cloud IP telephony. It can handle up to 90 simultaneous SIP trunks without a media proxy (direct RTP mode) or 12 trunks with an integrated media proxy (for NAT traversal or advanced interoperability). Compatible with major SIP trunk providers like OVH, SFR Business, Orange Business Services, Keyyo, or other enterprise VoIP operators. This dual ISDN BRI and SIP compatibility offers maximum flexibility for your telephony migration strategy and allows hybrid ISDN/SIP operation during the transition.
🔹 Can I connect classic analog devices like a fax?
Absolutely, the ShoreGear 90BRI has 4 analog FXS (Foreign eXchange Subscriber) ports accessible via the RJ-21X connector on the front panel. These analog extension ports allow you to connect standard analog phones, traditional fax machines, fax modems, credit card payment terminals, or any other existing analog telephone equipment. The RJ-21X connector (Amphenol 25-pair format) easily connects to a 110 punchdown block, a telephone patch panel, or a 12-port harmonica connector depending on your existing telephony infrastructure. This feature ensures compatibility with your legacy equipment while benefiting from the advantages of modern IP telephony.
🔹 What are the advantages of the integrated voicemail?
The unified voicemail integrated into the ShoreGear 90BRI offers up to 56 hours of audio storage and supports up to 90 individual voicemail boxes. Each user has their own personalized voicemail box with customizable greeting, email notification of new messages, and access via phone or ShoreTel web interface. The professional voicemail includes advanced features: voicemail forwarding, queuing, automatic distribution, message groups, and timestamping. Messages can be accessed from ShoreTel IP phones, the ShoreTel Communicator app on PC/Mac, or the mobile app. This native integration eliminates the need for a separate external voicemail server and simplifies system administration.
