ShoreTel Account Viewer (historically utilized within ShoreTel/Mitel enterprise business systems) is an administrative and end-user tool used to monitor account metrics, verify extension provisioning, and track call histories or voicemail balances. While the software ecosystem has transitioned under the Mitel MiVoice Connect umbrella, establishing your account dashboard requires clear client-to-server alignment.
This complete setup guide outlines how to provision, configure, and initialize the software. Phase 1: Server-Side Account Provisioning
Before an individual can use the account viewer or communication client, a system administrator must map out their user account within the system backbone.
Access the Core Portal: Open Internet Explorer or your designated browser and input your corporate ShoreWare Director IP address.
Navigate to Users: Click on Users in the left sidebar menu, and select Individual Users.
Create Profile: Click Add New User at Site, then inputs the user’s first name, last name, and designated extensions.
Link the Mailbox: Ensure the Mailbox check box is toggled on to allow account tracking for messaging.
Save Credentials: Set the Client User ID to match the phone extension. Keep the temporary password handy (the factory default configuration is usually 1234). Phase 2: Client Software Deployment
To safely interact with your account profiles and call metrics, you must download the companion desktop workstation environment.
System Cleanup: Permanently uninstall older legacy software versions like ShoreTel Communicator to prevent registration file conflicts.
Run Setup: Double-click the installation file provided via your IT administrator’s corporate network link.
Grant Admin Rights: Click Install with local administrative permissions approved on your Windows or macOS endpoint.
Complete Wizard: Click Finish once the status bar fills to automatically generate desktop icons. Phase 3: Establishing the First-Time Connection
With your endpoint software properly placed, you must bind your local desktop station to the live corporate database. ShoreTel Connect Client Quick Reference Guide
