<h2>Configuring ShoreTel</h2>

<p>By default, the CDRs are written to the MySQL Database.</p>


<p>The database that TIM Enterprise will connect to is called 
'ShoreWareCDR'. You will need to create a username and password on the 
ShoreWare Server for the MySQL database so TIM Enterprise can connect to
 it. You may need to speak to your system maintainer to create this for
 you.</p>

<p>You will need to know the following information for TIM Enterprise to
 connect successfully to the Shoretel ShoreWareCDR database:</p>

<ul>
	<li>IP/DNS of the MySQL Database which is located on the ShoreWare Server.</li>
	<li>Username and Password to connect to the ShoreWareCDR database.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Setting up a DSN connection for TIM Enterprise</h2>
