CALL MANAGER SOFTWARE

In addition to using the telephone interface of your 212k IP phone to access 
the ShoreTel features, you can accomplish many of the same tasks with 
ShoreTel’s Call Manager software. ShoreTel's Call Manager software provides a 
visual, information-rich interface for managing and controlling 
communications – both telephone calls and voice mail.

The user-friendly interface lets you access all of the features and functions of 
your ShoreTel IP phone system, including unified messaging, point-and-click 
call management, customizable call-handling, and visual voice mail from your 
Windows-based PC.

The software works in concert with your 212k IP phone to let you perform the 
following tasks:

dial by name

change the call handling mode

open a SoftPhone session

keep a 1000-line call history of inbound and outbound calls

listen to their voice mails from the PC

Call Manager frees you from fruitless tasks like playing phone tag, looking up 
numbers, struggling to set up conference calls, or interacting with voice mail 
messages. Integrated presence eliminates phone tag by letting you know if a 
line is busy or if an employee has redirected calls to another destination – all 
before dialing. And a visual display of up to 16 callers lets you switch from one 
caller to another, transfer callers to another destination, or initiate a 
conference with a simple mouse click.

ShoreTel’s Call Manager software comes in five flavors, each offering access to 
slightly different capabilities and feature sets:

Personal Call Manager

Advanced Call Manager

Workgroup Agent Call Manager

Workgroup Supervisor Call Manager

Operator Call Manager

For more information about Personal Call Manager and what features are 
available to you, see your system administrator.
