Tried this

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(SHORETEL_CDR, 'SELECT 1')

and get the same error even still.

Found this

Both of which suggest to turn off prefetch. Tried that with no luck. I will say however, that based on their instructions it sounds like the ODBC driver they're looking at is different than mine because Mine doesn't have just an "Enable prefetch" checkbox on the "security" tab , but instead has a "prefetch from server by [textbox]" option on the "cursors/results" tab. Either way, I tried turning this feature off, recreating my linked server, and it made no difference.
