Features
Monitor / Silent Monitor
Description
Monitor lets an extension user listen to the conversation at a busy extension. To implement Monitor, an
extension user just calls a busy extension and dials the Monitor code. The busy extension and their caller
have no indication of the intrusion. There are no tones heard and there is no visual indication that monitoring
is occurring. For example, Monitor could help the supervisor of a service department. The department super-
visor could listen to the questions that callers ask without disturbing the service call.
Conditions
• Monitor uses a system Conference circuit. See Conference (page 89) for more.
Default Setting
• Disabled
