Room Monitor
Room Monitor lets an extension user listen to the sounds in a co-worker’s area. For
example, the receptionist could listen for sounds in the warehouse when it is left
unattended. To use Room Monitor, the initiating extension and the receiving
extension must activate it.
When using multiline terminals for monitoring, an extension user can only Monitor one
extension at a time. Many extensions can Monitor the same extension at the same
time. However, only one single line telephone can monitor another single line
telephone at a time.
Room Monitor for Single Lines
This option enables you to monitor the room status through your single line
telephones. Between multiline terminals, the monitored room status is picked up by
the telephone microphone and the activity is heard through the speaker of the
monitoring multiline terminal. Between single line telephones, at the station to be
monitored, a user goes off-hook and dials a service code and the extension number of
the monitoring telephone. At the monitoring station, a user goes off-hook and dials a
service code and the extension number of the monitored telephone.
The activity of the area where the monitored telephone is placed can then be heard at
the monitoring telephone. This service is available until the handset of the monitored
telephone is placed on-hook.
The use of monitoring, recording, or listening devices to eavesdrop,
monitor, retrieve, or record telephone conversation or other sound
activities, whether or not contemporaneous with transmission, may
be illegal in certain circumstances under federal or state laws.
Legal advice should be sought prior to implementing any practice
that monitors or records any telephone conversation. Some federal
and state laws require some form of notification to all parties to a
telephone conversation, such as using a beep tone or other
notification methods or requiring the consent of all parties to the
telephone conversation, prior to monitoring or recording the
telephone conversation. Some of these laws incorporate strict
penalties.
