Call Monitoring

Monitor Modes

Call Monitoring allows authorized users to monitor another extension user’s call in real-time. The supervisor can dial “feature codes” + “extension number” to monitor the extension user’s call.

The PBX supports the following monitor modes:

  • Listen (Default code: *90)

    Listen mode allows the supervisor to listen to a call in real-time.

  • Whisper (Default code: *91)

    Whisper mode allows the supervisor to speak/coach his staff to help them handle a call.

    The other party could not hear the supervisor’s voice.

  • Barge-in (Default code: *92)

    Barge-in mode allows the supervisor to join a call.
