Both the manager and the assistant in a WhisperPage session must be
assigned to an NBX WhisperPage domain and have appropriate
WhisperPage access privileges.
To view your WhisperPage access privileges, log in to the NBX NetSet
Utility and go to
System Group Settings > WhisperPage . This page
reports the following information:
■
Whether or not the WhisperPage alert tone is enabled.
■
The period of time in seconds (called decline time) before an initiated
WhisperPage session becomes active.
■
Users (listeners) with whom you can initiate a WhisperPage session
■
Users (speakers) who can initiate a WhisperPage session with you
The NBX NetSet administrator can enable or disable the alert tone and
specify the Decline Time, which ranges from 0 to 9.9 seconds. For
additional tips and considerations on using WhisperPage, see
“More
About WhisperPage” later in this chapter.
Starting a
WhisperPage Session
To start a WhisperPage session:
1 Pick up the handset.
2 Press Feature + 426 . Or press the Access Button if one is configured for
WhisperPage .
The display panel prompts you for the WhisperPage extension.
3 Enter the extension you want to whisper to.
If the listener’s telephone has a display panel, it shows the WhisperPage
attempt and your extension. Additionally, an optional tone may be played
to alert the listener.
At this point, the listener can either accept the WhisperPage request by
doing nothing, or refuse the request by activating Do Not Disturb.
If the listener accepts the WhisperPage request, after a brief delay, you
will hear a tone that tells you to begin the WhisperPage session.
Additionally, your telephone’s display panel shows “Whispering” and the
listener’s extension.
4 Begin speaking. When you have finished, go off-hook to end the
WhisperPage session.
