Silent Monitor and Barge In
89
If a supervisor attempts to monitor an agent’s extension, the supervisor
phone LCD will display the error message
no calls to supervise
if:
■
The agent is not logged in.
■
The agent is not on a call.
■
The agent is currently monitored by another supervisor.
While in Silent Monitor mode, the supervisor can join the conversation by
entering the feature code for Barge In. After barging in, the supervisor
can return to Silent Monitor mode by reentering the Silent Monitor
feature code. See
Barging In
.
Note the following Silent Monitor and Barge In feature conditions and
restrictions:
■
Multiple supervisors cannot monitor the same extension at the same
time.
■
If an agent parks a monitored call, initiates a conference, or transfers
the call, the supervisor will be disconnected from the session.
■
If a supervisor attempts to park, conference, or transfer a monitored
call, the action will be ignored and the Display Panel shows

.
■
If a customer or agent terminates a monitored call by hanging up, the
supervisor will be disconnected from the session.
■
Supervisors cannot monitor conference calls.
■
The agent, the customer, and the supervisor can place a monitored
call on hold. The results depend on who places the call on hold and
whether or not Music On Hold (MOH) is enabled.
■
Multi-site monitoring is not allowed. The agent and the supervisor
must belong to the same site.

If the VCX call processor fails during an established silent monitoring

parties in the call can invoke mid-call features.
■
The supervisor can monitor a Hunt Group call by selecting the
member's extension, not the Hunt Group's extension.
■
Bridge line connected calls can be monitored by selecting the
extension of the connected party (primary or secondary, depending on
who is connected).
