of the assistant.
If the manager is not on an active call when the assistant starts a
WhisperPage session, the call is placed just as if the assistant dialed the
manager’s extension.
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 (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
