Room Monitor
Description
Room Monitor lets an extension user listen to the sounds in a co-workers area. For example, the
receptionist could listen for sounds in the warehouse when it’s left unattended. To use Room Mon-
itor, the initiating extension and the receiving extension must activate it.
When using keysets for monitoring, an extension user can only Monitor one extension at a time.
However, many extensions can Monitor the same extension at the same time.
With single line phones, multiple SLTs can be programmed to be monitored by the same SLT.
However, only one SLT can monitor another SLT at a time.
Room Monitor for Single Lines
This option enables you to monitor the room status through your single line telephone. This can be
used with the Hotel/Motel feature as well. Between keysets, the monitored room status is picked up
by the phone’s microphone and the activity is heard through the speaker of the monitoring system
phone. Between single line phones, a user goes off hook on the monitored phone and, from another
single line phone, dials a service code and the extension number. The activity of the area where the
monitored phone is placed can then be heard at the monitoring phone. This service is available until
the handset of the monitored telephone is placed on hook.
