Barge-In 2 - 97
Barge-In
Description
Barge-In permits an extension user to break into another extension user’s established call, including
Conference calls. This sets up a Conference-type conversation between the intruding extension and the
parties on the initial call. With Barge-In, an extension user can get a message through to a busy
co-worker right away.
There are two Barge-In modes: Monitor Mode (Silent Monitor) and Speech Mode. With Monitor Mode,
the caller Barging In can listen to another user’s conversation but cannot participate. With Speech Mode,
the caller Barging In can listen and join another user’s conversation.

Caution
The use of monitoring, recording, or listening devices to eavesdrop, monitor,
retrieve, or record telephone conversation or other sound activities, whether
or not contemporaneous with transmission, may be illegal in certain
circumstances under federal or state laws. Legal advice should be sought
prior to implementing any practice that monitors or records any telephone
conversation. Some federal and state laws require some form of notification
to all parties to a telephone conversation, such as using a beep tone or other
notification methods or requiring the consent of all parties to the telephone
conversation, prior to monitoring or recording the telephone conversation.
Some of these laws incorporate strict penalties.
