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 Monitor,
the initiating extension and the receiving extension must activate it.
When using multiline terminals 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. However, only one
single line telephone can monitor another single line telephone at a time.
Room Monitor for Single Lines
This option enables you to monitor the room status through your single line telephones. Between
multiline terminals, the monitored room status is picked up by the telephone’s microphone and the
activity is heard through the speaker of the monitoring multiline terminal. Between single line telephones,
at the station to be monitored, a user goes off-hook and dials a service code and the extension number
of the monitoring telephone. At the monitoring station, a user goes off-hook and dials a service code and
the extension number of the monitored telephone. The activity of the area where the monitored
telephone is placed can then be heard at the monitoring telephone. This service is available until the
handset of the monitored telephone is placed on-hook.
Conditions
Room Monitor is for listening only. It does not allow for conversation between the
monitoring and monitored extensions.
An extension user can not monitor an Attendant.
A multiline terminal user cannot monitor a single line telephone and a single line telephone
cannot monitor a multiline terminals.
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.
