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.
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 con-
versation, 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.
