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 is 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 Monitor only 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 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.
