Be sure all phones that should NOT be allowed to monitor have a COS that restricts monitoring.
•
Silent Monitor is allowed or denied by setting the appropriate extension COS.
CAUTION
– When using the ACD “Silent Monitor” feature, in some states it is
illegal (or civilly actionable) to monitor telephone communications without
giving prior warning to all participants. These laws do not make the Silent
Monitor feature on a telephone system illegal. Before activating this feature,
please check applicable state and federal laws.
