Description
Allows a supervisor to monitor an active call silently. Neither party on the call can hear the
supervisor. The user may receive an audible alert during a call when it is being monitored.
When a call is secure, a lock icon displays. Callers may also receive an audible alert to indicate
that the call is being monitored. The connected parties may also receive an audible alert that
indicates that the call is secure and is being monitored.
When an active call is being monitored or recorded, the user can receive or place intercom
calls; however, if the user places an intercom call, the active call is put on hold. This action
causes the recording session to terminate and the monitoring session to suspend. To resume
the monitoring session, the person being monitored must resume the call.
See Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide, "Monitoring and
Recording" chapter.
Each line can support multiple calls. Only one call can be active at any time; other calls are
automatically placed on hold.
