Monitoring

Maintaining visibility into who is on the phone and who isn’t allows you to effectively handle calls to insure hold times are short and that callers get handled in the best way possible. The monitoring feature allows users to observe the line status (e.g., active or inactive) of other phones through the additional line keys on the phone. Users can quickly dial a monitored phone by pressing the associated line key on their desktop phone. As an administrator you have the ability to grant monitoring privileges, activate the feature and modify settings for users at your sites.

Feature prerequisites

Before the monitoring feature can be used the following conditions must be met:

  • At least one number must be available to be assigned to a station package.
  • Monitoring is available for Yealink phones except for cordless and conference phones, such as the Yealink CP920.

Note: Monitoring does not work on Shared Call Appearance applications.
