Eavesdropping 4

[josuke6266]

I am interesting in knowing how to eavesdrop on persons in my organisation covertly on a meridian PBX system.

There should be a silent monitoring feature on the system to pick up sound in a room, but I am unable to access the feature.

Any help on the programming instruction.

Thanks.

Maybe you should post in the Nortel forum. I have usually used melco monitoring units for this purpose in the past.

Evesdropping in most cases is illeagle, on phone calls it is illeagle in varying ways. on a company phone system it seems to be getting a little fuzzy (this call may be monitored for training purposes, etc.) most of the time when a company officer/business owner/authorized supervisor is asking about monitoring phone calls by their employees they refer to this as monitoring, Your question of eavesdropping would make most techs VERY cautious of what they do next. Asking this on an open web forum makes me even more cautious. I would recommend you first consult a good lawyer and then a reputable vendor.

Here is a site with some information but like jerry said I would also check with someone locally.

As a "technical user" with no history to support you actually being a technician who works on systems I would advise everyone to not give you any further assitance with your question. If you were in a position to be doing this in an authorised fashion, I doubt you would be looking to get it acomplished on TT's.

There are many requests in the forum which are really only proper to be answered to an actual technician not to anyone else.

First of all, the word is IL-LEGAL. For a moment I was concerned about somebody's sick bird.

Now, to the original poster. If you were allowed to monitor certain persons in your organisation, your phone vendor might be able to instruct you how and turn the feature on. I'm guessing that your are not the authorised person to be asking that question and you might also need to seek an opinion from your friendly barrister.

Is that the proper explanation for both sides of the pond and equator?

Note for all:
josuke6266 has only asked one question in the forums and hasen't even logged in since 14 feb. I think that aarenot and I still have valid reasons to question the validity of this question.

LkEErie: sorry for missing the hyphen Sister eill smack my knuckles repeatedly for you.

Although many consider Auto Answer or handsfree answerback a form of silent monitor there is still the indication that the set is on an active call.

It sounds like what was requested was not monitoring a telephone conversation but pulling audio from a idle set. I've seen schematics for this simple type of RF bug.

If I knew the company I was working for was engaging in this practice I'd be working elsewhere.
