we have a customer who is looking at getting the 406v2 and set up as a "key" system. he wants to be able to press a line button that is in use to see who is on that line.

is this possible?

it can be monitored but not through the line buttons you have to set up groups and a shortcode to listen into the conversations, an easier way is to just record the calls and listen to it then. IF you want details the I have to dig deep into my files to find the exact way to do it.

This is what I found in the help in Manager

____________________________________________________________

Call Listen
This feature allows a user to monitor another conversation without being heard. It requires the user being monitored to be a member of the group set as the button user's Monitor Group (User | Telephony) in the IP Office configuration. The use of call listen is also controlled by the Can Intrude setting of the user and the Cannot Be Intruded settings of the target. It is not affected by the settings of the third party to the call if they are internal.

Warning: The use of monitoring may be subject to local and national restrictions. This feature should only be used in compliance with those restrictions.

Note: On pre-4.0 IP Office systems, IP phone extensions can be used to monitor but cannot be monitored.



IP Office Software Level: 2.1 , 3.0DT , 3.0 , 3.1 , 3.2 , 4.0 , 4.1 .

Action: Advanced -> Call -> Call Listen.

Action Data: User number.

Default Label: Listn.

That way he is monitoring specific users.

He says he wants to press a line button and see who is on that line.

The way you are saying would mean he would already have to know who is on the phone.

have Call status installed on the PC and then he can pick and choose from there who is on line what and then he can do it with the call listen feature

Yeah what Westi said.

Install it on his local machine and he can see who is on the phone and on which line at anytime.
 
sorry for the brain fart!!!!

i didnt even think of using "call status"

thanks Westi!!
 
no worries about that one it only came to me while I was typing a few other suggestions in, then I erased that and put the call status in.

Quoting from the Knowledge Base on key-and-lamp:

Line appearance buttons allow specific individual line to be used when making calls or answered when they have an incoming call. It also allows users to bridge into calls on a particular line.

Doesn't this answer the question?

Never tried the short code but the Channel Monitor?!
Or the short code Toggle Calls?!

It works! Now if only I could remember what I did...

to MattRutter: Yes you are absolutely right it works just like that, the only thing is that you get a double beep as a reminder that someone has joined the call except if you unckeck the "beep on listen" in the system options.
"can intrude" must be checked on and "can not be intruded" must be checked off in the users telephony tab, then it will work just by pressing the line button.
I tested it with a SOE and R4.1 firmware.

Installing Call status is the best solution here, however I see one down site, and maybe someone can correct me.
The call status program requires a login, which means that user now has full access to the system, with the potential pitfalls that beings.
Anyway around that?
 
the login and password is in the call status and stays in ther so if you log in the first time then the customer has to only click OK and doesn;t even need to know the password
