Room Monitor 
 
Implementing features, see also Manager E Room Monitor

Definition  
The room monitor feature can be used to monitor a room. All telephone types can be used for this purpose. Only internal stations can use room monitoring.
When a user monitors a room, the room monitor telephone receives no call signaling, and the call is immediately through-connected.
A system-wide flag must be set via HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E only.
To monitor a room, monitored telephones without a microphone must have the handset off-hook.
If an optiPoint or OpenStage telephone calls a station activated as a room monitor, the standard configuration is to deactivate the microphone.
If a call is received by a monitoring station, camp on tone is heard at the monitoring station, but not at the monitored station. The user must disconnect from the monitored station call connection to answer the incoming call. The user can once again call the monitored station at a later time. The feature is still active at the monitored station until it goes on-hook.
The Flags screen is one of three screens in the System Status pathway of HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E that provides station-specific (rather than system-specific) status information. You can use the Flags screen to see if a station has activated Room Monitor or not.

Room monitor  
After activating this feature, the phone at the monitored station must remain off the hook (except for optiPoint 500 phones with the speakerphone function).  
If an optiPoint or OpenStage calls a station activated as a room monitor, the speakerphone function on the calling phone is deactivated.  
Hunt group  
If the room monitor station is in a hunt group, the station is not taken into account for incoming calls to the hunt group.  
Analog trunks  
If you connect an external station by consultation hold to a station that has activated room monitoring, the external trunk must have a backward release criterion.
