Supervisory 
Monitoring
Supervisory monitoring is a feature that is typically used in call centers to 
allow supervisors to join a conversation between an agent and a 
customer to ensure proper customer support. The supervisor’s presence 
may or may not be announced to the agent or customer by a tone. 
Supervisory monitoring enables monitoring of incoming calls to 
Automatic Call Distribution Groups and Hunt Groups. Other calls to and 
from the agent’s telephone are also available for monitoring, including:
■
When an agent calls a customer back (outbound call)
■
When an agent receives a call from a customer on their Direct Inward 
Dial (DID)
■
3-party Conference calls (The monitoring party counts as one of the 
parties in an NBX conference, which supports up to four parties.)
The supervisor must provide a password to access the agent’s extension 
during these calls.
Your organization may be legally required to add an announcement to 
tell callers that their call may be monitored.
Agent Role for 3Com
Entry and Analog
Telephones
3Com telephones that do not have a display panel and appropriate soft 
buttons such as, the 3Com Entry Telephone or an analog telephone, can 
operate only as endpoint devices for Supervisory Monitoring. This means 
that although a supervisor may be able to monitor agents who are using 
a 3Com Entry telephone or an analog telephone, a supervisor cannot use 
either or these telephones to monitor agents.
