Listen-in is the process of monitoring a conversation without notifying the participants. You can also listen in (screen) voice mail in progress.

1.Pick up any phone or otherwise get an inside line dial tone.
2.Enter the Listen-in sequence

.
3.Enter the number of your voice mail extension.
4.If prompted, enter your password1, or a password with barge-in privileges.
5.If your password is accepted, you will be listening to the person currently leaving you a message.
6.If you want to Barge-in (take the call), enter 
Flash 
. The voice mail recorded up to that point will be saved, the recording will terminate, and you will be connected to the caller.
If your system administrator has given your account Barge-in/Listen-in permissions, you can also use the sequence described above to listen into other people’s conversations while they are on the phone, for quality control and monitoring purposes. Check with your system administrator to see if you have Barge-in/Listen- in permission.
Listen-in and Barge-in can be blocked on a line by the system administrator, by setting the line as a Secure Line.
You do not need Barge-in/Listen-in privileges to listen in to voice mail in progress on your own voice mail boxes.
WARNING: Listening-in to a conversation without the consent of one or both parties may be a violation of local, state, and federal privacy laws. It is the responsibility of the user of the NexPath Telephony Server, when using features of the system, to assure that they are in compliance with all applicable laws.
