Service Observing interactions for SIP phones

Last Updated : Oct 07, 2020 |

Service Observing from a SIP endpoint works as follows:

  • A service observer does not have to be logged-in as an agent to enable Service Observing on an object (VDN, agent, or station).

  • If logged-in as an agent, a service observer must be in an AUX work state to enable Service Observing on an object (VDN, agent, or station).

Interaction

Description

Basic

The basic mode starts in the listen-only mode and can be changed to the listen-talk or coach mode, based on the configuration done on the phone.

No-talk

The no-talk mode starts in listen-only mode. This mode cannot be changed to the listen-talk or coach modes.

Next-Call

The next-call mode starts observing association when the next call arrives. This mode starts in the listen-only mode and can be changed to the listen-talk or coach mode, based on the configuration done on the phone.

Note:

Warning tones do not play when observing using the Next-Call mode.

VDN-By-Loc

For this mode, you must enter the VDN extension and location number. The VDN-By-Loc mode starts in the listen-only mode and can be changed to the listen-talk or coach mode, based on the configuration done on the phone. The VDN-By-Loc mode combines Listen Only and Listen/Talk versions of non-SIP FAC activated VDN SO.
