6.8.86 Group Listen On

Using group listen allows callers to be heard through the phone's handsfree speaker but to only hear the phone's handset

microphone. When group listen is enabled, it modifies the handsfree functionality of the user’s phone in the following

manner

· When the user’s phone is placed in handsfree/speaker mode, the speech path from the connected party is

broadcast on the phone speaker but the phone's base microphone is disabled.

· The connected party can only hear speech delivered via the phone's handset microphone.

· Group listen is not supported for IP phones or when using a phone's HEADSET button.

· Currently connected calls are not affected by changes to this setting. If group listen is required it must be selected

before the call is connected.

This enables listeners at the user’s phone to hear the connected party whilst limiting the connected party to hear only

what is communicated via the phone handset.
