Whisper Page; Picking Up The Night Bell - ShoreTel 230 User Manual

1 ShoreTel IP Phone 230/230g
An incoming call for a monitored extension appears on your phone like this (below):
You can pick up the call while it is ringing by pressing the custom key or by pressing the Answer soft
key. You can send it to the monitored extension's voice mail by pressing To VM. You can also answer
a call after the owner of the monitored extension has put it on hold by pressing the Pickup soft key.
When you put a call that has come in to the monitored extension on hold, the call is parked on the
owner's phone, so that either of you may pick up the call again.
The system administrator can configure your monitored extensions to deliver Caller ID on inbound call,
display Caller ID on active calls, turn on, turn off or delay the ringing on inbound calls.

Whisper Page

With the appropriate permissions (set by your system administrator for both your phone and the target
phone), the Whisper Page feature lets you break into an active call in order to speak with an internal
user. This occurs without the remote caller hearing the interruption and without you hearing the remote
caller.
To issue a Whisper Page to another user who is on a call, dial
user. Note that the recipient must be on an IP110, IP210, IP212k, IP230/230g, IP530, IP560/560g, of
IP565 handset. If a Whisper Page call is sent to any other phone (e.g., IP100, SoftPhone, or analog
phone) the call will be treated as an intercom call.
Note
If you use the Whisper Page feature often, you should have your system administrator configure a
custom key to provide one-button Whisper Page operation. See
on page 25 for more information.

Picking Up the Night Bell

A night bell, when activated by your system administrator, allows calls to route to an extension that will
ring on an overhead speaker. This feature can be convenient for off-hours when a caller needs to
speak with anyone at a site.
