For additional tips and considerations on using Supervisory Monitoring,
see your system administrator.
The WhisperPage feature allows you to dial an NBX extension that is
involved in an active conversation with another person and speak to that
person without the other party on the call being able to hear you.
WhisperPage is typically used in the workplace by an assistant and
manager. While a manager is on a call, an assistant can start a
WhisperPage session to alert the manager of an important meeting or
call. During the WhisperPage session, the assistant cannot hear the
manager or the third party and the third party cannot hear the comments
of the assistant.
If the manager is not on an active call when the assistant starts a
WhisperPage session, the call is placed just as if the assistant dialed the
manager's extension.
Both the manager and the assistant in a WhisperPage session must be
assigned to a WhisperPage domain and have appropriate WhisperPage
access privileges.
To view your WhisperPage access privileges, log in to the NBX NetSet
Utility and go to System Group Settings > WhisperPage. This page
