I have a receptionist who monitors 15 extensions, but is too lazy to press the PICKUP softkey then the monitored button to intercept the call. Is there a way to simply press the monitored/speed-dial button to intercept the call? I'm using CME 4.3.

Hi Marcus,
If the extensions are in Monitor mode then by default they should be shared lines and able to be answered by pressing the applicable Line Button. Can you send the config for the receptionist phone :)
Thanks,

Hi Rob
Say A calls B but B just rings, can C, the receptionest who is monitoring on 7931 simply press the button to intercept call without pressing the pickup soft-key first? Does this make sense?

Hi Marcus,
Makes perfect sense :) If "B" is one of these lines;
2m10 3m3 4m9
button 5m52 6m14 7m25 8m30
button 9m28 10m1 11m23
Then yes, the call should also be flashing on Marzia's phone and can be answered directly by pressing the related Line Button.
Hope this helps!

Hi Rob
When I press the line button for B it sends a ring out, it tries to ring B but does not pickup the call, B just keeps on ringing from caller A. I can use the button for fast dialling and transferring, but not for intercepting. OK, but you say it must work, I will do some more testing.
Thanks a mill,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking (bad brain day :) Your design is working as expected.
Monitor Mode for Shared Lines
In Cisco CME 3.0 and later versions, Monitor mode for shared lines provides a visible line status indicating whether the line is in-use or not.
When the line is in use, it cannot be used for incoming or outgoing calls. A monitor-line lamp can be off or unlit only when its line is in the idle call state. The idle state occurs before a call is made and after a call is completed. For all other call states, the monitor line lamp is on or lit.
The line button for a monitored line can also be used as a direct-station-select for a call transfer when the monitored line is in an idle state. In this case, the receptionist who transfers a call from a normal line can press the Transfer button and then press the line button of the monitored line, causing the call to be transferred to the phone number of the monitored line.
For configuration information, see the "SCCP: Assigning Directory Numbers to Phones" section.
Monitor mode is intended for use only in the context of shared lines so that a receptionist can visually monitor the in-use status of several users' phone extensions; for example, for Busy Lamp Field (BLF) notification.
The following example shows a monitor-line configuration. Extension 2311 is the manager's line, and ephone 1 is the manager's phone. The manager's assistant monitors extension 2311 on button 2 of ephone 2. When the manager is on the line, the lamp is lit on the assistant's phone. If the lamp is not lit, the assistant can speed-dial the manager by pressing button 2.
ephone-dn 11
number 2311
ephone-dn 22
number 2322
ephone 1
button 1:11
ephone 2
button 1:22 2m11
Hope this helps! Sorry for the confusion my friend!

No worries mate, I thought as much, now I have proof that she will have to use call pickup. I was wondering if I was missing something. I have that exact doc.
