Barge In
Barge-in is the process of breaking into a conversation. To barge into your own voice mail extension, for
example, while someone is leaving you voice mail:
1. Pick up any phone or otherwise get an inside line dial tone.
2. Enter the Barge-in sequence .
3. Enter the number of your voice mail extension.
4. If prompted, enter your password
1
, or a password with administrator privileges.
5. If your password is accepted, you will be connected to the person currently leaving you a message.
Note If your phone is still ringing, you can usually pick up the call from any other telephone in the building
by picking up a phone and entering the Pick Up Ring Group 0 sequence
.
If your system administrator has given your account Barge-in/Listen-in permissions, you can also use the
sequence described above to barge into other people’s conversations while they are on the phone. Check
with your system administrator to see if you have barge-in permission. You do not need Barge-in/Listen-in
permission to barge-in to voice mail in progress in your own voice mail boxes.
Barge-in and Listen-in can be blocked on a line by the system administrator, by setting the line as a Secure
Line.
Note When you barge into an existing conversation, the party at the extension number you barged into will
hear three short beeps, indicating that someone is barging into his or her call.
WARNING: Barge-in permissions also allow Listen-in. Listening-in to a conversation without the consent of one or
both parties may be a violation of local, state, and federal privacy laws. It is the responsibility of the user of the NexPath
Telephony Server, when using features of the system, to assure that they are in compliance with all applicable laws.
1. You will not be asked for a password if you entered it to enable some other command and have not hung up since then.
