Time zone Under PBX time zone. Used in email notifications, for the “last applied” time, and as the default time zone in objects such as Time conditions.
Supervision PIN code (optional) A 4-digit PIN supervisors must enter before listening to calls.
TLS encryption Click Enable to encrypt the connection between SIP devices and the PBX (TLS for signalling, SRTP for media), protecting calls from interception. Click Disable to switch back to TCP.

Supervision lets a supervisor listen to a user’s live call, whisper to the user without the caller hearing, or join the conversation. Turn on Allow this user to be supervised in each User you want to supervise, then set an optional PIN here.

While the user is on a call, dial *** followed by their internal number (for example ***1003) to start supervising. Then press:

  • 4: listen only (the default).
  • 5: whisper. The user hears you, but the other party doesn’t.
  • 6: barge in. Everyone hears you.
