Silent Coach
Silent Coach allows a user to intervene in another user’s active call and communicate with that user.
The initiator can speak to the specified user and listen to all other call participants. The specified user
is the only call participant that can hear the initiator. A Telephony Class of Service assigns Silent
Coach rights. Silent Coach can be initiated through various ShoreTel IP Phones.
To perform a Silent Coach from a ShoreTel programmable button, press the Silent Coach button.
If the button specifies a Silent Coach recipient, the system immediately initiates a Silent Coach
session with that user. Disregard the remaining steps.
If the button does not specify a Silent Coach recipient, enter the recipient’s name or number in the
Telephone User Interface.
To perform a Silent Coach from any system phone,
Enter the *22 code, followed by the number of the target extension.
ShoreTel phones display softkey options while a Silent Monitor option is active. The following figure
displays the ShoreTel 560 IP Phone User Interface for a user that initiated a Silent Coach session.
Softkey options available to the Silent Coach initiator:
SilMon

Barge:

Note
If you use the Silent Monitor and Barge In features often, you should have your system administrator
configure a custom key to provide one-button operation. See
Programming Your Custom Buttons
page 25 for more information.
