Silent Monitor
Silent Monitor provides a supervisor with a means to listen in on agent calls in IPCC call centers that use CTI 
OS. Supervisors can send Silent Monitor requests to agent desktops without the agent being aware of any 
monitoring activity. Voice packets sent to and received by the monitored agent’s IP hard phone are captured 
from the network and sent to the supervisor desktop. At the supervisor desktop, these voice packets are 
decoded and played on the supervisor’s system sound card.
The necessary network topology is shown in 
Figure 3-2
Silent Monitor Network Topology
Agents in this topology may have an IP hard phone. (The supervisor in this topology must have an IP 
hardphone.) If the agent has an IP hard phone, it must have an agent desktop PC connected to the second 
IP port. If the agent has IP Communicator, it must be installed on the same machine as the agent desktop.
