I find that these situations are dependent upon who is in the control room or what the atmosphere is. I have worked with some people where talking is not a problem, provided the client starts the conversation. I have also worked with some people where its "Speak when you are spoken to, and don't continue the conversation." This means if the client asks, "How are you?" that you tell them how you are, and don't ask "And how are you?" I just take the "speak when spoken to" approach every time I am in the control room. This way no one can accuse me of making small talk with a client.
