System Setup

Recording of conferences is performed over a PSTN/ISDN or an IP (H.323) connection established between the conferencing MCU and the ReadiRecorder.

Conferences are recorded by the ReadiRecorder over a dial-out connection from the conference to the recording system. This connection is called Recording Link. Recording Links are defined on the conferencing MCU, in the MGC Manager application.

To connect conferences to the recording system, the Recording Link uses the dialing number which was defined in the ReadiRecorder’s Recording Service. To access the stored recordings of conferences, the end-user dials the number which was defined in the ReadiRecorder’s Playback Service.
