Setting up Recording for Conferences

This description of how to set up the recording functions for conferences explains only the procedures relevant to the ReadiRecorder. For the in-depth description of the entire conference setup procedure, refer to MGC Manager User’s Guide Volume I, Chapter 4.

Conference definition is performed in the conferencing MCU, using the MGC Manager. Recording definition is identical for all types of conferences. It is also the same for unified (audio and video) and for audio-only conferences.

To make recording possible, you must set up the following components on the conferencing MCU:

•Recording Link – define the connection between the conference

and the ReadiRecorder. For details, see “Defining a Recording Link” on page 8-7.

•Recording-enabled IVR Service – the recording DTMF codes and messages must be set in the IVR Service to enable recording by the conference chairperson and to play the voice messages indicating the recording status. For details, see “Defining Recording Functions in IVR Service” on page 8-11.

•Configure the relevant system.cfg flags. For more information about configuring the system.cfg files, see “Modifying System.cfg” on page 8- 22.

Since only IVR-enabled conferences can be recorded, when defining a new

On Going Conference or Reservation, you must include a recording-enabled IVR Service.

Defining a Recording Link

A Recording Link is the connection between the conferencing MCU and the ReadiRecorder. You can configure different Recording Links for specific connection types (ISDN or IP) and then use them repeatedly to record conferences.

You need the following information to complete the link definition:

•Network Service – the Prefix of the IP Network Service defined for the ReadiRecorder, see the ReadiRecorder Getting Started Guide, “Configuring Network Services”, page 3-18.
