The recording of encrypted conferences via an encrypted Recording Link is enabled in the

Conference Profile by:

• Selecting the Encryption option (Encrypt All or Encrypt when Possible) in the Advanced

tab.

For more details, see "Media Encryption (AVC Only)” on page 4-40.

• Setting the Recording options in the Recording tab. For more details, see "Enabling the

Recording in the Conference Profile” on page 14-5.

Managing the Recording Process

When a conference is started and recording is enabled in its Profile, the system will

automatically start the recording if the Start Recording parameter is set to immediately. If it is

set to Upon Request, the system waits for the chairperson or RMX user’s request. Once the

recording is initiated for a conference, the MCU connects to the recording device (RSS 2000)

using the default Recording Link. The connection that is created between the conference and

the recording device is represented as a special participant (Recording) whose name is the

Recording Link. Once the recording has started, the recording process can be stopped and

restarted from the Chairperson’s endpoint (using DTMF codes) or from the RMX Web Client.

After the recording process has finished, the recording can be identified in the RSS 2000 by

its RMX conference name.

A conference participant and the Recording Link cannot have identical names, otherwise the

recording process will fail.
