Active connections
An active connection refers to any call into or out of the IP VCR (whether to watch or make a recording), or a web
streaming session. The following information is displayed for each connection:
Field Field description Usage tips
Name The name of the recording being made or played
back. Click on the name to display the connection
status page, which shows more detailed connection
information (see Viewing connection status).
Alternatively this field may display a special
purpose name, for example Auto attendant if the
auto attendant is in use and a recording has not yet
been selected for playback.
Description A brief description of the type of connection, for
example Streaming playback, Recording or Auto
attendant.
Sort the list by this field to group all active
recordings for easy reference.
Status A more detailed indication of the connection
progress.
A recording session may indicate that recording has
yet to start, while a playback session may show how
far through the recording playback has reached, as
well as the total recording length. If relevant the
number of streaming viewers is shown.
Start time The time when the connection was created. A connection is created for each call into or out of
the IP VCR.
Preview Displays a sample still video capture of either the
playback or recording, if available.
For recording sessions, the video media being
recorded is previewed; for H.323 playback, the
video media being played back is previewed.
A preview may not be available for all connections,
for example when web streaming or if HD video
capture mode (see Configuring recording settings) is
on.
