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.
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.
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.
