Tmedia units, running Toolpack software and the Gateway application, permit the recording of calls.

Calls are recorded as ".wav" files on the Tmedia unit's drive.

WARNING: For this reason, target recording is recommend for troubleshooting only and should be disabled when it is not needed. In addition, recording a large amount of calls simultaneously will have an impact on the system's performance.


Contents

Use cases

Target recording is useful in a variety of applications:

  • Voice/line quality control
  • FAX quality analysis
  • Lawful interception
  • Debugging
  • Test calls


Software requirements

  • Toolpack software version 2.6 or higher
  • tbstreamserver application configured to be running (it's not running by default)
  • Gateway application (standard with Toolpack unless explicitly replaced by custom call handling application)


Hardware requirements

  • Tmedia unit with IVR DSP resources
  • Starting with version 2.8.101, Tmedia unit with IVR DSP resources or VoIP DSP resources with playing/recording licenses

Recording modes

Recording calls can be achieved using 1 of 2 methods:

Web Portal

This mode should be used for troubleshooting only.

It is easy to use but not flexible.

This mode is limited to record based on the following parameters:

  • Recorded files options:
    • Record each leg of a call into it's own file
    • Record an audio mix of both legs of a call to a single file (only available with Toolpack 2.7 and up only)
  • Available filtering parameters:
    • By calling number
    • By called number
    • By incoming NAP
    • By outgoing NAP


Routing script

This mode can insert recording into any existing routing script.

It is extremely flexible but requires users to modify their routing scripts.

  • Recorded files options:
    • Record each leg of a call into it's own file
    • Record an audio mix of both legs of a call to a single file (only available with Toolpack 2.7 and up only)
  • Available filtering parameters:
    • Any call parameters
    • Any route parameters
    • Any routing scripts parameters


Configuration

Configuration (and Accessing the recorded calls)
