you told it not to write them.

.ext
File extension f or audio f iles (should be
.cap)
P

Note:
FileNameFormat makes no assumptions about what the f ile should be, or where they should be
put. When updating the entry, one
should
:
Start with “%P/” to put the recordings at the system defined capture path.
End with “.cap”. The system expects completed but otherwise unprocessed capture files to end with .cap.
Ensure the generated name is unique.
All other aspects of FileNameFormat are completely mutable.
If the Media Server is to be used, FileNameFormat mus t contain a uniquely identif ying string f or each
channel. Either include the %C channel number substitution parameter or some other per-channel
FileNameFormat that may be used to identif y all recordings f or one channel. This unique identif ying
inf ormation must be put into the Media Server directory map. The def ault FileNameFormat and the
def ault Media Server directory map will work correctly without modif ication. This paragraph only applies
to custom file names; so long as “Line%C” appears in the custom file name, the default Media Server
setting will continue to work properly.

conf iguration f ile. This should be wrapped in quotations.
Server -
