Recording with MCU Version 7.05
In a configuration involving MCU v.6.11 or later and MGC Manager v.6 or
later, you can record conferences with Readi
Recorder , using the following
procedure.
Even without the special Recording port or Link available in MGC version
7.0 and 7.1, you can set up recording in MGC version 6 or later for a
conference by means of a special participant that acts as the recording port.
This participant is then included in a conference to be recorded, and once it
connects to the Readi
Recorder , the recording starts.
This type of definition is set in the Participant Properties dialog box where
the link is defined as a dial-up participant for an IP or an ISDN connection.
To enable recording:
1. When defining a new On Going conference or reservation, click the
Participants tab.
The Conference Properties - Participants dialog box opens.
2. Click the New button to define a new participant.
