When MUX is NONE, there will only be one RTP queue all packets to go. If MUX 
is DIR (one RTP queue will be for incoming packets and one for outgoing packets 
(relative to the IP address configured for the channel). If MUX is Port or IP_Port, 
queue assignments are made per port. 

The Refresh button, as expected, refreshes the data displayed to be current. 

Advanced Local VoIP Recorder configuration 

The following information describes low level configuration of the built-in 
recorder based VoIP/RTP configuration, which is used for recording RoIP, NG9-
1-1 “SIP Invite”, and IP Dispatch Consoles. 

NOTE: VoIP station recording for most VoIP phone systems requires the 
Eventide VoIP Gateway.

 (

Please see the Eventide VoIP Recording Section 

below). 

Edit Board 

The board level parameters are accessible by clicking on the board name in the 
Boards and Channels NexLog Configuration Manager page. The board is named 
"Local IP Recording." On that page the board can be configured to capture RTP 
traffic in different ways. 

The UDP section is for configuring the virtual board to capture UDP packets 
addressed directly to the NexLog recorder's IP address. For more information on 
capture methods, see 

Section: 1.2.7. Basic Methods for Capturing VoIP/RTP 

Traffic

The PCAP section is for configuring Promiscuous Mode Packet Capture. This 
capture method allows the recorder to capture traffic not addressed to its IP 
address. For more information on capture methods, see 

Section: 1.2.7. Basic 

Methods for Capturing VoIP/RTP Traffic
