In this section:
Use the commands provided to start recording and stop recording of a specific call using the SIPREC protocol. The SIPREC protocol defines the interaction between a session recording client (SRC) and a session recording server (SRS), and controls the recording of media transmitted in the context of a communications session (CS) between multiple user agents.
A basic call, or CS, is established between SIP phone 1 and SIP phone 2 through the SBC. The SBC establishes a recording session for the CS, based on configuration, towards the SRS.
The SRC and SRS act as SIP user agents whereby the SRC provides additional information (called metadata) to the SRS recording session to describe the communication sessions, participants, and media streams to facilitate archival and retrieval of the recorded information.
For more information on SIPREC functionality and feature interaction, refer to SIPREC Support or Session Recording Support.
On the SBC main screen, navigate to All > Global > SIPrec
Click on the arrow to open a drop-down list of SIPREC commands you can use to start or stop recording of a specific call.
Select the Start Record command and click Select. A startRecord pop-up window opens.
Set the start recording parameters using the following table.
Make the required changes and click startRecord on the pop-up window to initiate the SIP-based session recording.
If the parameter Num of Streams is set to "1", and secondary SRS details are provided for the parameters Srs IP Address2, Srs Port2, and Trunk Group2, then the information about the secondary SRS information is used for redundancy if the primary SRS goes down.
The SBC supports executing the startRecord command twice: once for the ingress call-leg and once for the egress call-leg, to establish up to two streams in both directions simultaneously to achieve quad-recording.
Select the Stop Record command and click Select. A stopRecord pop-up window opens.
Set the stop recording parameters using the following table.
Make the required changes and click stopRecord on the pop-up window to stop the SIP-based session recording.
For the stopRecord command, if only the GCID value is provided, all recordings for that GCID are stopped at once.
