Note that there are rules and regulations regarding recording of calls established by various entitiies such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Council (PCI DSS) but can also be set on a country, state, local, or even corporate level. Given the variability that this introduces, E-MetroTel advises researching your requirements before configuring your UCX recording settings.
This functionality is not supported on the Galaxy Mini hardware platform.
Overview
Call Recording provides the ability to force a call to be recorded or not recorded based on a call flow and override all other recording settings. If a call is to be recorded, it can start immediately. This will incorporate any announcements, hold music, etc. prior to being answered. It can also have the recording start at the time that the call is answered. Call recording can force a call to be recorded prior to going to a specific destination that does not allow call recordings to be set, such as ring groups, IVR etc.
To access the Call Recording page, perform the following steps:
- From the PBX tab, select PBX Configuration
- From the left side column, select Call Recording
Usage
In our example, we want to record calls going to the ring group for the support team. Instead of enabling call recording for each individual extension of the ring group, we create a call recording instance prior to going to the ring group.
To create a call recording, perform the following steps:
- Enter a Description for the call recording, e.g. Support Group Recording
- Select the Call Recording Mode that you want for the call flowCall Recording ModeBehavior
