CyRecord Configuration

2.1 CyRecord Overview 

 NOTE

CyTrack advises that there is legislation operating in various jurisdictions internationally which governs the installation and use of listening devices particularly as they relate to the recording of private conversations. Clients should obtain their own legal advice in relation to this legislation and whether it applies in the State or Territory in which they operate. 

...

CyRecord can be installed in a VM. Hyper-V and VMWare are supported. CyRecord O Series requires Windows OS. If you use Physical trunks (see below) you need to ensure the Host server supports pass-through for the physical device connections into the VM. CyRecord V Series runs in Linux

2.2 CyRecord Physical Configuration 

For call recording with physical trunk lines, you will use CyRecord O series with a recording device. Depending on the type of trunk, you will use a USB or PCIe device, or both. You must ensure you have sufficient expansion capacity in your server, or sufficient USB ports. See below for a list of devices and the physical trunks supported. 

...

If you choose to use a USB style adapter for the second NIC, we recommend you use the existing fixed ethernet port for the SIP mirror port and the USB adapter for the normal network. If the USB adapter goes offline for some reason, CyRecord will continue to record calls in the meantime until you are alerted to the server being uncontactable (refer to CyPulse documentation). However, if you use the USB adapter for the SIP mirror traffic and this adapter fails, you will lose all call recording capability

2.3 CyRecord Devices 

Devices and trunks that will be used by CyCX and CyRecord need to be registered for CyRecord to work correctly. 

...

However, you can produce an “Itemised Listed, Showing Trunks and all parties” report in CyReport Client, and it will show trunks that calls have been received on even if not listed in your Devices list. In the report below, it was group by Trunk for more convenient analysis. 

 

...

2.4 CyRecord Profiles 

This tab provides additional configuration to complete the CyRecord configuration and should be done prior to configuring the CyRecord server details (see below). Devices that need to be recorded are registered in this tab. Recording profiles for agents are also created in this tab (see below). 

...

If an Agent can Pause/Stop and Start/Restart their recordings, then stopping a recording works by inserting silence rather than stopping the recording itself. This is for compliance purposes, so that the length of the recording can be reported correctly and matches the length of the call

CyRecord V Series 

4.1 V Series Overview 

CyRecord V Series is a Linux based call recording appliance. V Series is targeted for more enterprise level customers as it has a deeper level of configuration and also for those customers that prefer a Linux/OS call recorder solution. 

...

CyRecord V Series is SIP only recording. We do not support physical trunks with this series. 

Image RemovedImage Added

V Series can be installed in a VM, and often is. CyTrack support Hyper-V and VMWare as virtualisation platforms. See below for installation details for the Call Recorder component. 

...

Once installed, CyDesk Manager must be configured to integrate with the V Series call recorder. 

4.2 Installing V Series Call Recorder 

Before installing the Call Recorder, check your system meets the minimum recommended requirements. Other settings or configurations may work. 

...

  1. Obtain the Install files ISO https://support.cytrack.com/hc/en-us/articles/333757060776-Software-Downloads-Updates  

  2. Burn the ISO to a CD/DVD If installing to a VM environment you may be able to skip this step and set the boot ISO image to the ISO file. 

  3. If you will use Hardware Raid, configure this prior to installing V Series 

  4. Set the Host Server boot priority to: CD/DVD, Primary HDD, others… 

  5. Insert the APRESA installation CD into the APRESA and restart the system. The installation process should start automatically. On successful boot you should see the Installation type screen.

  1. Choose the Installation type.

...

  1. The Installer will proceed to detect and install components 

  2. When asked, confirm the Partitioning of the disk

...

...

If you are prompted if you want to “Force EUFI”, choose NO

...

11. On restart, you will see a Linux login screen. It will show the current IP address of the Call Recorder. The initial default IP address is 192.168.55.55 You will most likely need to change this. There are two options: - Change your IP (or add a secondary IP) to your workstation so that it is in the same network, then open your browser to http://192.168.55.55/; or - Login with username ‘vidi’ and password ‘brsRmbf’ then enter the command ‘web’ 

...

...

12. Login to the Call Recorder with username ‘admin’ and password ‘admin’

Creating Recording Profiles in CyRecord

...

A new CyRecord agent profile can be added by clicking on the ‘Add’ button, and an existing one can be deleted by clicking on the ‘red bin’ icon. You cannot add more devices for recording than the number of recording devices mentioned in the CyDesk license.

Image Added

Name – the name of the CyRecord agent profile.

Override Local Settings – When enabled, the local CyRecord Options in CyDesk will be overridden by the settings in this profile.

Auto Record – Enable this so call recording can automatically start at the following interval:

  • Every Call

  • Every 2nd Call

  • Every 3rd Call

  • Every 4th Call

  • Random

Hide ‘No Device’ Warning – Disables the warning when agent is set with CyRecord profile however the device monitored by CyDesk is not a device registered for recording.

Option to Discard – Prompts agent to either keep or delete the call recording.

Recordings Folder – The location where call recording files will be stored

Folder Name

Agent Name – Creates a sub-folder in the recording path with the agent name.

Queue Name – Creates a sub-folder in the recording path with the queue name to store recording of calls related to a queue.

Campaign Name - Creates a sub-folder in the recording path with the campaign name to store recording of calls related to a campaign.

File Name

Agent Name – Includes the CyDesk agent name in the recording filename.

Phone Number – Includes the dialed / caller number in the recording filename, if present.

Contact ID – When agent is integrated to a database or CRM application, and contact is found, it will includes the contact identification in the recording filename.
