    MyCalls Call Recorder MyCalls Call Recorder gives you the ability to record and playback trunk calls made on an SV8100 / SL Series PBX. The call recording software can record ISDN, SIP and analogue trunk calls. For ISDN calls, a recording unit is placed between the Network Termination Equipment (NTE) and the physical card in the PBX.

  • Page 4: Call Recording Licensing

    Call Recording Licensing MyCalls Call Recorder requires MyCalls Call Manager or above to work. The MyCalls licenses and the call recording license should be installed on the SV8100 / SL and read from the SV8100 / SL using the license manager. The license will have to be registered once it has been read from the SV8100 / SL, further details on licensing are available in the MyCalls installation manual.

  • Page 5: Background On Isdn Call Recorders

    Connecting an Analogue Call recorder The Analogue call recorder has a different power supply to the other call recording units, ensure that the correct power supply is attached to the analogue call recording box. The analogue call recorder wiring should be connected by tapping into the line and presenting the two wires to an RJ45 socket on the front of the call recording unit.

  • Page 10: Installing The Call Recording Software

    Installing the Call Recording Software The call recording software is referred to as the Sense Software or Call Recording software and is supplied with each call recording package. Before you can install the software, you will need to extract the software to the PC you intend on installing Sense onto. Begin the installation by double clicking the Call Recorder Main Installation icon.
  • Page 11 There are some prerequisites that have to be met before the installation can begin. If the Windows Installer 4.5 is installed during the installation then the PC may need to be restarted before you can continue. WinPcap is installed during the installation of the call recording software. This is a component of the SIP recording software.
  • Page 12 Complete the installation wizard for WinPcap and then the Sense installation will continue. At the collecting information screen, select Install Server and Client and click Next.
  • Page 13 On the next step of the installation wizard, there are two options to choose from, workgroup or domain. When live calls are being recorded, they are placed in a folder called the ‘tmp’ folder on the call recording server. Encryption can be enabled on this folder so that while calls are stored in the tmp folder, they are encrypted.
  • Page 14 Choose a folder where the Call recording software will be installed to and click next. At the next prompt you can select where the tmp folder is located.
  • Page 15 The Audio Storage folder can then be selected, this is the folder where the compressed and encrypted final audio files are stored. Typically the audio storage folder can take up large amounts of disk space so if a separate disk has been made available for storing the audio files on, it should be selected here.
  • Page 16 At the SQL Server Root Folder screen, choose which folder the back-end MyCalls database will be installed to. This folder is just where the Call Recording database sits, not where the audio files for the recorded calls are stored. Select the folder as required and click next. During the install, if an USB box is connected to the call recording server, the USB driver will be installed.
  • Page 17 At the Windows Security prompt, select install this driver software anyway. After the Call Recording Software has been installed, the call recording client has to be installed. The client is the application that is used by the call recording software to view recorded calls. Choose which folder the client should be installed to and click next.
  • Page 18 After the client installation has completed the ‘Options’ screen will be displayed. Click cancel to allow the installation to finish. The options can be configured at a later time. Click finish when the installation has completed.
  • Page 19 Now the installation has completed, calls will be recorded and stored in the call recording database. If the PRI / BRI / Analogue boxes are being used and the USB leads were connected to the call recorder before the software was installed then the USB drivers will have been installed automatically. To check that the devices are installed correctly, look in device manager and under USB_NEC Recorder make sure there is an entry for each unit that is connected.
