1. Introduction
1.1. Product Overview
CallRecorder is an easy to use VOIP call recording solution that implements the corporate call recording keeping policy and provides secure and easy access to call records.
It allows managers to review and score phone calls according to their work group. Users are empowered by providing them with accurate records of their calls.
CallRecorder is a self-contained software recorder which includes everything necessary to record VoIP calls
(besides the Operating System and server hardware): database, web server, Java, etc.
1.2. Features and Benefits
Automatically Record Phone Calls - Damage control and increased accountability in your personnel, suppliers and customers.
Manual (On-Demand) Control: recording can also be initiated by the user using the browser or IP Phone
Service. Both Full Call and Partial Call recording modes are supported.
Multiple Recording Methods: CallRecorder supports both port mirroring (SPAN) and forked recording
(SPANless). Hardware recording coming soon!
Monitor live calls: Listen to a call in progress, through the browser or IP phone service. You can also whisp
er
to the agent without being heard by the external party (IP phone service).
Browse Recordings by Agent - Superb browsing interface tracks agents across multiple phone numbers.
Search by caller ids, phone numbers, annotations, time, description, tags, etc.
Replay, Annotate and e-Mail phone call recordings. Easy, secure access to call recordings, using a web audio player, desktop audio player or IP Phone Service.
Tagging & Searching calls with customized hierarchical tags has never been easier.
Call Scoring & Custom Forms - Integrated agent scoring and reporting module
Agent Call Statistics Reports: the number of calls made, received, etc by each agent
Email Notifications: automatically send email when a predefined number appears in a call.
Backup & Restore: Archive calls on DVDs, HD-DVDs, BluRays or SANs. A single DVD can store up to
15,000 calls of 5 minutes each, due to the state-of-the-art voice compression technology incorporated in
CallRecorder.
Reverse Caller Lookup - Displays the caller name and business unit using the company Phone Directory.
Multi Site Replication: using queued replication, you can record many network partitions and centralize recordings at the HQ. Recording and replication survive a downed WAN link.
Screen Recording – Integration with Memolith Screen Recorder. See what was done on the screen while the phone call occurred.
Specialized Speech Compression lowers the storage requirements 8 times over MP3 and allows 18,000 hours of phone calls storage on one 120 GB hard drive.

2. Prerequisites
2.1. Hardware Requirements
Network
SPAN recording requires:
Managed network switch with port-mirroring capability (SPAN)
At least two network interface cards are required on the recording server, one for each monitored switch, and another for the site (a monitoring port can only receive packets). Using one interface card is possible, but the administration site will only be accessible from the physical console.
Forked recording requires:
One network interface card on the recording server, for administration site and recording
Cisco CallManager platforms newer than 5.0. For Cisco CallManager Express please use SPAN recording.
Selected Cisco phone models.
Server
Virtual Machines: VMs are supported in all recording modes for up to 50 simultaneous calls. Forked Recording mode works directly, while SPAN recording requires additional configuration to enable network cards to work in promiscuous mode.
CPU: any modern quad core CPU will support 500 simultaneous calls, the limits are in the RAM and disk IO subsystems.
RAM: 1 GB of RAM for the system + 1GB for each million call records stored in the database. For example, if you intend to store 2 million calls in the db, provision at least 3GB of RAM for the server.
Storage: audio compression rate of 1.7 KB/s means that each GB on the drive can keep about 160 hours of recordings (voice compression is 8 times better than MP3). That is, you can keep 96,000 calls of 10 minutes on one
100 GB HDD. One month of typical call center recordings (160,000 calls) takes about 55 GB.
Please use only redundant disks (RAID1 and above) for storing call recordings!
2.2. Software Requirements
Server Side
Operating System:
Any Windows Server. Desktop Windows OSes (Professional, XP, Vista, 7) can also be used, but TCP connection on these platforms are limited to 10 simultaneous sessions, limiting the number of users which can replay calls using the web site or a phone service.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended not to run any other server software on a production recording server! Call recording is essentially real-time. Failing to keep up with the traffic can result in lost calls. Other software can unpredictably use critical processor and memory resources which are necessary for packet capture. The application allocates computing resources according to priorities so an uncontrolled processing spike of another program may disrupt recording.
Client Side
Any operating system, with a browser running Adobe Flash 11.1 or later, ( for example Internet Explorer 6,
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 7
Firefox 3.0 and Opera 11.x ).
Software Optimizations
The Windows system cache is by default too large. Go to Control Pane / System / Advanced / Performance
Settings / Advanced:
set memory usage for best performance of Programs set processor scheduling for best performance of background services

Easiest Procedure
1. On the old server, shut down the CallReplay and CallReplayDb services and set their Startup Mode to
Disabled.
2. Copy or move the CallReplay Data Folder to the new server. The CallReplay Data Folder is configured once at installation time and contains the sub-folders Database, Calls, Licenses, Logs, etc.
3. Then run CallReplay Setup on the new server. When asked about the Data Folder to use, point it to the copied folder containing old data.
4. After setup completes, you should be able to see the old calls and play them.
5. Cleanup the old server. Do not start the old server again after the license was re-activated on new server.
Minimum Downtime Procedure
1. Install and configure CallReplay on the new server. Verify that recording works.
2. Copy or move the CallReplay Calls folder to the new server, into a new folder. Exclude from copying/moving the sub-folder of current day.
3. On the old server, shut down the CallReplay and CallReplayDb services and set their Startup Mode to
Disabled.
4. Copy/Move the Database folder to the new server, then copy/move the folder left un-copied at step 2.
5. On the new server, shut down the CallReplay and CallReplayDb services.
6. In the CallReplay Data Folder, move the Database and Calls folders to a backup folder.
7. Move in their place the Database and Calls folders copied at steps 2 and 4.
8. Start the CallReplay and CallReplayDb services.
9. Review recording configuration (it has the config from the old server) and verify functionality.
10. If necessary, Restore the Calls folder backed-up at step 6.
11. Cleanup the old server. Do not start the old server again after the license was re-activated on new server.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 16
4. Managing Licenses
Before the call recorder can be used you need to add a valid software license file.
If you need an evaluation license, please send an email at [email protected]
or check our contact page http://call
-replay.com/go/contact .
There are two kinds of license files:
.lix
is a generic license, not-activated or bound to any computer.
.bind
is an activated license file which only works on the computer where it was activated. Only production licenses need to be activated.
A license file may only be used on one computer at any given time.
Loading the same license file (that is, with the same license ID) on two servers at the same time is a violation of the usage agreement. Also a violation is using the license file after it has been revoked or superseded by a newer license file.
To add a new software license file, select System / Licenses from the menu then click the Upload button. The license fill will be automatically activated if necessary and stored in the DataFolder/Licenses directory.
If the licensing software cannot contact our web site for license verification, please open the Manual Activation link ( http://lix.call-replay.com/Lix/ManualActivation/ ) on a computer with Internet access and fill in the requested information.
4.1. Company Wide Recording (CWR) License
This licensing model is obsolete, do not configure it unless instructed by technical support. If you have a Company
Wide license type, ensure that application can contact CallManager to establish the number of registered phones.
You must supply a user name and a password in the “Company Wide Recording” tab, which is used for authentication with the CallManagers. This user must be the same on all the specified CallManagers. The password must be the same on all the specified CallManagers. You don't need to specify the password each time that you make an update in the configuration page, but only when you need to change the existing password.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 17
If the number of phones registered in your CallManager exceeds the number of registered phones in your licenses, the application service will not be started.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 18
5. Configuring Recording
Overview
CallReplay Call Recorder offers two methods for recording calls: Forked (SPANless) and SPAN recording. The modern, recommended, recording method is Forked Recording, because of its ease of installation.
For Cisco CallManager Express please use SPAN recording, and manually set the PBX type to Express, as auto-detection will not work.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 19
5.1 CallManagers (PBXs) Configuration
PBXs Configuration Page allows management of Cisco CallManagers, Mitel, IPTrade, NEC and other supported telephony controllers.
You can add a PBX by clicking on the Capture / CallManagers (PBXs) / Add PBX.
1.
Add all the IPs of CallManagers in a cluster
2.
Set its type to either Cisco CallManager, IPTrade, Mitel or SIP.
3.
Enter the PBX version.
4.
When using Cisco UCM > 5.0 you have the option to choose between passive and active (forked) call recording).
Observation: Cisco CallManager Express is a different type than Cisco CallManager.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 20
5.2 Forked Recording
Forked Recording
Forked Recording (SPANless Recording) is an active recording technology, available only on Cisco CallManager platforms newer than 5.0 and selected Cisco phone models.
Benefits of Forked Recording
Ease of use and management
Establish complex network architectures not depending on SPAN ports
Move or reconfigure complete departments with ease
Improve control over branch locations
Economical
Reduce OPEX with easier administration as no configuration of SPAN ports is necessary
Reduced CAPEX – need for fewer elements at the branches
Reliable and secure
Free-up resources for network monitoring
Increase reliability utilizing system resources better and more manageable
Security: Both authenticated and encrypted mode can never be recorded.
Geo redundancy available with high bandwidth utilization
Additionally
Internal calls recording = RSPAN, VLAN split to meet SPAN capacity
Cisco plans support for CUCM 8.x
Built-in support of recording notification tones
How does it work?
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) interface provides two recording modes:
Automatic recording recording all calls on line appearance. This method is invoked by CUCM.
Selective recording allowing users to record ad-hoc or also allows recording server to record based on business rules and events.
After calling-in and routing the call to an agent CUCM automatically sends two call setup messages to the Agent device. The 1st call is the agent stream and the 2nd call is customer stream. The Communications Manager invites the recorder to both calls via SIP Trunk and the recorder accepts both calls and receives RTP streams from Agent device.
Forked recording requires:
usage of the silent monitoring and recording interface of CUCM
CUCM version 6.0 and higher the usage of 3rd generation phones, as detailed here: http://developer.cisco.com/web/sip/wikidocs/-/wiki/Main/Unified+CM+Silent+Monitoring+Recording+Supporte d+Device+Matrix
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 21
Usage notes
Usage of a SPANless configuration will bring major benefits as long as the following requirements and notes are taken into account:
The expected increase of network traffic
For PSTN recording only GW span works as simple trunk recording
TAP switches are able to handle high traffic in large architectures with centralized GW
Only 3rd generation phones are supported
There is no support for active-active redundancy
Interruptions in recording may occur if a failure occurs during the call
If the WAN capacity is limited, redundant recording may be refused (due to automated network intelligence)
Further reading: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/UC6.0.1/features_apps/CMm onrec.html
Configuration Steps
In the Capture / PBXs page, the Forked Recording wizard button appears only when the PBX type is Cisco
CallManager, version is greater or equal than 5.0 and the Forked Recording Protocol is selected in the PBX options.
In this case other recording protocols should be disabled.
Click the button labeled Forked Recording to start the configuration wizard.
1. The following configuration wizard utility will be shown. Fill in the CUCM administrator user name and password.
Press
Connect
button.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 22
2. In the next page leave all the fields unchanged unless instructed by technical support. The Phone Service IP address must be routable from the phones' VLAN. Press
Continue
button.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 23
3. Here you must select the correct CallManager Group, Recorder Extension for CallReplay, the IP address of the
CallReply recorder ( also needs to be routable from a phone's IP address ), CSS and Device Pool for recorded phones, Security Profile, SIP port of Callreplay ( Syn-Apps' SA-Announce also uses a SIP trunk so make sure in that case to select another port, such as 5061 ) and the RTP port range used by CallReplay for receiving audio streams.
The recorder extension must have the same number of digits as recorded extensions . Press
Next
button.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 24
4. Here you have a list of a non-managed phones (left side) and the list of managed phones (right side). Select from the non-managed list the devices you want to be recorded and add them in the the managed phone list. When a managed phone has the
Record
check box selected it will be recorded. Otherwise the device will NOT be recorded even it is in managed phone list. Similarly for
Service
check box. When that check-box is selected, the phone will be subscribed to
CallReplay Phone Service
(see step 2), which will become available on the
Service
button (on the phone). Thus we can control recording and monitoring independently for each phone. You can filter the phones by any of the columns displayed, i.e. , or

5.2.1 Encrypted Recording
1.Pre-requisites
2.Install
3.Configure certificates
1.Pre-requisites
To be able to record encrypted calls there are the following pre-requisites:
- Call Manager set to Mixed Mode
- Each phone that is needed to have encrypted conversations to be set up with a Secure Profile
2.Install
The steps required for encrypted recording are almost identical with the steps required for normal forked recording.
Follow steps 1-2 from normal forked recording (
)
At step 3, to be able to record encrypted calls, we need a secure SIP trunk.
If this is the first time that you are configuring Encrypted Recording, you must choose "New Secure Trunk Profile" from the Security Profile list, otherwise choose "CallReplay Secure Trunk Profile":
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 30
We recommend that you choose 5061 as the SIP port as it is the default value for secure connections.
From this point on you can follow the normal forked recording manual (
).
Note: You can choose the Encrypted Recording Profile for both encrypted and unencrypted calls. The same profile and trunk can serve both protocols.
3. Certificate configuration
For security reasons,
Call Manager
sends data that involves secure calls only on a Secure Trunk.
Both
Call Manager
and
CallReplay
need to exchange certificate information in order to establish a secure connection.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 31
1.Importing Call Manager's Certificate on CallReplay
Log on to
Cisco Unified Operating System Administration
. From
Security -> Certificate Management
download the Certificate with Certificate Name: CallManager and .
Download and save the certificate to a known location. Import this certificate through the CallReplay's Web Wizard (
System->Certificates->Import Cisco Certificate
)
On the next dialogue choose the file downloaded earlier.
2. Exporting CallReplay's Certificate to Call Manager
1. Generate the certificate
If this is the first time that you configure CallReplay's certificate, you need to generate a new certificate.
From the CallReplay's Web Wizard (
System->Certificates
) press the button "
Change Certificate
". On the next dialogue choose "
Generate self-signed certificate
".
If the generation was successful, a new information will appear, containing various information about the new certificate.
2. Export certificate
Export the newly created certificate by clicking "
Export Certificate
" button. Save the certificate to a known location. This certificate will later need to be imported in Call Manager.
3. Import the certificate into Call Manager
Log on to
Cisco Unified Operating System Administration
. From
Security -> Certificate Management
cho ose "
Upload Certificate/Certificate Chain
".
In the next dialogue choose as and upload the file saved in
Step 2
.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 32
4. After all certificate operations are completed successfully
reset
"CallReplay SIP Trunk" ( in CallManager go to:
Device -> Trunk -> CallReplay SIP Trunk * and choose
Reset not Restart
)
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 33
5.3 SPAN Recording
Overview
SPAN Recording is a passive technology. It is working with all Cisco CallManagers and all kind of phones as long as they are SIP or SKINNY compatible.
The application service uses a network interface card functioning in promiscuous mode, in order to capture packets for the conversation recording. The host computer or the server need a network connection to voice traffic, through a non-switched hub or through a SPAN port on a switch. For more information about configuring a mirrored port on your switch, read the user manual of the switch.
You can also visit the following links:
Configuring the Catalyst Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) Feature: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/s witches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a008015c612.shtml
The application works by monitoring phone traffic. There are two types of phone traffic essential to recording: signaling (call control), from phones or voice gateway to CallManager audio streams (RTP), from phone to phone, or from phone to voice gateway
To be able to record calls, the application needs to intercept both types of traffic, call control and audio streams.
For more information about network sniffing please read the Wireshark FAQ: http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html
Virtual Environment
The difficulty in getting SPAN based/passive recording functional in a virtual environment is the SPAN itself. With the SPAN configured on a physical switch port, all communication will be directed to a physical NIC. This physical
NIC MUST be bound on the VM. Thereason behind this statement is because the most virtual NIC software cannot forward the SPAN information to the VM, so the physical NIC will be required to be bound to the VM. Because of this requirement installing application into a virtual environment may not be advisable. Allocating a physical device to a
VM only requires VT-D support in the host CPU.
Implementation Options
There are two main options in configuring network monitoring:
1. Record only external calls. This is the easiest. All you need to do is to have the CallManager and the voice gateway in the same switch and SPAN them to application recording port. If you have them in different switches you need two monitoring NICs in the recording application server, one for each switch. Make sure
you are mirroring all the CallManagers and voice gateways, including backup ones.
2. Record all calls, external and internal. For that you will need to have all the phones' traffic monitored to the application recording port. That is, monitor all switches with phones. Usually this is done by placing all the phones in a separate VLAN, and monitoring that VLAN. Using a VLAN also has the advantage of discarding the general (PC) network traffic, which can overload the monitoring interface in both the switch and in recording application.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 34
Because RTP traffic (green and red in the figure) travels directly between end points, without going through
CallManager, in a large enterprise with multiple switches only external calls (PSTN) can be recorded in a cost effective way (one recorder for each voice gateway).
To record internal calls also, one recorder per switch with IP phones is required.
Server Side Network configuration
Because monitoring ports cannot usually transmit traffic, for production setups the server you are using must have a minimum of two network cards for application to function properly. One of them will be used for general network traffic and accessing Application Web Administration Interface and the other for listening VOIP related traffic. The
NIC selected for website access should have a static IP address.
Important:
The monitoring NIC should not have a routable IP address, because network switches inhibit the transmission of packets from ports used as port mirroring destinations. If the OS routes packets through this port, all sent packets will be discarded. Remove the IP address of the monitoring NIC, or set it a non-routable address, such as 1.1.1.1.
We assume that you have already configured your network switches in order to mirror all VOIP traffic from VOIP
LAN to the monitoring NIC of CallReplay otherwise no calls will be recorded.
Open the
Capture / Network Interfaces
page, and choose which NIC is used for VOIP traffic and which one is used for web administration and general traffic.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 35
If you have configured port mirroring correctly, calls will start being recorded immediately. For CallManager
Express please see the PBX Configuration chapter.

5.5 Mitel SRC Recording
1. Overview:
The Secure Recording Connector (SRC) service is a software solution that facilitates the recording of Mitel encrypted voice streams by third-party call recording equipment (CRE). The Mitel Border Gateway (MBG) server with SRC service is positioned on the LAN between the ICP and the sets to be recorded. It accepts requests from an authorized CRE to establish taps in the voice stream. These taps are separate (mirrored) streams from the SRC to the CRE.
CallReplay offers a native solution for recording calls on Mitel PBXs for both direct and indirect call recording setups.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 38
There are several abbreviations that will be used throughout this manual:
SRC - Secure Recording Connector
MBG - Mitel Border Gateway
MCD - Mitel Communications Director
ICP - Integrated Communications Platform
2. Requirements:
1. Mitel SRC Licenses
SRC Licenses are a Mitel requirement and need to be acquired from your Mitel Partner. You need as many licenses as CallReplay Licenses.
When the licenses are installed, you should be able to see the number of Tap Licenses in MBG -> Status ->
Dashboard
.
3. SRC configuration and phones setup
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 39
1. For CallReplay to be able to receive audio streams, each phone that needs recording, has to be routed through the MBG (Mitel Border Gateway). This can be achieved in two ways: a. Register the phone to the MBG b. Set phone's Gateway to be the address of the MBG
2. In each MCD or ICP 3300 you need to allow
HCI Call Controll
and
Monitor
.
This can be achieved in the section System Properties -> System Feature Settings -> Class of Service
Options
.
Program this setting for the COSs (Class of Services) of the phone sets that need recording.
4. CallReplay Setup
1.
CallReplay Wizard
For CallReplay to be able to communicate with your PBX, it needs to know some information about your network set-up.
In PBXs menu, there are the following options that you need to set:
IP Addresses: The IP addresses of your
SRC
(usually the same IP as the
MBG
).
PBX Type: This should be set as Mitel MCD 3300
PBX Version: The version of your MCD or ICP (eg. 6.0)
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 40
2. Accept CallReplay Certificate in
MBG Certificate Management
:
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 41
CallReplay certificate should be in the Queued CSRs.
Note: It might be required that you restart the CallReplay Service
3. Set the phone sets that you want to record.
Switch back to CallReplay Wizard interface. In the PBXs menu, on the entry created in Step 1, click Active
Recording
, and choose the phones that you want to be recorded as shown in the following image:

7. Troubleshooting
7.1. Analyze Packets captured
By clicking
Capture / Troubleshooting
, you can see the amount of TCP or UDP Packets captured from and to an
IP Address.
7.2. Analyze the Network Configuration
Install Wireshark
Wireshark is a free, open source packet analyzer.
1. Download the latest version from http://wireshark.org/download
2. At installation, be sure to
not
select the "Install WinPcap" option (as it is already installed by CallRecorder) or the "Start WinPcap service "NPF" at startup" option.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 46
Capture a Call
1. Go to the
Capture
menu and select
Interfaces
2. In the interfaces window select the
same
network card you configured for monitoring in CallRecorder.
3. Press the
Capture
button
4. Start a call
5. Talk a few seconds. In the capture window you should see the number of udp and tcp packets growing. If not, you either configured SPAN incorrectly or captured on the wrong NIC.
6. Stop the call.
7. Stop the network capture.
Usually there should be about 100 udp packets per second, so if this number is much smaller, then your server may not be capturing the voice stream.
Verify Call Control
In the main
Wireshark
window, set the filter to: ip.addr == {TEST_PHONE_IP} && skinny.messageid == 0x8a
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 47
and press
Apply
.
The StartMediaTransmission and OpenReceiveChannelAck messages are critical for recording to work.
If you don't see any skinny packets after applying this filter, then your call control stream was not captured. To fix it, you should configure SPAN to your computer, in order to forward traffic from
CallManager
.
Verify the Voice Streams
In the main window, set the filter to: ip.addr == {TEST_PHONE_IP} && udp
and press Apply
If you don't see any RTP packets after applying this filter, then your voice stream was not captured. To fix it, you
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 48
should configure span to forward traffic from your phones to your computer.
If you are only interested in external calls, you should only forward traffic from your voice gateway to your computer.
7.3. GET Remote Technical Support
The recording application has a number of powerful support utilities included.
Team Viewer
for eg., is a screen sharing utility which allows us to assist you. It is a firewall friendly application.
1. In order to get RTS, you must contact us ( http://www.call-replay.com/Contact ) and let us know what problem you met. We recommend to reach us by instant messenger or email.
2.
Windows Start / Programs / CallRecorder / Support / Team Viewer
Send to technical support, by email or instant messenger, your ID and Password
Wait for the connection to be established. The program will not work if the support technician was not notified to open his side.
7.4. Sending Logs to Technical Support
To enable technical support to understand the cause of a problem, the recording application keeps extensive logs of all the actions it does. To send them to us:
From application menu Help / Send Logs
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 49
1. Describe the problem as detailed as possible, including the phone numbers and IP addresses with issues.
2. Fill in the problem date correctly, or the logs will not be copied from the correct period.

10. HQ / Branch Replication
This feature allows copying or moving calls to another computer for various purposes: safety, centralized management, high availability recording etc.
First, you need to configure the Headquarter (HQ) to accept incoming connections. For this, check 'Act as HQ
Controller', then enter a password for connection and hit 'Save' button. Please note down the 'HQ Address' value, you will need it to configure branches.
To configure one other computer as Branch, you need to go to the 'Branch' tab:
You can replicate calls to multiple Headquarters. First click 'Add HQ' then enter the Headquarter address and port
(the one you previously noted down). Also, enter the password you've set on headquarter computer.
After this, you will be asked if you want to replicate all existing calls or only the calls made from now on.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 59
If the connection is working, you should see on headquarter that a new entry has been added (after clicking
'Refresh') for the newly configured branch.
You may now configure the incoming replication type. Call information only can be used for centralized management. These calls can be played back only when the branch is running. If replication is done with audio files, you can playback them directly from the headquarter. In this case, you can also choose to delete the successfully replicated call from branch.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 60
11. Recording Policy
This is the place for you to describe which calls will be recorded and how to prioritize your licensed recording resources. It is accessible from the Capture / Recording Policy menu.
There are 2 licensing resource allocation types: Reserved Channels, Dynamic (Unnamed) Channels. Rules from each tab are evaluated in order and if a match is done the next rules are not evaluated.
Each licensing allocation type can be triggered automatically or manually (On-Demand).
11.1. Reserved Channels
Reserved channels tab contains the list of phones for which the recording will start automatically. Each such guaranteed recording resource will consume one licensing channel.
It is recommended that you add reserved phones by MAC address.
To disable recording of phones which are not in the reserved list, set Automatic Channels to 0 in the Dynamic
Channels page.
11.2. Dynamic Channels
Dynamic (Unnamed) Channels tab allows you to set the number of channels used for recording First Come First
Served recording channel allocation.

11.3. Advanced tab
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 62
12. Silence compression (Voice Activity Detection)
Accessible from Capture / Silence Compression menu entry.
Voice Activity Detection is used with IP Trade Turrets to trigger call recording based on the voice signal intensity. It can also be used with Radio Gateways and other analog-to-IP equipment with no call signalling.
VAD Sensitivity: the level of voice activation detection from which the signal is not considered silence.
The default value is Normal (40dB). Other values are Low (30 dB, noisy environment) and High (50 dB, Catch every breath).
Silence Compression: keep or not to-keep the silence within recordings
VAD separation interval: it is enabled when silence is removed within recordings. This is the length of the silence inserted between active signals.
Recording prolog duration: it means the length of the interval recorded before the moment of active signal.
Silence before stopping VAD calls: after specified value of silence the recorded call will be stopped.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 63
13. Storage Management
Recording Path Configuration
Storage Volume Page allows to set the folder where the calls are stored. You can add new folders by clicking Add
New Volume button. You can have multiple volumes that store calls on separate drives, which will be used in a round-robin order.
To move calls from one folder to another:
Edit the volume and change its path to the new destination path.
Move the files of the old volume to the new volume path using Windows Explorer.
Storage Quota - calls cannot exceed this value ( 0 means unlimited ).
Reserved Space - this is the reserved storage space for CallReplay; that is, when Used Space + Drive Free Space becomes lower than Reserved Space, a warning e-mail will be sent to the administrator.
Deleted - a deleted volume is not removed when it contains calls, will be just marked as deleted and no other calls will be stored on it. You can manually delete a volume without calls.
File Renaming
File Name Templates
Page
allows the administrator to change the template used to generate the file names for storing recorded calls.
The file names template is a string containing macros that expand to values related to the call like the call ID or caller number. The list of macro names that can be used is displayed in the "
Fields list
" table as can be seen in the image. Click on a macro name from the table to have the macro included at the end of the current file names template. You can also type any macro name from the table in the
File Name Template
field, surrounded by barces
{
The
Example
field (below the
File Name Template
field) shows how a file name would look like using the currently displayed template string. Also watch the
Example
field for errors like a worng macro name being typed in the template string.
A new file name template takes effect after the
Save
button is pressed, and the new template will be used for all calls recorded thereafter. To also apply the new template to all the old files, that is to rename all previous files using the new template, use the "
Rename existing files ?
" radio group and select the option "
On
". For this case, you can use the "
Call count
" field as an estimate of the number of calls that would have to be renamed with this option.
After saving a new template with the option to rename existing files, you can see the rename progress in the Call
count
field, in the format "remaning / total", like for example "120 / 550".
The "
Cancel
" button restores the current template string into the
File Name Template
field, and discards any
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 64
changes you might have typed in the input box.

Recording Encryption
Introduction
We value your privacy, so we introduced an OpenPGP public key encryption of recorded calls. The encrypted file conforms with OpenPGP standard (RFC 4880). The encryption is done using AES 256. The generated certificate is a 1024-bit RSA key OpenPGP.
Setting up call encryption
1. Configure CallReplay to encrypt calls.
a) Download Java security libraries required for encryption from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javas e/downloads/jce-7-download-432124.html
. Unzip the downloaded file and copy the two jars in the folder
Java\lib\security under Call Replay installation folder. For a standard installation this is: 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\CallReplay\System\Java\lib\security'.
b) Login as administrator on CallReplay and go to Storage > Recording Encryption. You can generate an
OpenPGP private/public key pair using 'Generate' button or use the 'Upload' button from the same page and select your OpenPGP public key file. If successful, you will see some of the details of the public key certificate.
For the purpose of call encryption, the certificate does not need to be signed. When you generate a certificate, after entering a name and a password, you will be prompted to save the private key to your computer. Make sure to save the private key in a known location and also to remember the password. You'll need them later for call decryption.
After generating a certificate select the 'Encrypt Calls' option. When selecting this option you'll be asked whether or not you want to encrypt existing calls. If you choose 'Yes' all existing calls with storage format WAV or SPX (Storage > Advanced > Recording Storage Format) will be automatically encrypted. If you choose 'No', old calls will be left as they are, but encryption will still be applied each time you choose to Play/Save one of them. This also applies for calls (either old or new) with storage format RTP.Configure computer for playing encrypted calls.
You can check if calls are encrypted in 'Call Details' > File Name. Encrypted calls will have the extension PGP.
Also in the same page you can view the encryption details in field: Encoding Format.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 66
2. Configure computer for playing encrypted calls
The only way to listen to your encrypted calls is to download them to a computer, decrypt and listen to them locally using your favourite WAV/SPX player. This process can be automated by doing the following steps: a) Download and install:
- GPG4Win ( http://www.gpg4win.org/download.html
)
- 7-Zip ( http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
)
- CallReplayPlayPGPSetup.exe from CallReplay site : Playback > Desktop Encryption Helper b) Import the private key saved at 1.b) to GPG4Win. c) Set the default player for audio files, appropriate for the format used to save the calls (Storage > Advanced >
Recording Storage Format). In case the Storage Format is SPX or RTP, then you'll need a SPX player. This can be downloaded from CallReplay site, Playback > Desktop SPX Player.
When you click on Play, you'll be asked if you want to Open or Save the file. If you choose Open, the encrypted file is downloaded to your computer and is automatically decrypted and played with the default player. The software will ask you for the password set at 1.b).
If you choose to save the file you can play it in the same way by double-click the PGP file. This will create a folder with the name composed by the name of the PGP file followed by the current time, that contains two files: the audio file itself and a text file in XML format with extension “call” where you may find informations related to the call (phone
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 67
numbers, IP address,...).
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 68
14. Retention Policy
To modify policy click on Storage / Retention Policy.
In this page you can modify policy rule. By Default, the rule records all calls and keeps calls until there is not enough free disk space.
Retention
Keep Until Backup – the call will be kept until the first backup.
Keep until space is required - The call will be kept until there is no more space on disk, then the oldest calls will be deleted to make space for new calls.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 69
15. Audit
Audit Page allows to see who listened a call or who emailed a call. You can filter by auditor or / and by phone number. This option is accessible through Recordings / Audit
15.1. Email Notifications (Recordings / Email Notifications)
This page allows to configure the rule for sending emails when a specific call occurs.
The application will send emails when call starts or ends for a specified caller and called according to rules defined.

20. Localization
Requirements
For creating a custom localization of CallRecorder you need at least version 7.1.10 of application installed using a full setup.
Creating/editing CallReplay localization
CallReplay CallRecoder has two major components who need to be translated separately. One component is recorder service and other is site administration.
First thing which must be done is to create a copy of entire
Translations
folder into CallReplay data folder.
Translat ions
folder can be found in installation path, usually c:\Program Files\CallReplay\System\Translations. Data folder is the folder where the database is kept, default value is C:\CallReplay.
Once we have new
Translations
folder we can start to create/edit translations. All customizations must be done in this new
Translations
folder otherwise will be lost after first running of CallReplay Software Update or after a full setup.
The tools used for translation are "
translate_site.cmd
" and "
translate_server.cmd
".
Create a new translation for CallRecorder site
Go to the new
Translations
folder created using indications from previous paragraph.
Duble-click on "
translate_site.cmd
" file. If this is the first time when the translation tool is used you must select a language for translation tool interface:
After language selection the main window of translation tools is shown:
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 86
Press the add language button:
Select desired language from the list:
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 87
The result is a new Language node:
Now select the new language and translate every key from the master file to the new language. Next picture show how to do translate "All rights are reserved" to Korean.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 88
The untranslated keys are shown with blue color. So it is easy to know which keys are translated and which not.
For saving the new language press "CTRL+S" which is a shortcut for File>Save option and a new file having name "
site_xx.properties"
will be created where
xx
is the language code.
Create a new localization for CallRecorder service
Go to new
Translations
folder and double-click on "
translate_server.cmd
". The same tool as for translating site will be shown excepting that the keys are for CallRecorder service.
Create a new localization for CallRecoder service following the same steps as for CallRecorder site. The name of the new translation will be "
server_xx.properties
" where
xx
is the language code.
Activate a new localization
A new localization becomes active after including in file "
locale.properties
" the line:
xx=Language
and restarting of CallRecorder service.
e.g.: ko=
Editing an existing localization for CallRecorder site and service
Run the translation tool ( "
translate_site.cmd
" for site and "
translate_server.cmd
" for service ), select the language and edit the keys accordingly. Save the changes ( CTRL+S or File > Save ).

CallReplay Cloud Server
Introduction
The Cloud Server is a feature of CallReplay which allows you to record calls and upload them on a properly configured CallReplay Cloud Server.
The Cloud Server can be used as a Replication HQ for other CallReplay servers or mobile recorders.
You can make use of this feature in two ways:
1. Uploading to the public CallReplay Cloud Server located at http://cloud.call-replay.com
;
2. Configure your own CallReplay Cloud Server - this way you have all features of CallReplay Call Recorder.
Supported mobile phones: Android 2.3.3 or higher; other operating systems may be supported in the future.
Configuring your own CallReplay Cloud Server
First of all, you should acquire a license for this. The license should contain how many tenants you need (i.e. cloud accounts) and how many phones and mobiles you want to record
and
upload calls.
Upload this license in your CallReplay installation using System -> Licensing.
Add Tenants
then go to System -> Tenants page. You can add your tenants here.
First enter the company name and fill the TLD field with your domain name / website if any.
You can assign a number of Replication Branches, if you want to make this tenant a Replication HQ. In this case,
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 91
you should allocate a number of channels to those branches and assign them individually from HQ/Branch Licensing
page. That is, if you want branches A, B and C to upload calls to this tenant, write 3 in 'Branch' edit box. Then, if you want A to have 5 channels, B and C have 10, write 25 in 'Channels' edit box, then later go to HQ/Branch
Licensing and assign each of them the corresponding channel number. Here you will introduce the total number of channels allocated to the group of branches associated with this tenant.
In 'Mobile Phones' you will write the total number of mobile phones that can upload calls to this tenant (cloud account).
'Storage Quota' - how much of storage space will be allocated to this tenant from the total storage pool. Older records will be deleted when the quota is reached. Enter 0 if you want to use global cleaning.
'Active' - use this checkbox to activate / deactivate the tenant.
'Validity' - if you want to automatically deactivate the tenant after a period of time.
After pressing 'OK' button, a new tenant will be generated and you can see it in the main list. There you can find the generated Tenant ID used for tenant identification.
Add Tenant Admin
You may create multiple user accounts for each tenant, at least one of them should have administrative rights. You can quickly create such an administrative account using 'Add Admin' button from 'Tenants' page.
A password will be randomly generated for the tenant administrator and it will be sent to the specified e-mail address.
Public Tenant Creation
This feature is available only on public CallReplay Cloud Server located at http://cloud.call-replay.com.
Anybody can create a trial tenant for itself. This trial tenant will expire after 1 month and its storage quota is limited to 200MB.
To convert a trial tenant to a permanent tentant, please contact sales or support.
Tenant Login
Upon creation of the its account, the administrator will receive an e-mail containing the login credentials. In order to access the Cloud Server, the administrator (and users created subsequently) must enter the Tenant ID along with the login name and password.
After login, you have access to all recorded and uploaded calls. You can playback them (if not encrypted), e-mail them and so on.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 92
Android Recorder
Introduction
CallReplay Recorder for Android allows you to record calls you make on your Android phones. Since the space available to store these recordings can be very limited, you can upload them on CallReplay Cloud Server.
For this, you need to have an account on a CallReplay Cloud Server. If you intend to use the public CallReplay
Cloud Server located at http://cloud.call-replay.com
please follow the next step.
If you want to use a custom installation of CallReplay Cloud Server, please skip to the 'Configuring phone to upload calls' section.
The minimum supported version is Android 2.3.3.
For the best experience with Cloud Server, you need a Flash enabled desktop/laptop/tablet browser. The cloud application is not optimized for mobile phone screens.
Note: in this manual, the terms 'tenant', 'tenant account', 'cloud account', 'organization' all refers to the cloud space created in CallReplay for your organization. 'Organization ID' is the generated ID of this cloud space. The terms
'administrator', 'administrative user' and 'administrative account' refers to the person who has the login credentials needed to manage your tenant account (received in the e-mail specified at tenant creation). The administrator could create more administrative users for the same tenant, and also more non-administrative users.
Creating a public Cloud Server tenant account
Using a Flash enabled browser, go to http://call-replay.com/go/register .
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 93
You need to enter at least a valid e-mail, your name and your company name. The trial account created this way is valid for 1 month and have 200 MB of disk space at your disposal.
You can use the same account for multiple phones, however, the trial account is valid for maximum 5 phones.
If you want to extend the validity of the account or change the available disk space or phone numbers, please contact sales or support ( see http://call-replay.com
).
You will receive an e-mail to the address provided, containing login credentials for administrative account
(administrator) of this tenant
Note: if you've wondered what is the 'Request Cloud Account' item from 'Upload Server' section of settings page, it has been added for people who do not read the manual. If we've shown the link in the Android Call Recorder, most people will tend to click it and expect to work on their mobile phone. Since it doesn't, and we do not want them to type the whole address, we send them an e-mail which they can read on another computer and click the link.
Creating a tenant account on a custom installation of CallReplay Cloud Server
Please see
.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 94
Configuring phone to upload calls
Upon registering a new tenant (cloud account), you will receive an e-mail containing credentials required to access the cloud server.
Please go to 'Settings' section and click on 'Upload Server'. You will see a page like this:
'Upload Server' - cloud.call-replay.com for public CallReplay Cloud Server, your server name / IP for custom installation of CallReplay.
'Organization ID' - this is your tenant account ID; it is named 'Organization ID' to avoid confusion with administrator
ID. A since you can upload calls from multiple phones on the same account.
'Password' - this is the upload password, not your administrator password. To can change this password, login to your tenant administrator account, and go to 'Headquarters / Branch Replication'. Here you can find the 'connection password' on 'Headquarters tab'.
'Use Wi-Fi' - to automatically upload calls whenever a Wi-Fi connection is available.
'Use mobile connections' - useful when a Wi-Fi connection is not available. The upload on the mobile connection can be slower and might be subject to additional fees from your mobile carrier.
'On roaming' - check this if you want to upload calls when you travel to other countries and want to upload calls.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 95
Warning: this can be costly.
'Test Upload' - click this to see if all is configured correctly.
'Delete after Upload' - check this if you want to automatically delete uploaded records from your phone - this way you make space to record other calls.
'Encryption certificate' - see
.
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 96
Call Encryption
Introduction
We value your privacy, so we introduced an OpenPGP public key encryption of recorded calls. If you do not have an
OpenPGP public / private key pair, you can generate them using a 3rd party software which you can find freely on
Internet (see notes on the bottom of the page).
Setting up call encryption
Login as administrator on CallReplay Cloud Server and go to 'Storage' / 'Recording Encryption'.
Click the 'Upload' button and select your OpenPGP public key file. If successful, you will see some of the details of the public key certificate. For the purpose of call encryption, the certificate does not need to be signed.
Upon the next connection of your mobile phones to your tenant, the certificate will be sent to all of them and all subsequent calls will be encrypted using this certificate.
You can change the certificate any time you want, and only subsequent calls will be encrypted with the new certificate, the older ones will remain as they were (unencrypted or encrypted with older certificates).
Notes:
1. Uploading only the public key gives you a great deal of privacy: in case of mobile phone theft, the calls could not be listened. The drawback is that neither you can listen to your calls on the mobile phone.
2. In case you've wondered if someone could listen to your calls uploaded to CallReplay Cloud Server, this way you can be sure nobody could. The drawback is the same: neither you can listen to your calls online.
The only way to listen to your encrypted calls is to download them to a computer, decrypt them with your PGP capable software of your choice. The software will ask you for the private key, will decrypt your files and you can listen to them using your favorite WAV/3GPP player.
Quick setup for call encryption
You can also generate an OpenPGP private/public key pair using 'Generate' button from the same page. After entering a name and a password, you will be prompted to save the private key to your computer.
The generated public key will be sent to your mobile phones and calls will be encrypted using it. However, the private key will not be kept on our server for security reasons, so you should take proper care of the saved key. If you lose it, your calls cannot be decrypted.
Mobile phone encryption configuration
For the encryption to work, after you generated or uploaded a public key on CallReplay Cloud Server, you need to connect your mobile to the server. Make sure you have Internet connection then either go to 'Status' page and click
'Upload Now'.
Then go to the 'Settings' page, 'Upload Server' section and you should see the new info on 'Encryption Certificate' item.
Note: in case you have used multiple certificates over time, for each encrypted call you will see the certificate details on the call details page; this way you can identify the private key required to decrypt the recorded call.
Notes
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 97
The encrypted file conforms with OpenPGP standard (RFC 4880). The encryption is done using AES 256.
The generated certificate is a 1024-bit RSA key OpenPGP.
If you do not have an OpenPGP certificate and prefer creating one yourself, you can use GPG4Win, which is a 3rd party OpenPGP compliant free software for Windows: http://www.gpg4win.org

moved background compression / replication errors to their corresponding queues compress some fields removed some unused fields end time -> duration
IOPS Optimizations
one-step transcoding process, without intermediate files compute file hash while recording removed .call files from storage buffered rewriting of wav header permanent transcoding process (not reloading it for every file and intermediate file)
.png file generated in memory while transcoding for playback from .rtp file
.png and audio files are generated in the same request from browser transcoding in separate process - via thrift
Integration API
Thrift over HTTP
Transcoding API over HTTP
JSON list of matching calls
Fixes
FIX: remote playback crossdomain issue
FIX: access password for audio files delivered directly from storage
FIX: create white .png file instead of empty file for zero-length audio tracks.

Interfacing with CallReplay
Direct Database Access
CallReplay uses an embedded Postgres 9.0 database. To connect to it you can use PgAdmin III (Start / Programs /
CallReplay / Support / PgAdmin III). It is also accesible from Java, C# and all programming languages which can access Postgres.
Port: Set during setup process, default 5432
User name: callreplay
Password: set during setup process, default CallReplay_2005
Automatic Login URL
http://SERVER:PORT/CallRecorder/?user=USER&password=PASSWORD&tenant=TENANT&lang=L
ANGUAGE
where SERVER is the call recorder ip/address, PORT is the configured server port ( see CallReplay Site
Configuration ), TENANT is the registered name of the tenant ( if not provided, the "default" tenant will be considered ), USER is the login name and PASSWORD is the password in clear text.
If you do not want to provide clear password, you may discard &password=, in that case CallReplay will ask you for password and use provided TENANT and USER.
Also, you can use the base URL with POST method, using the same keys and values as in normal URL:
http://SERVER:PORT/CallRecorder/Login
Call Details
http://SERVER:PORT/CallRecorder/?callDetails=CALL_UUID&user=USER&password=PASSWORD& tenant=TENANT
where call_uuid is the uuid of the call, found in Advanced tab of Call Details.
Example:
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 119
Sometimes you may want to show only the Call Details dialog, in this case use the following url (note 'nomenu'):
http://< server : port >/CallRecorder/?callDetails=< call uuid > &user=< user_name >&password=< clear_password >&tenant=< tenant_name >&nomenu
Observation: this is best used inside of an IFRAME
Example:
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 120
Call Playback
http://SERVER:PORT/CallRecorder/?player=CALL_UUID&user=USER&password=PASSWORD&ten ant=TENANT
Observation: this is best used inside of an IFRAME
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 121
File Storage URL
http://HOST:PORT/CallRecorder/Storage/STORAGE_VOLUME_ID/CALL_PATH
where STORAGE_VOLUME_ID is the volume index number in the table
storage_volumes
and CALL_PATH is the path to the required file relative to storage volume, which can be found in the
Call
detail dialog.
Example: http://localhost:8080/CallRecorder/Storage/1/2012/06/20/22/2012-06-20_22-07-47_81267_8666685394-1
.rtp
The storage web URL is protected by a password which is random by default but can be configured from the
Storage > Advanced > Player Access Password. The user name is "player".
Transcoding URL
Searches the call in the database, then transcode it to the desired output format, and send a redirect response to the temporary URL. If there is more than one call matching the query, the first one is used.
Parameters below are optional, that is searches can be made using any subset of parameters, so there is no longer any need to connect directly to the CallReplay database:
http://host:port/CallRecorder/Transcoder?callId=GUID&wireCallId=x
&beginTime=yyyy.mm.dd-hh.mm.ss&endTime=yyyy.mm.dd-hh.mm.ss
&callerIP=x&callerPort=x&callerMAC=x&callerNumber=x&callerName=x
&calledIP=x&calledPort=x&calledMAC=x&calledNumber=x&calledName=x
&format=x
Parameters:
Format: spx or wav - redirects to audio files; when multiple callIds were requested, their audio files are concatenated and the response redirects to the resulted file png - redirects to a .png image of audio file json - returns a list of details for all calls matching the query, in json format beginTime and endTime - calls will be searched for start time between these values (if provided).
pbxCallId is the SKINNY call ID or SIP call ID callId is the database call GUID; multiple callIds may be requested numbers and names are searched for text containing provided values
IPs, ports and MACs are searched for exact match
External Replication API
Downloads call details using HTTP requests. To use this feature, you must add a replication branch and configure it for Replication API.
http://HOST:PORT/CallRecorder/Replicator?lang=x&tenant=x&replicationQueueName=x& password=x &lastReplicati onId=x&deletePrevious=<true/false>
Parameters: tenant - the tenant id from which to download call details; can be omitted for default tenant replicationQueueName - must contain the exact branch name (case sensitive) lastReplicationId - the last confirmed replication id - first time should be 0, the subsequent invocations should
CallRecorder Administrator's Guide 122
contain the last received replication id in order to be deleted from the database and advance to next operation.
deletePrevious - whether to delete the row with lastReplicationId or not password - connection password set in the configured replication branch lang - one of the 2 char language identifier supported by CallReplay (see login dialog in administration site); used to display error messages; can be omitted for english
Response for new call:
http://HOST:PORT/CallRecorder/Replicator?
...& la stReplicationId=5
< CallRecording >
< ReplicationId >2 2</ ReplicationId >
< > Action >
< > CdrId >
< > b2ac8f</ CallRecordingId >
< > StartTime >
<DurationMS>13000</DurationMS>
</ CallRecording >
Response for deleted call:
http://HOST:PORT/CallRecorder/Replicator?
...& la stReplicationId=71
< CallRecording >
< ReplicationId >72 </ReplicationId>
< > Action >
< > bd6b6a</ CallRecordingId >
</ CallRecording >
Response when there are no more operations at this moment:
http://HOST:PORT/CallRecorder/Replicator?...&la stReplicationId=654
< CallRecording >
< > Action >
< > ReplicationId >
</ CallRecording >
In case of an error, status code 500 will be returned along with an error message (in the chosen language).
