Configuring IP Trade for recording

This section provides information on configuring the IP Trade trading solution for recording. For the latest configuration guides and options, please contact IP Trade directly.

For the supported turrets and versions, see BT IP Trade

For the detailed information regarding the configuration of the Verba IP Trade Recorder service, see IP Trade Recorder settings.

System-wide configuration

Step 1 Login to the web-based “TSS Console” administration interface.

Step 2 Navigate to Device Management -> Zones -> System (or custom zone) -> Turret Boot Settings (Tab)

Step 3 Go to Recorder (on Left Button/Tabs) and on the Basic (Tab) check Recorder compatibility to “iptrade”.

Step 4 Move to the Expert (Tab) still under the Recorder settings and Enable Keep-Alive on all recorded turrets.

Step 5 Move to the Advanced Mode (Tab), and add the following key:

profile.setting.disablerecorder = false

Turret-based recording configuration

Step 1 Create a Shared Profile which will be attached to all of the recorded turrets (if there is an existing shared profile for recording it can be used for these settings but make sure it is assigned to all of the recorded turrets).

Step 2 In the Shared Profile (created above) apply the following settings:

Step 3 Select the Settings (Tab) and then the Recorder (Button/Tab on left) and go to Basic Mode (Tab) and set the Recording server address. (vrc://192.168.5.69:8000)

Step 4 Set Recording Mixing mode to separated.

Step 5 Set at least 1 or both Handsets to record. (There is additional help provided on the right side in the icon)

Step 6 Click on the Update button to save the changes.

TPO-based recording configuration

Step 1 Login to the web-based TSS administration interface.

Step 2 Navigate to the Device Management \ TPOs menu.

Step 3 Select the TPO from the list.

Step 4 Go to the Boot Settings tab (Basic Mode).

Step 5 Set the Recorder compatibility setting to iptrade.

Step 6 Provide the Verba Recording Server(s) in the Recorder Server setting in vrc://server_name:port format.

Step 7 Click on the Update button to save the changes.

The TPO should be added as a recorded extension in Verba, the Type of the extension has to be set to User/Agent ID. This extension should not be assigned to a user.

Playback on turret

The Verba Recording System does not require a separate IP Trade ReplayBox component to provide playback-on-turret functionality. The Agent needs the User permission Play Conversation in Verba for the playback functionality.

Step 1 Set Authorize Replay to true.

Step 2 Set the ReplayBox URL to http://192.168.5.69:8000 (Verba recorder IP)

Step 3 To see the Replay panel on the turrets, go to the shared profile's for all turrets and go to the Screen Layout tab and from there go to the Access Button Configuration and add the Recorder button to the menu.

Step 4 In Device Management -> Zones -> System (or custom zone), select the Turret Boot Settings (Tab) and then the Advanced Mode (Tab)

Step 5 Add the following key:

application.global.replay.mode = TCP

Step 6 Make sure to reboot all recorded turrets after the configuration changes.

Keep alive configuration

Configuring Redundancy

Step 1 In Step 7 of Turret-based recording or Step 6 of TPO-based recording, two recording servers should be provided:

- - For 2N recording: vrc://192.168.2.1:8000;vrc://192.168.2.2:8001
  - For N+1 recording: vrc://192.168.2.1:8000;vrc://192.168.2.2:8000

Step 2 Move to the Expert mode (Tab) still under the Recorder settings and select the Redundancy dual stream mode setting. Set to true for 2N or false for N+1 recording mode.

Step 3 Click on the Update button to save the changes.
