SIPRecord 1.7.0.21: add extension for recording with Alcatel

[Belinda Frick]

STEPS:

1. Check if enough licenses to add extensions for recording.
   
   Add recorded extensions to AMETHYST Devices List.
   
   Checking and modifying Amethyst licenses
   
   
2. Update Configure Virtual Extension with the User names and Extensions.
   
   How do I setup Virtual extension in AMETHYST ?
   
   
3. The ini files must be updated and then the recordings software restarted to apply.
   NOTE: This must be scheduled outside recording hours as it will cut recordings and not start recording until software started up and stations loaded for recording.
   
   SUGGESTION:
   First prepare the ini files.
   Organize restart time and then replace the ini once software stopped.
   
   
   • Confirm siprecord.ini:
     
     

     1. Code: Select all

        [OPTIONS]
RECORDALLEXT=1
RECORDALLIP=1
PERMANENTSTATIONS=1

        
        
        NOTE: Where is my changes to the Stations.ini file?
        
        
     2. Recording solution (PABX):
        

        Code: Select all

        [ALCATEL]
ENABLED=1

        
        
     3. All extensions to be configured must be listed under:
        [EXTENSIONS]
        
        For example:
        

        Code: Select all

        [EXTENSIONS]

     2. All user names must be updated under :
        [STATIONS]
        
        For example:
        [STATIONS]
        

        Code: Select all

        0=10.51.241.222|12904|Princess Thwala

4. Update recording software with prepared ini files:
   
   
   • Disable the checksip scrip in the crontab:
     
     crontab -e

     Place # infront to comment out:
     

     Code: Select all

     #Checksip
#* * * * * /usr/local/bin/checksip.sh

     
     
   • Run the stop SIPRecord script:
     ./stopsiprecord
     
     
   • Update the 2 ini files:
     siprecord.ini
     stations.ini
     
     
   • Remove the '#' from the crontab
     
     
   • checksip will then startup the SIPRecord again - monitor with tail -f siprecord

Additional Steps To Add Extensions For Recording.
After verifying available licences.

1. Make a backup of the live siprecord.ini file before making changes, whilst in the siprecord directory


Code: Select all

root@micloud:~# cd /opt/datatex/siprecord


2. Copy siprecord.ini to siprecord.new


Code: Select all

root@micloud:/opt/datatex/siprecord# cp siprecord.ini siprecord.new


3. Edit the newly copied siprecord.new 'EXTENSIONS' section with the new extensions to be recorded.


Code: Select all

root@micloud:/opt/datatex/siprecord# vi siprecord.new
[EXTENSIONS]
+27118443200=
+27874054641=
+27874054642=
+27874054643=


Write & Quit to save the changes made
4. Recload the siprecorder either by running reloadsip.sh or telnet to 127.0.0.1 27007, and reload.


Code: Select all

root@micloud:/opt/datatex/siprecord# telnet 127.0.0.1 27007

Update: THE BELOW RELOAD PROCEDURE DOES NOT RELOAD THE STATIONS.INI FILE.
Reload will load changes made in the siprecord.ini
With Alcatel setup, the siprecorder will need to be restarted as well.
