More about Contact Recorder for IP Office

The IP Office Preferred Edition Messaging “Voicemail Pro” application can manually or automatically record calls.

Voicemail Pro places those recordings into a user or group’s mailbox alongside normal voicemail messages.

Users can start manual call recording in a number of ways; programmable button, short code, one-X Portal for IP Office.

Automatic call recording is configured on the IP Office system and applied to specific users, hunt groups, incoming call routes or account codes.

Contact Recorder for IP Office enhances call recording by transferring recordings to a separate archive from the normal mailboxes. Those recordings are then outside the control of voicemail housekeeping and do not impact on the space needed for voicemail messages.

Contact Recorder for IP Office maintains a database of the call details associated with each recording it stores. Using a web browser, users can search the database and from the search results playback recordings.

The Contact Recorder for IP Office is supported in the following configurations:

For IP500 V2 systems, Contact Recorder for IP Office is supported on an IP Office Application Server. That includes IP500 V2 systems running a Unified Communications Module.

Contact Recorder for IP Office is supported on the same server as Voicemail Pro if an additional hard drive is installed for Contact Recorder for IP Office use.

For Server Edition systems, Contact Recorder for IP Office is supported on the Server Edition Primary Server if an additional hard drive is installed for Contact Recorder for IP Office use. Otherwise it is supported on a separate IP Office Application Server.

Contact Recorder for IP Office is NOT PCI Compliance

It is important to note that since Avaya is not a payment processor and since Contact Recorder for IP Office is not a payment processing application; neither Avaya nor Avaya Contact Recorder for IP Office can be certified as PCI compliant or PA-DSS compliant.

Pre-Requisisites

You must meet the following conditions before attempting to install Contact Recorder for IP Office.

  • Do not configure Contact Recorder for IP Office until after normal voicemail mailbox operation of the Voicemail Pro application has been tested and validated. The Voicemail Pro performs the call recording for Contact Recorder for IP Office and so is an essential pre-requisite.
  • The license requirements depend on the operating mode of the IP Office systems:

For Server Edition, the primary server needs a VMPro Recordings Administrators license.

For IP Office Release 9.0, this is the only server in the Server Edition network that requires a license.

For non-Server Edition systems, each IP Office system requires a VMPro Recordings Administrators license.

  • The Contact Recorder for IP Office application must use a separate disk partition for file storage from that used by Voicemail Pro. This requires either the adding of an additional hard disk to the server or use of two separate servers.

ALWAYS use an Authorized Agent to Purchase Carrier Services

ALWAYS use an Authorized Agent to Purchase Carrier Services

NEVER Order Services Direct from A Carrier/Service Provider

An Authorized Agent is your “UNBIASED” & “OBJECTIVE” Single Point of Contact for Carrier/Telco Related Services.

Here are a few reasons to use An Authorized Agent to order your Telephone Lines/Dial-Tone, Internet Access, Private Networking; ie; MPLS, Point to Point T1, etc.

An Authorized Agent acts as your advocate: Carrier Direct Sales Reps don’t always act in “your” best interests. They are compensated by the amount you spend and continue to spend with their company. Authorized Agents evaluate services from multiple carriers and look for ways to save you money.

An Authorized Agent has experience with multiple providers: Maybe there’s a carrier that’s offering attractive pricing, but you’re unsure about their service. Most likely an agent will already have experience with the lesser known carrier, already has clients using their service, and will be able to provide recommendations.

An Authorized Agent will provide you with independent information:A carrier direct rep is not going to point out any shortcomings in their services/offering or how another carrier may be a better value for a particular service. Authorized Agents represent multiple carriers/providers and are more likely to disclose information in an unbiased & objective manner. An Authorized Agent will match the appropriate services and carrier/service provider for your needs.

With An Authorized Agent, you get more but you don’t pay more: You’re going to pay the same monthly rate whether you order your services through a biased single-option direct carrier representative, or by placing your order through an unbiased & objective authorized agent.  Typically, working with an authorized agent, you will be working with someone who has a lot more experience with both carrier services and hardware.

An Authorized Agent can save you time and free up your staff: Instead of having your staff members meet with multiple reps from multiple carriers/service providers, have your staff work with one unbiased & objective authorized agent that represents multiple providers. An Authorized Agent can identify your existing services, perform audits, analyze the data, and provide informed, unbiased recommendations. Authorized Agents know what questions to ask and what to look for.
