Polycom ReadiRecorder User manual

Polycom Readi Recorder is a conference recording solution that works in conjunction with a Polycom MCU to
enable the recording of audio conferences (or the audio stream of a video conference) that take place over
PSTN and IP networks. A low-cost, easy-to-deploy solution, Readi
Recorder eliminates the need to integrate
third-party solutions for conference recording.
Easy to use
ReadiRecorder is tightly integrated with Polycom MCUs. Authorized users can access a system over the
phone and start, stop, or pause a recording through simple DTMF commands. Conference setup and recording
controls are also available for operators and end users through WebCommander™.
Easy to deploy and manage
To simplify system administration, the MCU configuration and management for conference recording is
accomplished through MGC™ Manager. In addition, a Web-based interface enables system administrators
to manage user accounts, while they define backup policies and offload old data to an external server. The
system supports 48 simultaneous record and playback sessions in any combination.
Distribute recorded conferences over the Web
Readi
Recorder 's Web interface provides a portal to easily distribute recordings over the Internet. Conference
recordings are stored in .WAV format. Authorized users can download conference recordings over the Web,
then replay them via a desktop media player.
Security
System administrators can set up accounts and security privileges via a Web interface. Users accessing
conference recordings over the Web are required to provide login information. The ReadiRecorder site
supports SSL encryption. Users accessing over the phone are required to provide Session ID information.
Customization
Configure the Readi
Recorder system to work with internal or external SQL databases. Optionally, the system
can be customized to work with an external directory service such as LDAP or Active Directory to simplify
user account management.
