Installation steps

Installation Steps

Internet should be available on the machine where the application is being installed and connections on port 9242 should be allowed in the network firewall to carry out the installation steps.

All the commands start with a # indicating that root user privileges are required to execute these commands. Trailing # is not a part of the command.

There are two types of installation 1. EFCX and 2. Cisco (UCCX & UCCE). As for EFCX most of the steps are not required as Keycloak, JtapiConnector, Active Mq, Mixer are not required for EFCX.

Allow ports in the firewall

If there is an active firewall, allow the following ports.

CODE
443/tcp
444/tcp
8088/tcp
5060/tcp (only for Cisco)
16386-32768/udp (only for Cisco)

Installation Steps

  1. Please make sure that Solution Prerequisites are met for the desired deployment type. 

  2. Download the deployment script deployment.sh and place it in the user’s home or any desired directory. This script will:

    1. delete the recording-solution directory if it exists.

    2. clone the required files for deployment

  3. To execute the script, give it the execute permissions and execute it. This command will clone the skeleton project for the recording solution. the recording-solution directory contains all the required files for deployment.

    BASH
    $ chmod 755 deployment.sh
    $ ./deployment.sh
  4. Follow step 5 to 8 for deployment with Cisco UCCX or UCCE

  5. Follow this guide to install Recorder v1.10.10. The recording path should be /usr/local/freeswitch/cucmRecording

  6. Once recorder is installed successfully, go for the configuration.

  7. Follow this guide to create an application user on CUCM for jtapi-connector.

  3. Run the following command to ensure all the components are running. 

    CODE
    # docker ps

  5. Configure the SIP trunk to enable CUCM to send SIP events to VRS for call recordings. Two sip trunks should be configured in case of HA. (Not for EFCX)

*Nginx service is running on port 443 in case of UCCX or UCCE, and for EFCX it is running on port 444.
