Solution Prerequisites
The following are the prerequisites for setting up Voice recording solution under different deployment profiles.

Port Utilisation
The local security policy and firewall should allow open communication on the following ports.
Type | Source Host | Port | Destination | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
HTTPS | voice-recording-solution | 443 | any | To access VRS front-end |
TCP | Cisco Call Manager | 5060 | VRS Recorder 1 and Recorder 2 | To allow SIP traffic to VRS recorders |
UDP | Cisco | 16386-32768 | VRS Recorder 1 and Recorder 2 | To allow rtp packets to VRS recorders for audio recording |
TCP | VRS recorders and Replay server (in case of HA) | 1433 (or the custom SQL server port) | SQL Server cluster | To allow database connectivity |
Required CUCM Configurations
The following configurations are required to configure CUCM with the Voice Recording solution.
Create a Recording Profile and associate it with your Recording Destination Address.
Create your SIP Profile ( Enable PING Option, which helps in troubleshooting)
Configure your SIP Security Profile
Incoming Transport Field to “TCP + UDP”
Outgoing Transport Field to “TCP”
Enable BIB on all Phones that will be used for recording.
Link Recording profile with all phones.
Create your SIP Trunk
Assign your Recording Server IP and Port “5060”
Assign the SIP Profile you created before.
Mark “This trunk is connected to recording enable gateway”
You will start receiving SIP Events in your recording server.
Troubleshooting
Please follow these steps for troubleshooting:
Verify SIP Trunk Status if it’s down please verify if VRS is UP and listening, Restart VRS, and check again.
Please verify above configuration steps are performed properly.
Verify Recording Profile is linked with the Destination Address ( DN / Route Point )
Verify SIP Security profile is configured with TCP as an outgoing port.
Verify BIB is enabled on Phones
Time Synchronisation
Communication between Voice Recording solution, Cisco CUCM, and Cisco IP Phones (BIB enabled) carry timestamps. If the system dates and times are not synchronized the system can produce unpredictable results. Therefore, please make every effort to adhere to the following time synchronization guidelines:
Voice Recording solution, Cisco CUCM, and Cisco IP Phones (BIB enabled) should have their Time Zone and time configured properly according to the geographic region and synchronized. To configure the time zone, please see the instructions from the hardware or software manufacturer of NTP server. Voice Recording solution and Cisco CUCM should be synchronized to the second. This synchronization should be maintained continuously and validated regularly. For security reasons, Network Time Protocol (NTP) V 4.1+ is recommended.
