RMX 2000 Administrator's Guide Version 7.6.1 - Polycom

Recording Conferences
13
Conferences running on the RMX can be recorded using a Polycom® RSS Recording and
Streaming Server (RSS).
The recording system can be installed at the same site as the conferencing MCU or at a
remote site. Several MCU’s can share the same recording system.
Recording conferences is enabled via a Recording Link, which is a dial-out connection from
the conference to the recording system.
Recording can start automatically, when the first participant connects to a conference, or on
request, when the RMX user or conference chairperson initiates it.
Multiple Recording Links may be defined.
Conference Recording Links can be associated on the RMX with Virtual Recording Rooms (VRR),
created and saved on the Polycom® RSS 4000 Version 6.0 Recording and Streaming Server
(RSS).
Each Recording Link defined on the RMX can be given a descriptive name and can be
associated with one VRR saved on the Polycom RSS 4000.
The following guidelines apply:
• A Recording Link that is being used by an ongoing conference cannot be deleted.
