Verba can record several radio dispatch centers or radio gateways which are capable of sending a copy of the radio channels in RTP format to the Verba Recording Server over IP. The recording was tested with the following solutions:

Bosch Telex IP-223
Motorola / TwistedPair WAVE
Avtec Scout

Configuring Verba for IP-based Radio Recording

Once the RTP ports are configured on the radio dispatch / gateway side, the Verba Analogue and Radio Recorder Service (Verba General Media Recorder Service in the older versions of Verba) has to be configured:

Step 1 - Create a new recordingchannels.xml file in the C:\Program Files\Verba\setting folder. You can download the sample from here.

Step 2 - To configure the channels for recording, add the lines to the recordingchannels.xml file according to the configuration on the radio dispatch / gateway side.

Attribute	Description
Channel
type	The type of the channel. The options are "telex_roip" or "voip".
id	Unique ID for the channel. Can be anything.
eid	The Verba tenant environment ID for the channel. Required only in the case of multi-tenant Verba deployment.
Caller / Called
id	The ID of the caller / called. This filed will populate the "From" or "To" (phone number) fields of the record.
