Configuring Synway Analog Tap Card recording

Installing the Analog Tap Passive Board

After you plugged in the ATP board to the computer, you have to install the corresponding driver.

Synway driver download link: http://www.synway.net/Download/Driver/Windows/shcti5430/SYNWAY_PCI(USB)_5430_EN.exe

Step 1 - After starting the installer, select Typical

Step 2 - Please make sure that you install the 64 bit version of the driver for v9.x or later, and the 32 bit driver for Verba 8.x or earlier

Alternative Synway Driver

If after installing the previous driver you get an unknown "Computer Telephony Device", please uninstall the previous driver then download and install this driver.

Your card now should be recognized properly.

For more information, see the Synway board installation manual: http://www.synway.net/Download/Manual/HardwareManual/Rec_ATP006.pdf

Configuring Verba for Synway ATP recording

If you installed the ATP card, you have to configure the Verba Analogue and Radio Recorder Service (Verba General Media Recorder Service in the older versions of Verba).:

Step 1 - Create a new recordingchannels.xml file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Verba\setting folder. You can download the sample from here.

Step 2 - To configure a channel for recording, add the following lines:

Step 3 - Fill in the properties of the channels and save the file.

Attribute		Description
Channel
type		analog/voip: for Synway ATP recording use the "analog" value.
id		It can be a random string, you have to change it every configuration change in the channel.
eid		4char: Optional. For multi-tenant system this attribute shows the tenant id of the channel.
Device
id		The phone number of the agent.
name		The name of the agent.
tapPort		The tap port number where the line is plugged in.
continuousRecord		true/false: For continuous recording set it to "true". For onhook-offhook based recording set it to "false". NOTE: It only works with normal analog PSTN lines.

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Channels>
        <Channel type="analog" id="analog_000" eid="">
                <Device id="+12013550400" name="Jack Hoffman" tapPort="0" continuousRecord="false"/>
        </Channel>
