Verba provides an option for configuring phone-based silent monitoring for Skype for Business / Lync or for Cisco. In case of Cisco, it's done without the use of the JTAPI connection or the Built-in Bridge. This feature can use in cases like:

When the web-based silent monitoring is not available
When the phone device doesn't have Built-in Bridge (Cisco passive recording)
There is no JTAPI connection (Cisco)

Prerequisites

Before the Verba side configuration, a trunk has to be configured at the PBX side. For the configuration steps, see: Configuring Cisco UCM for dial-in recording, Configuring Microsoft Lync for dial-in recording
