SIP Profile settings for proxy-based recording

If proxy-based recording is used, the following settings have to be set:

  • User-Agent and Server header information: Pass Through Received Information as User-Agent
  • Early Offer support for voice and video calls: Best Effort (no MTP inserted)
  • Allow Presentation Sharing using BFCP
  • Allow iX Application Media

Step 4 - In the Enable OPTIONS Ping section turn on the Enable OPTIONS Ping to monitor destination status for Trunks with Service Type "None (Default)" setting.

Step 5 - Click on the Save button.

Optional - Create a new SIP Trunk Security Profile

In special cases like outbound announcement, secure SIP Trunk connection, or when multiple SIP Trunks going to connect to the same Verba server, a new SIP Trunk Security Profile has to be created.

Step 1 - Select the System / Security / SIP Trunk Security Profile menu item.

Step 2 - Create a new profile for the new recorder trunk by clicking on the Add New button.

Step 3 - Provide a Name.

Step 4 - If multiple SIP Trunks going to connect to the same Verba server, then all of them should have a separate security profile with a different Incoming Port setting. If this is the case, then change the Incoming Port setting accordingly.

Step 5 - If the SIP Trunk going to be used for outbound announcement, then turn on the Accept replaces header setting.

Secure SIP Trunk connection

If secure SIP Trunk connection is used, the Verba server certificate has to be uploaded to the CUCM first. In the SIP Trunk security profile, the following settings have to be set:

  • Decice Security Mode: Encrypted
  • Incoming Transport Type: TLS
  • Outgoing Transport Type: TLS
  • X.509 Subject Name: Recording Server certificate Subject value (after CN=), which is usually the FQDN of the Recording Server. You can check this attribute by opening the certificate file in Windows.
  • Transmit Security Status

Step 6 - Click Save.
