Verba Dial-in Services provide audio functions for all PBXs with SIP support, however, video services are limited to certain vendors. Please contact Verba regarding the latest video recording compatibility.

Dial-in lines

The solution provides different dial-in lines with different capabilities:

  • recording line without prompt - recording starts immediately when the recorder answers (but asks for Recorder PIN if required)
  • recording line with prompt - recording starts after a prompt when the recorder answers (but asks for Recorder PIN if required)
  • playback line - provides playback capabilities for conversation recordings stored in the solution
  • advanced dial-in line - provides more advanced playback and recording capabilities

Recorder line numbers are configurable. Different customer deployments will have different recorder line numbers.

Authentication

The dial-in services lines are authenticated, functions and content are restricted based on the detected identity. Authentication uses the following procedure:

  1. Detect the caller's phone extension
  2. If the extension is configured in Verba and configuration allows PIN-less operation, the service progresses directly
  3. If the extension is configured in Verba, but configuration requires PIN, the service progresses after successful PIN authentication

The recorder line does not answer if:

  • the caller uses a hidden number
  • the extension is not configured in the Verba system,
  • dial-in recording is not allowed for that extension

PIN-less, extension based authentication is prone to caller ID spoofing.
Use that functionality with care (e.g. for internally accessible dial-in services only).
