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:
<Channel type="analog" id="" eid="">
    <Device id="" name="" tapPort="" continuousRecord=""/>
</Channel>
Step 3 - Fill in the properties of the channels and save the file.
