Abstract: A software solution to recording IP based communications that is highly scalable and reliable. Recordings can be configured to occur automatically or be triggered on-demand by a user that has been given the rights to do so. The user initiating the on-demand recording need not be a participant on the call. The solution is based on two server components: a call manager and a media server. The call manager is responsible for re-routing the IP media stream between two endpoints via the media server. The media server relays the IP media packets while capturing a copy that is stored as the recording. The recordings are stored on a network share and secured using standard network file security mechanisms. Access to playback recordings requires rights that are configured via the administrator. Playback of the recordings can be accomplished via the phone, client application or web service. Each playback interface offers a listing of recordings that the user has rights to access.

Abstract: A distributed private branch telephone exchange (PBX) including a local area network carrying telephony traffic, an interface to the PSTN and a station interface connecting to a telephone device transmitting telephony over the local area network. The distributed PBX may contain a number of multi-port modules connected over a local area data network. The multi-port modules convert between synchronous and asynchronous signals and connect between a telephony environment, such as a telephone device, a local area network, and a personal computing device. The distributed PBX also includes PBX software and a graphical user interface (GUI) which facilitate the management of various PBX functions.
