[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk as a Voice Logger alternative to NICE or Witness Systems
? Hello I would like to use Asterisk as a Voice Recorder/Logger. I have 20+/- Siemens digital TDM phones with RJ11 analog recording interfaces on the back of each phone (separate from the digital line itself). I would like to bring the audio via copper cable to a Channel bank and convert into a T1 to interface with a Digium T1 card in Asterisk. Also all of the phones will have a TAPI interface via USB cable to a PC whereby the PC can send a "start record" and "stop record" signal and caller ID information to the server instead of relying on VOX (voice activated recording). Phone-------------------------------- Phone --------------------------------T1-ChannelBank-----------T1 LINE------Asterisk Phone-------------------------------- Question 1: Can the asterisk T1 line begin audio recording by either VOX or a signal from a TAPI device Question 2: Has anyone tried this? This would be useful instead of buying a very expensive NICE system or Witness system. Matthew Machen Southern Company Network Support
