We give our clients to option of either recording all calls, or allowing the
operator to press *1 during a call to start recording manually.
Using Asterisk 1.4, this is what we do:-
We created a Macro in extensions.conf like this:-
[macro-mixmon]
exten => s,1,GotoIf($["${XAD}" = "0" | "${XAD}" = ""]?startrec:donothing)
exten => s,n(startrec),GotoIf($["${ARG1}"=""]?beep:nobeep)
exten => s,n(beep),Playback(/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rec1)
exten => s,n(nobeep),Set(XAD=1)
exten => s,n,MixMonitor(FILENAME.wav,b)
exten => s,n(donothing),MacroExit
(please note, FILENAME.wav is usually ${UNIQUEID:0:10}, but I changed it to
make it easier for you to understand. You'll need to change it back to
something like ${UNIQUEID:0:10}.wav if you are recording multiple calls because
otherwise they'll be constantly saved to FILENAME.wav and you'll lose all the
previous calls.)
(please note, /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rec1 is a beep tone so that the operator
knows that he's successfully started the recording.)
Then to recording every call, we add this before the DIAL(SIP/extension)
command in extensions.conf:-
exten => _9.,14,Macro(mixmon,nobeep)
If you don't want to record every call, you can give the operator the option of
press *1. We did this by adding the following to features.conf:-
MixMonApp => *1,self/both,Macro,mixmon
Hope that helps.
