Network-based Recording Configuration

CUCM Configuration

Network- based recording is configured using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Network-based recording is controlled by using a recording profile assigned to the line. The recording can be selective or full-time audio-only recording. You can either configure CUBE or phone as the forking device and you can change the forking device during a call.
