1- Recording Script

• The first step we need to take on freeswitch is to download Download

  View file
  name record.lua

  file.

• Connect to the VM where free switch is installed.

• Place it in the "scripts" directory of freeswitch. It can be found under "/usr/local/freeswitch/scripts/" or "/usr/share/freeswitch/scripts/" depending on whether you installed freeswitch recorder from source or package, respectively.

• Open record.lua and change the url url = "http://<ip-address>:9900/mixer/sip-data". And url = "http://<ip-address>:9900/mixapi"

• Create a direcotry/folder in the path /usr/sharelocal/freeswitch with the name cucmRecording. now enter to this cucmRecording folder and create two more folders/directories with names “streams“ and “sessions”.
  The directory/folder can be created with

...

• Edit/open the recording script (record.lua) and assign the correct paths to the "recording_dir" and "mixedRecordingDir" variables.

• The correct path can be found via "pwd” command after checking into each directory, the “pwd” command will print the working direcotry directory path.

local recording_dir = '/usr/sharelocal/freeswitch/cucmRecording/streams'
local mixedRecordingDir = '/usr/sharelocal/freeswitch/cucmRecording/sessions'

...

#chmod 777 -R "full/address/of/directory"

2 - Dialplan Configuration

• Switch to the dialplan direcotry inside the freeswitch.directory /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/dialplan

• Add the following lines of code in the public .xml file of both freeswitches.

<extension name="outside_call" continue="true">
	<condition>
		<action application="set" data="outside_call=true"/>
        <action application="log" data="INFO PP-----${sip_from_host}--------------Starting Record Dialplan --------------12124"/>
        <action application="export" data="RFC2822_DATE=${strftime(%a, %d %b %Y %T %z)}"/>
	</condition>
</extension>

<extension name="CUCM Recording Profile">
	<action application="log" data="INFO Entering Call from CUCM"/>
	<condition field="${sip_from_host}" expression="192.168.1.26">
		<action application="lua" data="record.lua"/>
	</condition>
</extension>

in case of multiple CUCM we need to add all the ip addresses using '|' pipe.

<extension name="CUCM Recording Profile">
	<action application="log" data="INFO Entering Call from CUCM"/>
	<condition field="${sip_from_host}" expression="192.168.1.26|192.168.1.27|192.168.1.28">
		<action application="lua" data="record.lua"/>
	</condition>
</extension>

3 - SIP Profiles

• Switch to the sip_profiles directory in /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/sip_profiles.

• Edit the internal.xml and external.xml SIP profiles and enable or uncomment the Third Party Call Control option in both of them.

• Change the value flag to "true" if it is set to "false" or "proxy".

...

<param name="parse-all-invite-headers" value="true"/>

• Now set the rtp-ip, sip-ip, ext-rtp-ip and ext-sip-ip equals to your recorder’s machine ip in external.xml.

• Code Block
  <param name="rtp-ip" value="<ip-address>"/> <param name="sip-ip" value="<ip-address>"/> <param name="ext-rtp-ip" value="<ip-address>"/> <param name="ext-sip-ip" value="<ip-address>"/>

4- Access Control List (ACL)

Navigate to the directory "/usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs"

Open the file "acl.conf.xml" and add the following line “<node type="allow" cidr="<CUCM_IP>/32"/>” under the "<node type="allow" domain="$${domain}"/>" line. (Replace <CUCM_IP> with the IP address of your CUCM installation). In case of multiple CUCM send invite recorder, add multiple lines each to allow each one of the CUCMs.

<node type="allow" domain="$${domain}"/>
.
.
<node type="allow" cidr="<CUCM_IP>/32"/>     <!--- Add this line and replace "<CUCM_IP>" with the IP address of your CUCM installation -->

5-Disable STUN

Navigate to the file vars.xml in /usr/local/freeswitch/conf open the file and comment out following lines.

<X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="stun-set" data="external_rtp_ip=stun:stun.freeswitch.org"/>

<X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="stun-set" data="external_sip_ip=stun:stun.freeswitch.org"/>

Since it is a pre process we need to restart the Recorder.

#sudo systemctl restart freeswitch

7- Utilities

After the Recorder is restarted, Install the following utilities by running the commands:

#sudo apt install -y lua-socket
#sudo apt install -y lua-dkjson
