generic FTP server or an Avaya Meetings Streaming and Recording. The process of saving a
recorded file to an external server could require some time to complete, depending on the duration
of your recorded session and the speed of your network connection. Typical transfer time for 4GB
file (size of a recorded session of 5 hours at 2048K, 1080p) is around 30 minutes. During the file
transfer you can monitor the progress of a file transfer, represented by a blue bar over the file
preview in the playback page. A special icon is also shown in the Avaya XT Series GUI title bar to
indicate that the transfer is still in progress. If you shut down the Avaya XT Series or unplug the
USB key while a file transfer is in progress, the transfer will be interrupted and you will need to
restart it manually from the Avaya XT Series Web interface. A special icon over the file will show
that the transfer failed.
You can view recordings from the local USB storage device either on the Avaya XT Series or
using any standard media player. The system saves the file as an MP4, and records the video in
H.264 format with audio in AAC-LC format. You can view recordings saved to the network via the
Avaya Meetings Server Unified Portal (see Using Avaya Meetings Server Unified Portal).
If using a USB device to record a videoconference hosted by your built-in Media Server, up to six
remote endpoints can join the meeting (if your license is Media Server 9). If your license is Media
Server 4, up to three remote endpoints can join. If more remote endpoints already joined, you
cannot start a recording.
Important:
Any recordings you make are not authorized by the manufacturer and are made at the sole
responsibility and liability of the user.
Recorded videoconferences use one monitor only. During recording, the auxiliary monitor displays
the same video layout as the primary monitor.
Before you begin
• To record to a local USB storage device, insert it in the lower USB port on the Avaya XT
Series. Use a USB storage device formatted with FAT32, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4. Other formats,
even if supported, are not recommended.

• To record directly to the network, your Avaya Meetings Server must include a recording
server, the Avaya XT Series must be managed by Avaya Meetings Management, and the
meeting must be hosted by an external Scopia Elite MCU or the Avaya Meetings Server
Media Server (or an older model). The endpoint must be accessible remotely by Avaya
Meetings Management with its address in the remote access settings (see Deployment
Guide for Avaya XT Series). For more information, contact your system administrator.
• (Optional) Customize your recording settings for local USB recording, such as video
resolution, as described in
Enabling and Configuring Recording on page 106. For example, to
increase the recording time allowed, lower the recording bitrate.
