Associate recorders

To have the content from several recorders archived centrally, you need to associate the recorders with the Central Archive server manually.

No default associations

There are no default associations. You must manually associate recorders with the Central Archive server. The Central Archive server can only fetch content from the recorders with which it is associated. If you do not associate a recorder with the Central Archive server, Central Archive cannot fetch content from that recorder. Associating recorders to a specific Central Archive server allows you to split the recorder load across Central Archive servers for geographic or performance reasons.

Central Archive and Screen recording

To Archive recordings in Screen-only recording, on the recorder server that you associate with the Central Archive Server, you must enable the:

IP Recorder or TDM Recorder server role Entity that contains a logical, predefined set of components (system software or certified third-party software) deployed in the Data Center and Site Zones that provide specific functionality for the system.
Screen Recording server role

Procedure

In the System Management Module that allows performing suite-wide system management activities from a single, Web-based application, the Enterprise Manager. Installations tree, expand the server assigned the Central Archive server role.
Select the Central Archive role.

Click to select the Recorders to be "serviced" by the selected Central Archive Server.
