A RealPresence Trio 8800 can be used to utilize a USB stick for Audio Recording and Playback.

The above describes in detail the functionality itself and the attached file usb_recording.cfg can be imported via the Web Interface if a Provisioning Server is not implemented.

Plugging in a USB stick shows the recording capacity

Once the call is in a connected state the “Hamburger” Menu will have the recording Option

Going back into this Menu will allow to Start the recording

Going back into this Menu again will present further Stop or Pause options.

The recording status is displayed in the Top Menu Bar
