Netgear FS726T is a browser-based manage switch with 24 standard 10/100Mbps ethernet ports, two copper 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and SFP slot for optional fiber connectivity.
It supports Port Mirroring (Port Monitoring) function.
This guide contains instructions of how to configure Port Mirroring on Netgear FS726T switch.
Step 1. Answer two simple qustions below.
Step 2. Connect all your devices like shown on following network diagram.
All IP Phones, for which a call recording is necessary, should be connected to Netgear FS726T switch.
MiaRec and IP-PBX also should be connected to Netgear FS726T switch.
Step 3. Configure Port Mirroring function on the switch.
In order to configure Port Mirroring feature, you need to open Netgear Web-Based Management Interface (if you don't know how to do this, check a documentation of your device).
When you login on Web Interface, go to setting Switch->Monitor.
You should see a page like on below screen-shot:
Configure Port Mirroring according to following instructions:
- Sniffer Mode should be set to Both.
- Sniffer Port should be a port, where MiaRec Server is connected to. On the network diagram it is shown in red color (Analysis port).
- Source Port. Check the port, where IP-PBX is connected to (if you have one) or uplink to WAN/Internet (if you do not have IP-PBX). All other ports should be unchecked. On the network diagram it is shown in green color (Monitored port).
Caution! If you have inter-office calls (between local phones), then every phone's port should be checked as a Source Port (Netgear switch supports monitoring of multiple ports).
Save changes on that page (click 'Apply' button).
Now a configuration is completed and you should be able to record calls with MiaRec Business.
