October 2007 Call ID This identifies the call and can be used to search for all recordings of a given call If a call is placed on hold, transferred or conferenced, multiple recordings can result. These will all be tagged with the same Call ID. Call Ids are recycled so you may need to combine this field with a narrow date/time range to ensure that the previous or next call to be assigned this ID is not included in your result set.
As the recorder makes a separate recording of each “segment” of a call it is often a requirement to find all recordings of a given call. This would include before and after transfers or hold and retrieve operations. Standard 2.0 Nortel Contact Recording...

Replaying Recordings Exporting Recordings The recordings held within the Nortel Contact Recorder system and streamed to your browser are deliberately kept in a format that is not immediately playable by anyone with Windows Media Player (or similar). You may be given the ability to export recordings to industry standard WAV files that are readily playable on most PCs.
