Converting DRP Files to WAV Files
The soundcvt utility enables you to convert digitally recorded conference files to sound files,
which can played using any PC-based standard multimedia application.

CAUTION:
Use of this utility to convert large files will degrade system performance. Only use
CAUTION:
this procedure when the bridge is idle.
To convert a DRP file to a .wav file:
1. Login to the system dcbguest account.
login: dcbguest
password: abc123
2. Type these commands to list DRP files in the confrp directory:
$ cd /usr3/confrp
$ ls -al
The system displays the list of DRP files.
3. Run the soundcvt utility to convert the selected DRP file to a .wav file. You can rename the
.wav file (the converted file) during the conversion. The conversion can take minutes to
hours, depending on the size of the DRP file.
$ /usr/dcb/bin/./soundcvt -U <DRP filename> -W /usr/dcbguest/
<filename.wav>
4. Verify that a .wav file was created in the dcbguest directory.
$ cd /usr/dcbguest
$ ls -al
The list should include the DRP filename with the .wav extension.
5. Change permissions for the file as desired. The following chmod example shows that full
permissions are granted to all users. (The permissions you set may be different.)
$ chmod -R 777 filename.wav
6. Copy the .wav file to a PC where you can listen to the conference recording using any
multimedia program that plays .wav files.
