- Identify best practices and usage effectiveness through comprehensive reporting
- Allow access to the VDN for CDN deployment or programs
- Manage organizations, in a multi-tenant deployment (including what profiles, categories and
CDN settings they can access)
- Create and manage viewer mappings to associate viewers with the appropriate distribution
node location
• Avaya Equinox Unified Portal: Viewers select the Recordings and Events tab on the main
Avaya Equinox Unified Portal page to access the viewer portal. Users can select the Schedule
tab to schedule an event. Users can perform the following tasks in relation to recordings:
- View programs

Avaya Equinox Recording Gateway
You can configure Equinox Streaming and Recording to record:
• Audio-only conferences
• Audio and web collaboration conferences
• Video, audio, and web collaboration conferences
Audio-only and audio and web collaboration conferences use SIP. Video, audio, and web
collaboration conferences use H.323. In order to support this mix of protocols, you must deploy a
Avaya Equinox Recording Gateway. You can deploy the Avaya Equinox Recording Gateway using
the Avaya Equinox Management interface. The Avaya Equinox Recording Gateway is similar to an
Avaya Equinox Media Server but does not accept regular client connections and is only used for
