==Turning off recording mid-call==
[[File:Snom-record-key.png|thumb]]
It is possible to turn recording off when you are on a call. This is ideal if you take sensitive information such as credit card numbers over the phone. This does need to be set up beforehand.
 
Optionally calls are recorded.
You need to configure your phone to send a SIP message, for example, on a SNOM phone, this is done under the 'Function Key' settings.
 
However, there are occasions when you do not want a call recorded, eg when people give credit/debit card details.
 
Here is a simple guide to controlling call recording on the phones.
 
#You need a SNOM with a "Record" button. Most of them have this, on the top right, with a white circle on it. If you don't have a record
button, one of the general purpose buttons can be re-programmed to be a record button (as for help if needed).
 
#Pressing the record button the first time will turn "on" recording,
which is somewhat pointless as recording is already on - all that
happens is a round record icon comes on the screen.
 
#Pressing a second time turns "off" call recording, removing the icon.
As recording is being turned off you also get a low beep when you press
it this time, and so does the other person.
 
#If you press again, it starts another call recording and give a high
beep, you can repeat starting and stopping of recording as necessary.
 
This means that, if you are part way through a call, and want to stop
recording, you press the record button twice, i.e. until it beeps and
the icon goes away.
 
YouTo set this up on your phone you need to configure yourthe phone to send a SIP 'record' message, for example, on a SNOM phone, this is done under the 'Function Key' settings.
