5. When done, go to the Network tab. Here you can define the failover recording server's public IP
address and more. This is relevant if you use NAT (Network Address Translation) and port forwarding.
See the standard recording server's Network tab for more information.
6. In the Site Navigation pane, select Servers > Recording Servers. Select the recording server that you
want failover support for and assign failover recording servers (see Failover tab (recording server) on
page 401).
To see the status of a failover recording server, hold your mouse over the Failover Recording Server Manager
tray icon in the notification area. A tooltip appears containing the text entered in the Description field of the
failover recording server. This may help you determine which recording server the failover recording server is
configured to take over from.
The failover recording server pings the management server on a regular basis to verify
that it is online and able to request and receive the configuration of the standard
recording servers when needed. If you block the pinging, the failover recording server is
not able to take over from the standard recording servers.

recordings servers in the group.
