Start and Registration

General procedure for integration:

• install TrueConf AI Server;

• activate AI server;

• generate an integration key on each TrueConf Server that needs to be connected to the AI server;

• In the TrueConf AI Server control panel, connect all video conferencing servers.

Video conferencing servers and AI servers must have mutual FQDN resolution to communicate.

After that, you can enable the transmission of audio to the AI server for recognition directly on the TrueConf Server or for each conference.

Where to get the AI server?

TrueConf AI Server is offered as software for installation on a server that meets the system requirements listed below.

To purchase TrueConf AI Server, contact TrueConf managers using any convenient method. The company's specialists will work with you to select the appropriate equipment option based on the desired conference recognition speed.

• A server with one NVIDIA RTX A4000 level video card will recognize 60 minutes of audio in approximately 5-7 minutes.

• A server with 2 NVIDIA RTX A4000 level video cards will recognize 60 minutes of audio in approximately 3 minutes;

• A server equipped with 4 NVIDIA RTX A4000 GPUs will recognize 60 minutes of audio in approximately 1.5 minutes on average.

Since TrueConf AI Server is provided as software, it must first be deployed on the customer's equipment. We recommend using configurations with at least one NVIDIA RTX A4000 or higher level graphics card, as recognition is significantly faster on a GPU than on a CPU. Multiple GPUs can be used, which will proportionally increase the recognition speed.

The characteristics listed below will generally allow for the recognition of 60 minutes of a conference in 5 minutes (the speed greatly depends on participant activity and is just an average guideline).

System Requirements

Parameter	Value
Operating System	Debian 12
Processor	Intel Xeon Silver 4310T and above (3rd generation Intel Scalable with 10+ cores)
Graphics Card (GPU)	NVIDIA RTX A4000 16 GB or better
RAM	At least 16 GB running in dual-channel mode, 32 GB recommended
Internal Storage	SSD at least 512 GB, generally the volume depends on the desired data retention period

It is recommended to discuss in advance the detailed system requirements for the expected load with representatives of TrueConf.

Installation

1. Contact your TrueConf manager to obtain two .deb packages that contain the two AI server modules.

2. In the OS on the machine where you are installing TrueConf AI Server, execute the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt update

3. Install both modules using the commands:

sudo apt install trueconf-ai.deb

sudo apt install trueconf-ai-server.deb

Start and Diagnostics

For these operations, you need to run a special script in the terminal:

sudo tcs

Further actions can be performed in the menu of this script.

To start the system, sequentially execute the following commands:

• menu Run → Start AI

• menu Run → Start Database

• menu Run → Start API

Diagnostics:

• Displaying the list of Docker containers — menu Status → AI Containers list

• container log output — menu Status → Get Log AI

• API log output — menu Status → Get Log API

• retrieving system service status data via API — menu Status → Get Status API

• retrieving the status data of the Database system service — menu Status → Get Status Database

Accessing the control panel

After installing TrueConf AI Server, ensure that the machines with it and TrueConf Server can recognize each other by domain names.

You can now log in to the TrueConf AI Server control panel using an administrator account at a URL like: https://[ai-address]/admin/, where [ai-address] is the IP or FQDN (domain name) of your AI server. Alternatively, you can simply go to the server address and click the Sign in as administrator link at the bottom.

By default, the login details are:

Login: root

Password: hash

Remember to change the default password after registering your AI server!To do this, go to the Accounts section and select your account. There you can also add other accounts for AI server administration as shown below.

Registration

The license for TrueConf AI Server determines:

• the number of video conferencing servers that can be connected to this AI server in full access mode;

• the number of video cards installed on the machine with the AI server;

• (optional) the license may also specify a list of TrueConf Server that can be integrated with full access.

Until you register TrueConf AI Server, its control panel will be locked, and only the registration form will be displayed on your screen. There are two registration methods available: online and offline.

Online Registration

For online registration, the machine with TrueConf AI Server must have access to the registration server reg.trueconf.com via TCP port 443. This method is offered by default:

Enter your key in the registration window (you have most likely received it from your manager via email) and the domain name under which the AI server will be accessible for video conferencing servers. Then just click the Register button and wait for the process to complete.

Offline registration

If accessing reg.trueconf.com is not possible, use the offline registration option. To do this, also specify the registration key and the domain name under which the AI server will be accessible to video conferencing servers. Then click the Go to offline registration button:

Click the Go to offline registration button to create a special .srg file.

Send this file to TrueConf, for example, via email or through technical support. You will receive another file in response, which you need to upload to the designated field and click the Register button.

View license information

To view information about the current license at any time after registering TrueConf AI Server, go to the License information section:

There you can re-register the server with a new key using the Re-register button. You can also update the license from the registration server reg.trueconf.com with the current key, for example, if the number of licensed video ports has changed. To do this, click the Renew license button.
