Recorder and Function keys
The numerical keys and the recorder keys are combined. This is possible because depending on the selected procedure it is always obvious what the function of the keys must be.
During recording and playback the recorder keys have the standard recorder key functions. If no recording or playback is taking place these keys have a different function. The
and keys can be used to scroll
through a selection of recordings, numbers in a list or through a settings menu. The key will always exit the current operation. When editing
text they function as explained in the table of the alpha-numerical functions below.

1 Introduction
The Call Recorder PRI is digital audio recorders that can record from primary rate (PRI) ISDN lines.
This recorder are always shipped as a base model without recording channels plus a number of channels up to the maximum available for that model. The Call Recorder PRI can simultaneously record up to 30 calls. You must always check that the number of channels that you require is installed. When insufficient channels are installed an upgrade up to the maximum channel count for the model that you have can be ordered from your dealer. The Call Recorder PRI always has an internal drive and a network interface. A CD recorder is optional
1.1 Basic Functions
The Call Recorders PRI is designed for continuous unattended recording. All recordings are stored digitally on the internal drive. The large storage capacity of the drive ensures the ability of the Call Recorder of long term unattended recording. The Call Recorder issues a warning when the internal drive is getting full. If the warning is ignored the oldest recordings will be overwritten by the newest. Stored recordings can be accessed on PC’s via the LAN using the optional Call Recorder Access Software ro Araña web interface. You can copy recordings from the internal drive to CD if your Call Recorder is equipped with a CD drive. Copying recordings to CD­recordable can be done in different ways for different purposes. It is possible to copy single recordings, copy a selection of recordings or automatically copy all new recordings. Recordings on CD can be viewed and played with the Quick CD Access software that comes with the Call Recorder with CDdrive.
1.2 Speech Compression
Call Recorders that have compression facilities on board compress recordings according to the G.723.1 format. G.723.1 compression has a good balance between audio quality and recording size and can be reproduced on most PC’s with Microsoft Windows versions. Compressed recordings take up 1/10th of the size of uncompressed recordings (800 bytes per second against 8000 bytes per second). Therefore the compression has a profound effect on the storage capacity of the Call Recorder in terms of recording time.

1.3 Network
The Call Recorder ISDN can be connected to a PC or computer network through the Ethernet interface. With its own IP address the Call Recorder acts as an FTP-server from which recordings can be downloaded using any FTP client. The Call Recorder Access software can be used to connect to the Call Recorder over the network to retrieve recordings and archive them on the PC. The Call Recorder Access software has extensive archiving capabilities including the creation of special archives suited for backup on CD and fax image recovery of recorded fax transmissions. The Call Recorder can e-mail its status in case of a malfunction. Recordings can also be e-mailed according to the extension\e-mail list. Yet another application of the Ethernet connection is Real Time Remote Call monitoring over the network. The optional RTR Call Monitor software can be used to monitor all connected telephone lines over the network.
1.4 Search recordings
The Call Recorder has its own menu driven search function to find and play specific recordings. Recordings can be searched for according to date, Called number and line number.
1.5 Encryption
All recordings can be encrypted. The Call Recorder uses the CryptoCard option. Playback of encrypted recordings is not possible without the CryptoCard the recording was made with. Playback of encrypted recordings on a PC is possible only with the optional CryptoCard reader in conjunction with the original or a matching CryptoCard.
1.6 Pass through or passive configuration
The Call Recorders can be connected to the line in two ways: Pass through mode – the recorder is installed between the network and the telephone system and all channels pass through the recorder and the recorder can take control at any time. Pass Through mode is also occasionally called In-Line mode Passive mode – the recorder is connected in parallel to the line and just passively listening on the incoming and outgoing channels of the line. The Call Recorders have been designed for pass through mode. Pass through mode has several other advantages: It can intercept the D-channel and therefore control signaling between the telephone system and the network. This is used to filter numbers sent by the PBX so that they are not sent to the line.
Call Recorder PRI manual © 2009-2014 Vidicode®

It can be used to capture commands from the user to the recorder which has several applications that will be explained in this manual. Because of pass through mode the Call Recorder is equipped with loop­through relays to prevent the Call Recorder to disrupt telephone communication in case of a power failure or another malfunction. The loop-through relays then close to fall back into passive mode and ongoing telephone calls are not disconnected.
1.7 Privacy related functions
In some situations Call Recording is perceived as an intrusion of the privacy. The Call Recorder has several functions that allow the user to protect the privacy of anyone involved. In most applications the recorder is set up to record all calls automatically. The Call Recorder PRI can however be used to record specific numbers only or can be set to exclude certain numbers from recording. For this feature the Call Recorder PRI has a Numberlist that can be used as “blacklist” or as “whitelist”. See Chapter 6 for more details. The Call Recorder PRI can be used as a security recorder. For this purpose the recorder has a feature where the number of day’s can be set for the recorder to keep the recordings. In case of an emergency, recordings can be accessed while daily recordings are removed after the set number of days. This is used when for matters of privacy it is not desirable to keep recordings of the people involved for a long period. See § 4.7 for details. Another option for security recording is the DTMF initiated recording. The Call Recorder can be set up so it can detect DTMF tones on the line and start and or stop recording, or label recordings so they are not deleted afterwards. The CryptoCard option can be very effective to protect privacy. When the Call Recorder PRI is set up to record with the CryptoCard the privacy of the people involved can be guaranteed because the recordings can only be played with a card matching the card the recording was made with and the password that belongs to it. Without the CryptoCards the recordings are not accessible. There are CryptoCards that can only be used to encode and not to decode recordings, so even when the recorder is stolen the privacy of its users remains protected.

2 The Call Recorder PRI
2.1 What's in the box
The following parts are supplied with your Call Recorder PRI:
Mains cable (not available for Switzerland and Australia)
ISDN cable with two RJ45 connectors
Brackets and screws for 19inch rack mounting
This manual
On all models that have the CD drive option installed:
A CD with Call Recorder Quick CD Access software
A recordable CD
2.2 Connecting the Power supply
Use the supplied mains cable. The recorder does not have an On/Off switch; the Call Recorder ISDN is turned on by connecting the power supply. In some countries (Switzerland, Australia) no mains cable is supplied because it cannot be bought in the country of manufacture (The Netherlands). Any standard computer mains cable will do.
2.3 Connecting the line
The Call Recorder PRI is connected in series to the E1 ISDN line between the line port and other equipment. With the Call Recorder PRI you have received a cable with two RJ45 connectors. This cable is used to connect the Call Recorder PRI to the wall socket. The existing cable can be used to connect the Call Recorder PRI to the PBX as is shown in the figure below.
Call Recorder PRI manual © 2009-2014 Vidicode®

As explained in the introduction, the Call Recorder can work in pass through mode where it is processing the complete data stream and in passive mode where it is just listening. Although this is a substantial difference it does not affect the connection to the line. It is controlled internally with relays and can be configured in software.

4.9 Compression
The default procedure while recording is to compress the recorded audio from aLaw to G.723.1. This is a factor 10 compression with hardly any loss of quality. It can however be disabled. The available recording time on the internal drive is calculated based on G.723.1 compression.
Compression: On
NEXT CHANGE STOP
Call Recorder PRI manual © 2009-2014 Vidicode®

We recommend keeping compression enabled with some exceptions:
When you have a Call Recorder ISDN PRI without Codec’s compression can be enabled, but the recorder cannot compress in real time. The processor will compress afterwards in idle time. Then compression will only work well if you record calls only occasionally.
In any other case where you record only occasionally you may consider that compression is not necessary because the 2070 or 4140 hours of recording time that last without compression are sufficient and you do not want the loss of quality.
However, if you consider disabling compression, we recommend that you at least test the quality of compressed audio. Perhaps you will change your mind because the quality of compressed recordings is quite good.

4.11 CD Copy
This menu item will only appear when a CD recorder is installed. The CD Copy setting can be set to Single or Double or OFF. When set to Single the Call Recorder will automatically copy all recordings to CD as a means of single backup. When set to Double the Call Recorder will automatically copy all recordings to CD as a means of backup just as when CD Copy is set to Single. The difference is that each following CD will be started with the last half of the recordings of the previous CD, thereby creating a double backup. Downside to the Double CD Copy is that the effective CD capacity is reduced to half that of the original capacity.

8 Encrypted recording
Call Recorders feature a system for encrypted recording whereby IC cards called CryptoCards are used as a key. Encrypted recordings are made to prevent unauthorized playback of and listening to recordings. The system is very safe and recommended when some sort of security breach is possible. Examples of such a situation are:
The Call Recorder is connected to a network or even internet and there are reasons to think that password security is not enough.
The Call Recorder can be accessed and operated by persons who are not allowed to listen to all recordings and there are reasons to think that password security is not enough.
Privacy is considered to be an issue and therefore strict procedures must be maintained around listening to the recordings.
The CryptoCard is a chip card that holds the key to the encryption and decryption. Encrypted recordings can only be played back together with the original or a matching CryptoCard and its password. The 19” model has an internal reader and the case must be opened to place the card. The idea behind this is that a recorder built into a 19” rack normally will be accessed from remote only. It is a drawback rather then an advantage when the card can easily be removed. The Privacy Card is recommended which means that recordings can only be reproduced on a PC with the matching CryptoCard. CryptoCards can be obtained from your Vidicode products supplier. The use of the CryptoCard encryption function is enabled in the Recorder settings menu. See § 4.2 to enable the use of a CryptoCard.
8.1 Several types of CryptoCard
As mentioned there are cards that can be used for recording and for playback and there are cards that can be used for recording only, the so called “Privacy Cards”. It is important to understand the difference.
When it is important to be able to listen to recordings on the Call Recorder, use the standard CryptoCard.
When you prefer that it is not possible to listen to recordings on the Call Recorder, use the CryptoCard Privacy card.
It is also possible to supply sets of individual cards with a “Master Card” that can be used to decode all the individual cards. The application is when employees are only allowed to listen to their own recordings while, when needed, the management must have the ability to listen to all recordings.

8.3 The CryptoCard and its PIN and PUC code
The CryptoCard is supplied with a PUC code and a PIN code. The PIN code is a four-digit code and is requested to enable playback of recordings. The PUC code is a twelve-digit code and is used only when the card has been disabled. The PIN code can be changed with the Call Recorder. This can be done only when the Use CryptoCard function has been enabled. See § 4.2 to enable the use of a CryptoCard.

NOTE! A CryptoCard allows for two invalid PIN code entries. After the third invalid Pin code entry the CryptoCard is disabled. The next time the Call Recorder will ask for the PUC code to enable the card again. The CryptoCard allows for four invalid PUC code entries. After the fifth invalid PUC code entry the Call Recorder will disable the card definitively. It is advised to keep the PUC code in a safe place.
8.4 Making an encrypted recording
To make an encrypted recording it is essential that the Use CryptoCard function is enabled in the Recorder settings menu. Enable the Use CryptoCard function as described in § 4.2. With Use CryptoCard enabled it is no longer possible to make normal, unencrypted recordings without disabling the Use CryptoCard function again.

Encrypted recordings are stored as such and can be played only with a matching CryptoCard inserted. Encrypted recordings can also be downloaded to a PC with the Call Recorder Access software, however, they cannot be played on the PC without a CryptoCard matching the card used when the recording was made. See the following section for a detailed explanation.
8.5 Playing an encrypted recording
Encrypted recordings can only be played back with the original or a matching CryptoCard
Recordings can be played on a PC with the Araña web interface or the optional Call Recorder Access software on it and with the original or matching CryptoCard. Encrypted recordings cannot be played on the PC without the original or a matching CryptoCard. Your supplier of the Call Recorder can supply you with a Card reader for your PC together with the necessary drivers. Araña and the Call Recorder Access software will show whether recordings are encrypted in the "Use of CryptoCard" column. When an encrypted recording is played the Araña and the Call Recorder Access software will prompt you for the insertion of a matching card and the belonging code. After that the recording will play. The Call Recorder Access software has the ability to remove the encryption. Encrypted recordings can be exchanged with other PC's just as any other recording.

9 Configuration of the Ethernet interface
The Call Recorder has an Ethernet port. The network interface supports the following protocols:
FTP server
SMTP client for sending e-mail messages to a SMTP server
Telnet for remote configuration
NTP for automated adjustments of the system clock
A propriety protocol for streaming audio for real time remote
monitoring
FTP server is used by the Call Recorder Access System for network access to the database in the recorders and playback and archiving of recordings. It can also be used to give other (custom) applications access to the recordings (on the FTP server) in the Call Recorder. SMTP gives the recorder the ability to send e-mails. This has two applications. The first application is that the recorder can send recordings to users. The second is that the recorder can send status updates to the systems manager, for example a CD that becomes full. Telnet is a possibility to give a systems manager access to internal menu’s from remote. The NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a great method to provide accurate time information with your recordings. RTR monitoring is available for users of the PC software. It will be described later in this manual. We suggest that in the LAN setting you select and configure only the functions from the list above that you want to use.

10 Quick CD Access System
Call Recorders with a CD drive come with PC software, the “Quick Access System”. The purpose of the software is to be able to present the thousands of recordings on a CD as a database and to play the recordings on the PC.
The database makes it possible to make queries for certain types of recordings. The software will remember the names that you give to internal extensions and external numbers which will make it easier to sort recordings.
It is also possible to create an archive on your hard disk of recordings that are copied from the Call Recorder CD’s.
When ever you use the software, remember that the CD first has to be made suitable for the PC by making a CD directory. The Call Recorder can do this for you.
10.1 Install the software
Placing the CD-ROM in your computer starts software installation. If the installation is not started automatically, locate the file setup.exe on the CD and start it by double-clicking. Follow the instructions on the screen.

11 The Access software and Monitor software
The Call Recorder is equipped with an Ethernet interface that connects it to the network. This has several applications of which we mention two in this chapter. With the Call Recorder Access System it is possible to view the contents of one or several recorders on the network, play recordings and download them to a PC if required. With the RTR Call Monitor software it is possible to listen in to ongoing calls from a remote location. The software is only described superficially here because it a complete manual is supplied with the software.
11.1 The Call Recorder Access software
The Call Recorder Access System software is a versatile system for the access to Call Recorders across the network. The software holds a list of recorders it can connect to. The Call Recorder Access System can connect to the Call Recorders over the network and retrieve a list of all the recordings in the Call Recorders. Recordings can then be selected and listened to or be downloaded from the Call Recorder. Downloaded recordings can be archived on the PC.
Call Recorder PRI manual © 2009-2014 Vidicode®
77
11.1.1 Playing recordings
The Call Recorder Access software receives a listing of recordings first. Any recording can be played on line with the recorder using the incorporated recorder keys. The software supports the use of an external IC card reader and CryptoCards.
11.1.2 Queries
The Call Recorder Access software has the ability to make a selection of recordings according to a range of criteria such as date, time, call duration, name or number of the caller or other call properties.
11.1.3 Call statistics
The Call Recorder Access System has a statistical module that draws charts of the call distribution for you of a query from the database. This will allow you to quickly answer questions such as how many calls remain unanswered and what it the time distribution of that over the day? Similar questions can be answered for employees or departments.
11.1.4 Fax viewing
The Call Recorders ISDN can be configured to record fax transmissions. The Call Recorder Access System has the ability to differentiate between a fax transmission recording and a normal recording. It can reconvert the recorded fax transmission to the original image. A built-in viewer is
Call Recorder PRI manual © 2009-2014 Vidicode®
78
used to view the original fax image. Usually there is no loss of quality and the original fax can be viewed and printed.
11.2 The RTR Call Monitor software
RTR Call Monitoring stands for Real Time Remote Call Monitoring. The Call Recorder ISDN features the RTR Call monitoring option. The optional RTR Call Monitor software keeps track of the status of all channels of the Call Recorder ISDN. Once a call is started on a particular internal line of your telephone system, the RTR Call Monitor application can connect to the Call Recorder over the network. The Call Recorder then transmits the call over the network to the RTR Call Monitor application. This way it is possible to listen in on all lines of the Call Recorder with only a couple of seconds delay. The RTR Call Monitor application can be used to listen in on calls on all the Call Recorders connected to the network.
11.2.1 The RTR Call Monitor
For the communication between the RTR Call Monitor application and the Call Recorder it is essential that the network settings of the Call Recorder have been properly configured. See Chapter 6 for details.

12 Acknowledgements
12.1 Privacy
When recording telephone conversations the Privacy of your conversation partner must be considered. In some countries there is an obligation to notify your conversation partner of the recording. Check your national legal obligations on this and other issues concerning the use of the Call Recorder. In the United States, the Federal government requires that only one person involved in a conversation must know the call is being recorded. However, each state has its own legislation. The vast majority of states have laws complying with the Federal “one party” requirement. A few states, such as Florida and others, do require both parties to be aware the call is being recorded. The Call Recorder ISDN can comply both with the one party or two party requirements. One party simply means the person with the Call Recorder knows the call is being recorded. Compliance is made with two party requirements by sounding a notification tone during the call.
12.2 Guarantee
Your Call Recorder has a 12-month factory guarantee. The guarantee is effective for normal use only. We would like to emphasize that the guarantee is not valid under exceptional environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or humidity levels, nor in the unlikely event of a lightning strike. The guarantee is not valid if the machine has not been handled properly, for example when it has been dropped, or bumped into. In order to qualify for guarantee, you should contact your supplier, and show the receipt. If your supplier cannot help you, you should contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer reserves the right to determine the final date of the guarantee period on the basis of the date of production. Costs of transport to and from the supplier or the manufacturer are for the buyer’s account. Guarantee is for parts only and does not cover any costs resulting from the breakdown of the Call Recorder. The Call Recorder has various extra features that have not been described in this manual. Additional information about this is given in a technical information bulletin. Subjects discussed in this technical documentation are further configuration options, remote configuring, and how to update the firmware in the Call Recorder. The further configuration options concern all aspects of operation. In our experience most people are interested in configurations related to user’s access.

12.3 Liability
Correct functioning of the Call Recorder cannot be guaranteed under all conditions and thus we do not accept any liability for loss of information or other damages due to the use of the Call Recorder. Vidicode assumes no liability regarding incorrect notification of call recording. Vidicode is not a source of official interpretation of laws of any country or state and shall not be construed as a source for making decisions.
