Introduction 

1.1

 

Several models, one manual  

Silver Line Call Recorders for ISDN are digital audio recorders that can 
record from basic rate (BRI) or primary rate (PRI) ISDN lines. There are 
several models: 

 

ISDN PRI for one E1 line without compression facilities for up to 30 

channels 

 

ISDN PRI for one E1 line with compression facilities for up to 16 

channels 

 

ISDN PRI for one E1 line with compression facilities for up to 30 

channels 

 

ISDN II for two S0 lines with compression facilities for up to 4 

channels 

 

ISDN II for four S0 lines with compression facilities for up to 8 
channels 

These recorders are always shipped as a base model without recording 
channels plus a number of channels up to the maximum available for 
that model. Depending on the model Call Recorder and the number and 
type of ISDN lines that you have the Call Recorder ISDN 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 can be delivered in two forms: build in a desktop case 
or in a case for in a 19” rack. 
The Call Recorder ISDN always has an internal hard disk and a network 
interface.  
A CD writer is optional and available for the desktop model as well as 
for the 19” model. 
This manual applies to all variations of the Call Recorder ISDN. The 
operation is kept almost the same between models. When there are 
differences because of the facilities that are installed, they are quite 
obvious and the manual will explain the differences between models 
that the user may see. The file format of the recordings is identical for 
all recorders and all communicate with PC software in the same way.

Basic Functions 

Call Recorders ISDN are designed for continuous unattended recording. 
All recordings are stored digitally on the internal hard disk. The large
