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.

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.

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.
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 loop-through
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.
