Archiving is configured for individual recording channels, or pairs of channels, depending
on the recording options settings. For each channel, the following settings should be
configured:
Alarm Enabled
This option allows you to disable the archive warnings and alarms. It is primarily for users
who don’t wish to use Archiving and therefore don’t want the distraction of having the
archive warnings and alarms activating when data is overwritten.
Buffer Size
The buffer size (5-1000Mbytes for MPEG, 1–200Mbytes for G.729A) is the amount of
un-archived data stored on the Net-Log before archiving will start. If you set the buffer
to 150MB, the Net-Log waits until it has that much data before it archives to the selected
destination. The size of the buffer you select is really dependent on network activity. If your
network is quite busy you might want to set the buffer at a relatively low size (5-50MB).
Warn Time
In normal operation, the Net-Log records continually, overwriting information initially
recorded on the drive when it reaches the end. The warn time is the amount of time prior to
data loss on the Net-Log (5 mins to 14 days) and provides a warning that data will soon be
overwritten which has not been archived. Once data is overwritten, the archive alarm will
activate. Please note that if you have a busy network you should set this time quite high to
give enough time to archive the data. This option has no effect if the Alarm Enabled option
is disabled.
Arrange Archive Audio into Fixed Duration Files
When this box is ticked, the audio transferred from the Net-Log to the archive destination
drive will be split into fixed length files, determined by the Target File Duration option.
Without this option enabled, the audio files will appear on the archive destination drive as
they do on the Net-Log.
Target File Duration
This is the duration (5 – 60mins) of the files that will be created on the destination drive.
For example, if it is set to 5 minutes then the files on the target drive or device will be of a
five-minute duration. This option is only valid when the “Arrange Archive Audio into Fixed
Duration Files” box is ticked.
File Type
This determines the type of file that is created (.wav, .mp2 or .g7a).
Destination IP Address
This is the IP Address of the PC on the network that you want to archive to.
Target Folder Share Name
This should be set to the share name of the folder where you want the archives to be stored
at the destination IP Address. Only the share name should be entered, not the path of the
shared folder. To find the share name, locate the target folder in Windows Explorer, then
