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.

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.
