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.

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.
