Total Recall VR LinX Evolution

The packet collector does not interact with the packets on the Ethernet link in any way.
It does not add, remove or modify packets. It simply detects and takes a copy of each
packet for further processing.
Ethernet switch SPAN port (or port mirroring as it is otherwise known) is by far the
cheapest and easiest way to connect a Total Recall VR to a RoIP network for the
purpose of recording. Even if your current Ethernet switch does not support it, myriad
other switches, which cost few hundred dollars only, do support it.

In active mode Total Recall VR accepts RTP and Tait VRP packets on user configurable
UDP ports, also known as UDP services. RoIP equipment can send RTP and VRP
packets to the UDP services for the purpose of recording.
This interface receives RTP and VRP packets only. It does not send packets to the
network.
