The Call Recorder is equipped with an Ethernet interface. Therefore the
Call Recorder 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. The Call
Recorder Access System software can be used to connect to the Call
Recorder over the network to retrieve recordings from the Octo | Quarto
and archive the recordings on the PC. The Call Recorder Access System
software has extensive archiving capabilities including the creation of
special archives suited for backup on CD. A special version of the Call
Recorder Access System allows for fax image recovery of recorded audio
fax transmissions. The Ethernet connection also allows for RTR Call
monitoring over the network. The optional RTR Call Monitor software
can be used to monitor all connected telephone lines over the network.
The Octo | Quarto has its own menu driven search function to find and
playback specific recordings. Typical recording-file search parameters can
be Date, Called number and Telephone number. The Octo | Quarto has
an internal speaker for playback of recordings.

All recordings can be encrypted. The Call Recorder uses the CryptoCard
option for this feature. Playback of encrypted recordings is impossible
without the CryptoCard. Playback of encrypted recordings on a PC is
possible only with the optional CryptoCard reader in conjunction with
the original or a matching CryptoCard.

1.1 Configuration

The Call Recorder Octo | Quarto is connected in parallel to the
eight/four telephone lines but can also act as a telephone itself.
Recording is started and stopped separately for each conversation.
Recording is started when a telephone is taken Off-Hook and continues
until the telephone returns to On-Hook. The On- and Off-Hook status of
the telephone lines is detected automatically. Automatic Gain Control,
speech compression, notification and Caller ID can be configured
separately for each separate line.
Recordings can be started in several ways. Direct On- and Off-Hook
detection is the most common. Recording can also be started by a
switch-connection. Making or braking a contact can start or stop
recording for individual lines. Voice activated recording is another way
to start and stop recordings. This method is common for recording of
radio communication or other audio sources.
