  • Page 5 How to use this manual. You may need an introduction to a “VIDICODE made” APRESA server, while others want to install the APRESA software-only on their alternative hardware. Connecting the APRESA to the telecommunication infrastructure, the correct approach to signal tapping, will be an issue that most users will have to deal with.

The installation process should start automatically. If installation does not start, make sure the USB- Stick is in the bootable devices list (Check BIOS setting: list of bootable devices). As an alternative one can make a manual selection for booting from USB-Stick by pressing F8 or F11 (depends on BIOS-brand) quickly after power-on.
  • Page 36 If you counter a prompt for ‘ Force UEFI ? ’, your reply should be: 'Yes' as UEFI is preferred for Apresa. UEFI is state-of-the -art, safer and allows for larger hard drive storage compared to MBR. After a while, when asked for, confirm the partitioning schema and allow writing of that scheme to the hard drive.

  • Page 50: General Apresa Configuration

    Consider applying the following security measures, especially when Apresa is on the public internet. • Restrict access using a firewall on Apresa or outside of it, based on IP address or other rules, or give access only through a VPN tunnel. Disable remote access to SSH, or allow access to SSH (port 22) only for your own IP address.

  • Page 51: Mounting

    As the best location, we advise to install the APRESA server is your computer server room. Always install the APRESA server in close proximity of the PBX and phone patch panel as there are maximum cable length restrictions to deal with.

    All interface cards mentioned extract the signals to be recorded based on ‘high impedance tapping’ meaning that the original signal is extracted with minimal electric disturbance. Depending on the type of PBX, the cable length between the APRESA recorder and the TAP- point (the “stub length”) can be up to 6 to 20 meter.

    The focus here is tracing the wires that carry the desired signal and how to make an easy TAP to feed the signal to the APRESA. Connect to the ports labeled “ANALOG”, “TDM”...

  • Page 56: Balanced Signals

    It is preferred to feed balanced pairs to the interface card. This will give the best results in terms of hum and other distortion. Every analog input of the APRESA is built with individual line transformers and DC blocking capacitors, in a truly balanced configuration.

  • Page 85: Maintenance

    Vidicode advises customers to check for Apresa base software updates from time to time as the software is intensively maintained and expanded. Note that Apresa base software updates are free of charge for every Apresa machine but only with a valid support and Upgrade (S&U) License that must be purchased every 1-or 3 year(s) .

  • Page 86: Redundant Power Supply

    In the status page of the APRESA (Tools/System/System Information) the health of the RPSU is displayed. In the event that one power pack fail, the other power pack will take over completely by delivering the desired power standing alone.
  • Page 87 There is no need to bring the APRESA system down to swap a power pack as the power packs are ‘Hot Swappable’. It is easy to replace a failing power pack.

  • Page 88: Storage Options

    The capacity of a RAID5 volume equals the capacity of N-1 TBYTE, were N=the number of hard drives in the RAID5 volume. RAID5 is depreciated for use with Apresa because 1) the chance to rebuild a RAID5 volume build with the modern high capacity hard drives is not at an acceptable level and 2) the lower write performance of RAID5 will limit the number of channels that can be serviced on an Apresa.

  • Page 89: General Information

    RAID5 is not an option to consider. Hardware RAID10 This combo of RAID0 and RAID1 is an excellent choice for Apresa with a high number of channels. Use the advised controller with cache/BBU for best write speed and reliable rebuild.

    The cards can be used for both hardware-RAID1 and hardware-RAID10 SOFTWARE RAID5 & HARDWARE RAID5 are DEPRECIATED Note that early in the setup of the Apresa system, even before base software installation the user must assign hard drives to a virtual drive to build the RAID volume, the ‘Redundant Array of Independent Drives’.
