com1-voice-logger-installation-software-main-menu-linestatus

  1. 【Channel ID】it’s the number of local telephone. This blank should be filled in correctly. If the Line ID is null, the recording system can’t work.
  2. 【Recording mode】there are 【Voltage control】【Audio control】and 【Key control】modes. For 【Voltage control】is the default recording mode, it can shows the dialing out and incoming call numbers. For 【Audio control】and 【Key control】modes. It can’t show caller ID both dialing out and incoming. Tick the mode you want for selection. 【Key control】method: pressing 【**】 key means record this call. pressing 【##】 key means do not record this call. For WAV software,If you need 【Audio Control】. Please do one more step except ticking. Please change the value of 【CARD_CFG.TXT】 in server folder. Set the 【VOICECONTROL=1】(0 is the voltage control)
  3. 【Prefix】some telephone numbers have the same prefix. For example, the exchange telephone display a number 9 before all caller number. So, set 9 as the Prefix number. The recording system can record the correct telephone number without 9 at the first number. The rule is the same of In prefix and out prefix.

So, the higher value, the louder voice is needed for starting the recording system. The best value depend on different recording environment. When it’s the 【Voltage Control】this value should larger than the current noise value(showed on the right of Mute value, changing all the time).otherwise, it cause error on on hook and off hook detecting. The value also have some relation with 【RING_THRESHOLD】parameter in 【CARD_CFG.TXT】of Server folder.
  7. 【Apply to All】apply the setting of current line to all channels directly. For example: if all channels need the 【Audio Control】mode, just set at one line. Then click 【Apply to all】, so that, all channels use the 【Audio Control】mode.

  2. 【min REC time allowed】 The parameter is for avoiding invalid call recording. The call should last at least N seconds, the recording system identify it’s the valid call and generate recording files for the call.
