Chapter 1 Overview
The NTP Series NTP-480A/PCIe(2.0) boards are VoIP call recording boards supporting up to 480
channels. These boards perform VoIP call recording via port mirroring, applicable to 100M/1000M
network environment.
1.1 Functions
A single board provides up to 480 channels for VoIP call processing.
Data acquisition via port mirroring allows recording for two PBXes simultaneously.
Adopts port mirroring to obtain voice data from the network and transfers them to the PC,
eliminating any disturbance to either side of the original call, and making the recording
unperceived at all.
Each board has a unique hardware serial number written in the firmware to distinguish
itself from other boards and prevent piracy.
The on-board authorization code identification circuit is designed for software safety.
Users can apply to our company for the authorization code.
1.2 Features
PCIe Bus Support
Includes PCIe x1 interface which meets the PCIe1.0a standard and is applicable to various
PCIe slots; supports the PNP (plug and play) feature.
Integrated LAN
The board is integrated with 100M/1000M network card.
Two Gigabit RJ45 Interfaces
Either or both of the two RJ45 interfaces can be used for data acquisition.
Update Available
Users can update the board to acquire more channels simply by applying for new channel
license files. The authorization information will be saved in the firmware after update.
Various Encoding Formats Support
Offers a large selection of encoding formats, including A-Law, μ-Law, IMA-ADPCM, G.729a
and GSM.

Supports WAV File
The recorded voice files can be edited and played by audio tools such as Cooledit.
RTP Data Reception
Supports RTP decoding formats including A-Law, μ-Law and G.729.
Synway’s Unified SynCTI Driver Development Platform
Synway owns the intellectual property rights for the unified high-intelligence SynCTI driver
development platform. By simple API function calls on this platform, recording for different
occasions can be implemented. Our API interfaces are highly encapsulated and exported
in ANSI C style, which eliminates the need for users to consider the bottom layer IP
communication details.

2.3 Installation Procedure
Note: Always turn off the power before installation!
Step 1: Properly fit the required NTP board into the PCIe slot (compatible with X1-16) on
the PC chassis.
Notes:
①For the installation of other voice boards from Synway which are used with the NTP board,
refer to corresponding hardware manuals.
②Other necessary hardware devices (such as network cable) used to set up a whole VoIP
application environment should be installed by users themselves.
Step 2: Boot your computer and install the driver.
Regarding driver installation, refer to SynCTI_InstManual.pdf.
Note:
After installation, you should just set the IP of the network card but not the gateway;
otherwise the local network connection may fail.
Step 3: Connect network cable.
Connect the network cable from the mirror port to an RJ45 interface of the board. Set the mirror
port of the target network depending on your requirements.
Key Tips:
As the system is expected to run for long hours unmannedly, ‘energy-saving’ mode
should be turned off for both the CPU and the HD in CMOS or WINDOWS operating
system. This is to ensure full-speed operation of the computer, or it may lead to a drop in
performance or unexpected errors after running for some time.
A chassis installed with voice boards must be grounded for safety reasons, according to
standard industry requirements. A simple way is earthing with the third pin on the plug.
No or improper grounding may cause instability in operation as well as decrease in
lightning resistance.
