1Introduction
The Call Recorder VoIP is a software and hardware combination for the
recording of telephone calls that are transported over an IP network.
The supplied hardware unit copies the digital data, coming from
external IP telephone calls, to the PC. The software interprets the data,
and stores it as playable audio files on the hard disk, together with the
date, time and call number information (meta data).
Every gigabyte of free disk space allows you to record up to 180 hours of
conversation on your hard disk.
The Call Recorder VoIP hardware unit (CR-VoIP unit) is USB powered.
Without power it is not possible to record from an external IP phone.
Recording an IP Softphone does not need the CR-VoIP unit to be
connected during recording, but it is still needed during the installation
of the software.
The program stores recordings in a versatile database, called the archive.
This archive is displayed on your computer screen as a list of recordings.
In the list the recorded meta data, like date and time of the recording,
is stored with the actual recording and can be viewed in the archive.
Pre-defined queries for time intervals are readily available. It is possible
to search on telephone number. Custom queries can be made and saved.
The database has its own Windows style Recycle-bin. Recordings are
stored as wave files in subdirectories (year\month\day\hour) of the
archive directory.
NOTE 1:
The CR-VoIP unit needs to be powered through USB, otherwise the
software can not record calls from an external LAN cable.
NOTE 2:
The CR-VoIP software stores all recordings on your PC. During recording
it is necessary that the PC is on and the software is running.

2.2 Software installation
First connect the CR-VoIP unit to a USB port on your computer.
Now place the CD in your computer and the software installation starts.
If the installation does not start automatically, then locate the file
‘CRVoIPInstall.exe’ on the CD and start it by double-clicking.
Follow the instructions on the screen:
•Select your preferred language for the installation.
•Confirm the location where the software will be installed.
•Specify a location for the database files.
•Select whether you want a desktop icon for the application.
NOTE 1:
Software installation is only possible when the CR-VoIP unit is connected
to a USB port on the same PC.
NOTE 2:
A separate installation of the WinPcap driver may be needed and is
started automatically, depending on the absence of this low level
network interface driver.
When the software starts for the first time you will see an empty
database:

Several options are now important to configure, such as:
•Select the language of the user interface.
•Add one or more recorder-channel licenses.
•Enter the IP-address(es) of your local phone(s).
NOTE:
You need to enter at least one recorder-channel license key before the
software is able to record your calls (see Setup > Licensing).
All options are further explained in the next chapter.

3.2 Setup
3.2.1 Recording
•IP Addresses of phone
Enter the IP address of the local VoIP phone. If multiple phones are used,
input the IP address of each phone, separated by commas. This setting is
used to determine what is the local and remote side of a call, which is
needed to determine the direction of a call (inbound or outbound).
Instead of specifying individual IP addresses, it is also possible to specify
an IP range, using the standardized network prefix notation. For
example:
192.168.0.0/24 means that the first 24 bits are fixed, and the last 8 bits
may vary, which means that, in this example, all IP addresses that start
with 192.168.x would be considered local.
Note1: Enter the IP address of the local VoIP PBX might cause, that the
shown direction of the call is incorrect.
Note2: This IP address is not used as a filter.
•Avaya
This option enables support for the special Avaya (IP Office) H.323
protocol.

•Minimum Duration
Minimum Duration refers to the minimum duration of a recording for it
to be stored. Standard setting would be 5 seconds. Recordings shorter
than the set Minimum duration will not be stored.
•Call Recording for Skype Software
By default, this option is not active. When activated, a button with the
name "Uses Skype Software" is displayed in the List tab of the main
screen, and Skype calls are recorded. When this option is enabled for the
first time and after an update of the software, the Skype software itself
will ask your permission if the VoIP software may use Skype.
Note: This option makes use of the API provided by Skype. Changes in
the API or the removal of this API in future updates of Skype may cause
this feature not to work anymore.
3.2.2 Licensing
This page shows the status of previously entered licenses.
•Click the Add button to enter a new license key.
The number of concurrent recording-channels is determined by the
available license keys, up to a maximum of 4 channels.
