temperature conditions between 0 and 40
degrees Celsius. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic devices
and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the APRESA away from excessive
dust and dirt.
Do not use aggressive chemicals, cleaning
solvents or strong detergents to clean the
APRESA.

You may want to install a complete “Vidicode made” APRESA server while others want to install
the APRESA software-only on their alternative hardware.
Also the expansion of existing APRESA systems may need some guidance. Expanding an APRESA
system involves adding recording channels, increasing storage capacity or adding/ changing a RAID
volume.
Connecting the APRESA to the telecommunication infrastructure (signal tapping) will be an issue
that most users will have to deal with.
The purpose of this manual is to support you in an effective way. The document starts by
presenting a road map that will guide you to the applicable sections for your situation. You will
easily find the chapters that are relevant for your situation by using the flowchart.
For a list of VIDIC DE APRESA Article codes refer to chapter 10.

If you want to upgrade an existing APRESA system with additional channels or interface card(s) you
can go to the “Upgrade existing installations” chapter.
Existing APRESA systems need channel upgrade when customer business expands after time and
more and more phones needs to be recorded. Adding and configuration of new channels in
software is easy, the main effort here is hardware installation

The APRESA hardware is based on industrial PC server components and is built in a 19 inch rack-
mount housing. It is fully compatible with 19 inch server racks and will take 4U height space in the
rack.
All APRESA-options ordered for this machine are pre-installed by VIDIC DE:
You will find APRESA license, CHANNEL licenses, C DEC licenses, etc and the APRESA
software on CD in the delivery. These are just for your safekeeping. You need these items
when you want to re-install the software.
Interface card(s) that are ordered for this machine will be pre-installed.
All basic controls, indicators and the DVD are safely placed behind a lockable door. Please note that
the lock-keys are universal.
The sole purpose of the DVD is to accommodate software installation. Because the software is pre-
installed by VIDIC DE, the DVD has no immediate function. The DVD is used when software must
be re-installed in the future for whatever reason.

This chapter describes the complete procedure for installing the APRESA software from a CD.
Pre-requisites: - M NIT R + KEYB ARD + ETHERNET
- APRESA license, Channel license, G.729 license etc.
- W RK-PC (processing the licenses / WEB configuration APRESA)
- Interface cards as applicable.
If you have purchased the complete “Vidicode
made” APRESA server can skip this chapter. Your
product will be delivered with software installed
and all purchased channel licenses nicely activated.
This procedure will also be use full to re-install the
APRESA software for whatever reason.
Typically, this procedure is typically written to
support you if you have purchased the APRESA
Base Software license (inherently without server
hardware). This chapter contains all the supporting
information that is needed to implement the
APRESA software package on the server hardware
of your choice.
The APRESA software runs under the LINUX Debian
operating system and needs X86/PC compatible
environment. (Note : 64Bit only)
Because APRESA offers great flexibility in number
of recording channels, digital taps, analog taps etc.,
the hardware requirements depend mainly on the
scale of the recording system to build. Also, the
spare capacity issue for future expansion must be
taken in consideration.

An APRESA that records only VoIP channels is a truly “Software
only” solution Recording POTS, ISDN, TDM etc however require

(Skip this chapter if you are working on a VoIP-only system inherently without interface cards)
The interface cards are all PCI (PCI-e) based PC expansion cards.

Procedure in detail :
- Shutdown the APRESA by using the WEB page(L G N,->T L->SYSTEM->SHUTD WN
(The shutdown may take some time so wait patiently until the red power LED turns off).
- After this controlled power down, disconnect the mains power plug (note : in case the
APRESA is equipped with redundant power facility, remove B TH mains power plugs)
- pen the chassis by removing the 2 screws of the top cover plate to gain excess to the
PCI(PCIe) expansion slots. (only for Vidicode, other vendors hardware may be opened
differently, refer to the documentation supplied by your typical hardware vendor)
- Locate a free PCI or PCI-e slot to accommodate the interface card you want to install.
- Unscrew the blind plate bracket that corresponds with the PCI expansion slot to use.
- Mark the type of card (like P TS, TDM etc.) for future reference.
- Carefully insert the interface card accurately in the PCI (PCIe) expansion slot and lock the
card-bracket using the screw. In case the interface card has a RJ21 type connector check
both its bail locks to move freely outside the housing prior to fixation.
- ptionally you can add the top-bracket to secure the interface card firmly in the PCI socket.
Doing this is important with the (older) long interface cards. All new interface cards are
quite short and will be mechanically fixed stable enough by only the card-bracket screw.
- Reposition the top cover and fixate the screws.
APRESA can take a number of interface cards depending on the specifications of the motherboard
and the chassis.
F.i. Supermicro C2SBC 4 PCI + 2 PCI+, totals to 6 cards.

Insert the APRESA installation CD into the APRESA and restart the system. The installation process
should start automatically. If installation does not start, make sure the CD drive is in the bootable
devices list. (Check in the BI S). When asked for, select a hard drive for installation and confirm the
partitioning of that hard drive. From this point on the installation should proceed automatically
without further user interaction. The installation process usually takes less than 30 minutes. The
end of the installation is signaled by the ejection of the installation CD and the ‘System Halted’
message.

Connect the APRESA system to Ethernet. n the Vidicode-made APRESA hardware, this slot is
marked with “PC”. Remove the installation CD, and restart the APRESA system by pushing the
‘RESET’ button. The system should now boot the newly installed APRESA application. If the system
uses RAID, the hard drives synchronizing process will start. Depending on the size and speed of the
hard drives, synchronization may take several hours to complete. Allow the hard drive
synchronization to finish without power interruption. The system can be accessed during
synchronization.

TO ACCESS THE WEB-INTERFACE OF THE APRESA YOUR PC MUST HAVE
AN IP-ADDRESS IN THE SAME IP-SUBNET AS THE APRESA
Accessing APRESA for the first time
The complete control over the APRESA is by WEB interface only. The next section helps you in
setting up the web connection with the APRESA by the use of web browser on your work PC.

The WEB interface is for normal use and configuration. nly under special circumstances the user
may need access to the system shell. This is achieved by connecting a monitor & keyboard directly
to the APRESA.
After the software installation the APRESA has a STATIC IP address:
Static settings make it easy to find the APRESA on Ethernet but note:

To access the APRESA web interface, you need to configure your work PC to have an IP address in
the same subnet as the APRESA system. This means that your work PC should have an IP address in
the range from 192.168.55.0 to 192.168.55.255, for example 192.168.55.10. This can be done as
follows:
- pen the list of Network Connections (Windows Control Panel)
- Select your network connection, right-click and select Properties
- Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", and click "Properties".
You should see something like the screen displayed on the right.
A. If “ btain an IP address automatically” is enabled, then it is
necessary to switch temporarily to a static IP address, as follows:
- Enable “Use the following IP address”
- As IP address, fill in: 192.168.55.10.
- As Subnet mask, fill in: 255.255.255.0
B. If the PC was already set to a static IP address, but in another
subnet, then it is possible to add an extra IP address to the PC
configuration.
IP (STATIC) = 192.168. 55. 55
SUBNET MASK = 255.255.255. 0
