Introduction
Total Recall
is a compact, cost-effective and self-contained digital Voice
Logger/Recorder which records and provides secure storage for over 1600
hours of calls. Call information is presented on the Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD). With simple keystrokes and 3 easy to navigate menus, the
user configures and operates Total Recall to search,
playback and archive calls.
Available as a 4, 8, 12 or 16 channel unit, Total Recall
will record the telephone numbers of incoming* and outgoing calls**, and
store this information in a database, together with a time & date
stamp, the duration of the call and reference to the specific channel
number. All these
“fields” can be used to search and retrieve calls from the database.
Once a call has been located and retrieved from the Total Recall
database, the call can be replayed via an internal or external speaker,
or, for privacy, via a headphone port.
*Note: Functions only if Caller ID Line Identification
(CLI) is available on the line at the connection point.
**Note: Functions
only if DTMF tones are present on the line at connection point.

If cables have to be

Important
Note:
To ensure no loss of power or interruption to recordings, it is recommended that Total Recall be connected to a UPS power
system. Total Recall utilizes a database with potentially open and
active files. Power disruption with an unclean shut down will cause
damage to these open files and will require a database rebuild. This rebuild
will occur automatically when power returns.
