Introduction
The DIR911t is Eventide’s second-generation Direct Instant Recall (DIR) recorder.
Eventide’s instant recall recorders take telephone and/or line level input sources as
inputs, digitizes them, and stores them in internal memory (or optionally to an internal
hard drive). Once recorded, the user is then free to instantly recall any call and playback
exactly what came in from the source. Additionally, the unit can record “out of band”
data such as Caller ID digits, Automatic Location Identification (ALI) information, and
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) information. The unit also offers (but is in no
way limited to) the following features:
• Playback speed control. Speed control allows the operator to play back the
message slower or faster without any detectable changes in audio pitch.
• Uninterruptible Power Supply. The unit contains an internal battery pack giving
the unit up to 5 minutes of back up power.
• External Activation Indication. RS-232 level outputs that indicate that a line is
actively recording.
• External Activation Control. RS-232 level (with “relay closure to ground pin”
compatibility) inputs that can be used to tell the unit to record.
• Live monitoring. Live monitoring of any input source.
• Re-Record output. A re-record output is available and can be used to record as
the unit is playing back.
• Multiple line capability. The DIR911t can independently monitor and record up
to 4 telephone lines or 4 line level input sources depending on the configuration
purchased.
• Networking. The DIR911t contains a 10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN port for
advanced networkability.
• Email calls and status. The unit can send an email to the system administrator
when it detects an alarm condition (memory full, etc.) and daily status logs.
Additionally it can email call files to the call center manager.
• USB Interfaces for both call archiving and for system upgrades.
