Is APR compatible with my modem?
APR will detect if it can take advantage of your modem voice capabilities. If it's not possible to
work it will show you a message that "your modem is not compatible with IS101 command set".
Many modern modems now support this standard and many manufacturers adopt but nothing is for sure.
Usually modems having Conexant chip will respond positively and APR will work sufficiently.

What is a voice modem?
Most modems can be classified with these characteristics:
Data/fax
Data/fax/voice
Data/fax/voice/speakerphone
Voice generally means that the modem is capable, with appropriate software, of supporting telephone
answering machine functions: the modem can 'record' and 'play' to the Windows. The answering machine
software will also use the sound card on the machine to play and record. The software may also include
functions to dial or answer calls using your sound card's microphone and speakers or headphones.
Windows comes with a Phone Dialler. This utility will dial a number with any type of modem; after
Phone Dialler dials a number, you use any normal phone (connected to the 'Phone' jack of the modem)
to complete a voice call.
A modem that includes speakerphone capability will have additional audio components on the modem to
provide an interface for a microphone and speaker or headset. This allows the modem to dial or
answer and provide high-quality full-duplex voice functionality.
Full duplex means you can talk and hear at the same time. Many 'voice' modems when used on voice
calls will provide only half-duplex functionality: at any instant, you can either be talking or
listening. The quality of the audio produced using a voice modem is often a problem.
CALLER ID is not automatically supported by all modems. In most cases, data/fax modems will not
provide any caller id support. The chipsets for voice, speakerphone and even most data/fax modems
are capable of caller id, but the modem must include additional components: the caller id signal is
sent by the phone company between the first and second rings while the phone, or modem is
still on-hook. Modems that support caller id must have a circuit to receive the caller ID
information without taking the modem off-hook.
»
How does the exact setup of the hardware work and with what cable?
Usually modems have two sockets. Phone and Line. You connect phone and line cables respectively.
The cable is the regular telephone cable with RJ-11 clip.
»

If you do not support VoIP can I run your product (say on a multi tasking OS eg XP) at the same
time as a VoIP application provided there are no hardware conflicts? (APR uses Voice modem and
VoIP product uses a sound card)
It doesn't support VoIP recording. You can run at the same time with a VoIP application with no
conflicts since the recording interfaces and mediums are quite different. PSTN network on first
case and TCP/IP network on the second.
»

We are trying to use the File -> Copy to Folder... option. The wave file copies correctly.
However, it doesn't allow us to change the name of the wave file: the copied file reverts back to

may also select and copy many files. You rename them afterwards.

How to connect APR with a DSL / ADSL modem?
The splitter is connected to the phone jack of the DSL filter. If there is no DSL filter it is connected
to the wall jack.
As you see one cord goes to the Voice modem and the other to your telephone.
This is a splitter. It is a passive component that splits the line to two parts so the modem may tap
the line.
When you complete the connections connections click the record button and if they are correct you will
see the dial tone on the scope instead of a flat line.

I need to know if it will accommodate 4 phone lines on a 5 line system. I also need to know if each
phone in the building needs one and which computer maintains the calls. How long can each recording be?
Is it manual or automatic?
Advanced Phone Recorder in brief APR is a single line recorder. It needs a voice modem to work on and
it keeps files and database locally to the computer it is connected to.
Outgoing calls are recorded manually. Incoming calls automatically or manually. There is a
demo version
you may download install and evaluate if it meets your requirements.
If you operate 5 lines yourself as you have told me and you need all those conversations recorded to
your PC locally then consider Diacorder USB.

Say I have a microphone and headset attached to a computer. Can I use APR to answer incoming calls,
so that I make talk to a caller through the voice modem?
No. It doesn't work like this. You need a "speakerphone voice modem". You attach mic and headset to
the modem and then you use it as a regular telephone controlled by the software.
Unfortunately APR cannot do that.
