Depth: 254 mm

Weight: 2.75 Kg

H.2.5. DETAILED DescripTiOn OF FUNCTIONING

The detailed functioning of the equipment follows:

The input channels to record/monitor in the Neptuno 3000 system will be connected to one of the input channels of the Interface/Filtering Box (A1-A32 positive and A1-A32 negative) The signal will be optionally routed through the filters, protections and impedance adaptions. This routing can be per channel controlled with the conmuters present on the box. In the lower position, channel is filtered, protected and the impedance is adapted to 600 Ohm. In the upper position, the channel is unfiltered, unprotected and the impedance is unadapted, (Neptuno 3000 native high impedance).

WARNING:

In the upper position, channels are unprotected. This may risk the malfunction of the channel or the entire group of 32 channels, and even the physical damage of the system.

Figure 5.10-3. Recording options

USER MANUAL




The options that you can configure for each input channel are the following:

5.10.4.1 Audio format

You can use any of the formats to which you have access permitted by the administrator of the recorder. PCM formats are without compression; you can choose the resolution of the sample (normally 16bps will be enough). The remaining formats use different compression algorithms which allow the space occupied on disk to be reduced in exchange for a loss of quality which may be perceptible or not, depending on the type of input signal.

5.10.4.2 Sample rate

This is the number of samples that are taken per second. The more samples you take, the better the sound quality that you get, but the size of the file generated will be greater. To get professional quality, select the maximum available. If your input signal is limited band (e.g. a telephone line has a bandwidth limited to 3400 Hz), you will get the maximum quality by selecting a sample rate that at least doubles the bandwidth of your signal. Using a greater sample rate will not increase the quality of the recording but it will increase the occupation of space on disk.

5.10.4.3 Automute

Detects the presence of silence in the input signal and permits a diverse configuration:

� Generate events: When the recorder detects silence in the input signal during a time longer than indicated, an event will occur that you can see in the playback window and decide whether you want to listen to it or not. The silence time does not occupy space on disk.

� Generate files: Performs the same way as above, but instead of producing events, a new file will be generated when a signal reappears in the input (the silence ends). It can be used, for example, for the unattended operation of telephone lines generating different files for each call without the intervention of the operator.

� Time (seconds): Indicates the number of seconds that the system has to let elapse when a silence is detected before producing an event or a file, depending on the option selected.

� Time (minutes): Indicates the number of minutes that the system has to let elapse when a silence is detected before producing an event or a file, depending on the option selected.

� Threshold: Any input signal whose level is below this threshold will be considered as silence.

� Description: Permits a description or comment to be added to the recording (token) that will be made. To add a description, press the keyboard icon and use the touch keyboard.

Once the desired options have been selected, press the Accept button to save the configuration. If you want to close the window without saving the changes, press the “Cancel” button”

The “Accept” button is identified by the following icon:

USER MANUAL




Fecha / Date: 03/06/2010

5.12 ALERTS

5.12.1 Criticality

The Neptuno 4000 recorder has a system of alerts whereby the user is warned of a number of problems that may arise in the machine.

The alerts sent by the recorder can have four levels of priority:

� Low: A message with a yellow background and black letters will be displayed in the alerts window. The machine will issue a short beep every three minutes and the alert tab will be displayed in red every three minutes.

� Medium: A message with an orange background and black letters will be displayed in the alerts window. The machine will issue a long beep every three minutes and the alert tab will be displayed in red every three minutes.

� High: A message with a red background and white letters will be displayed in the alerts window. The machine will issue several short beeps every minute and the alert tab will be displayed in red every minute.

� Critical: A message with a red background and white letters will be displayed in the alerts window, flashing every half second. The machine will issue several short beeps followed by a half-second interval every minute, and the system will automatically change and the alert tab will be displayed in red every minute.

The system may send several alerts simultaneously. The colour of each of the fields will correspond to the level of the corresponding alert, but the sound alarm will correspond to the highest level alert.

To view the alerts that the system is generating, select the alerts window. Should there be no active alert, the system will display the following message: “There are no active alerts”.

The following figure shows an example of the various alerts that the Neptuno 4000 recorder may send:

USER MANUAL




Figure 5.12-1. Alerts window with two active alerts (High and Medium level)

5.12.2 System alerts

The following is a description of the alerts generated by the system. There are alerts that maintain always the same level of criticality; other alerts change level depending on different circumstances:

• New media is needed on backup unit . The system asks to the user to put a new unit of backup, normally due to the filling. The criticality of the alert is associated to the need of the unit, and depending on if it has unit of backup in some other device. The alert will be critic if the recorder doesn¡t have a backup where it can make a copy of the last records (There are no backup or in manual mode) and low if it has just one backup available in automatic mode.

• Hard disk missing or not fully synchronized . The internal system test has detected that a hard disk is missing because it is not present, it is not synchronized at all or it is only partially synchronized.

• Hard disk full . The system has reached the maximum physical disc space or the maximum number of disc recordings

• NTP Server communication failure . It indicates that it is not possible to contact with the service of time synchronization. Alert is high when connection have been interrupted for more than 10 periods (the period is the time that passed between synchronization plots), and medium otherwise.

• Communication with DAC failure (only in TETRA netwo rks) : There is no communication with the unit in the Tetra network that distributes the information. Critical level.

USER MANUAL




Fecha / Date: 03/06/2010

• Network overloaded (only in TETRA networks) : Due to an overload in the Tetra network, some communications are being lost. Critical level.

• Backup cleaning needed : When the backup unit is a DAT cassette, it is necessary to perform regular cleaning processes. The most common reasons for this alert to appear are:

o The unit has apparently been cleaned correctly, but less than 24 hours after, the cleaning alert appears again. A new cleaning cartridge must be introduced. If the alert persists contact the technical support.

o The unit has apparently been cleaned correctly, but the backup media is not read correctly. A new cleaning cartridge must be introduced. If the problem persists it may be due to the cassette or the DAT unit. In the later case contact the technical support.

• No format after repeatedly formatting: Due to one of the following reasons.

o DEV DAT R/W End of File, Unit : Error when writing the end of the file.

o DEV DAT R/W DAT beginning, unit : Error while accessing the beginning of the media.

o DEV DAT R/W End of tape, unit : Error while accessing the end of the media.

o DEV DAT R/W Mark error, unit: Error while creating marks for the files

o DEV DAT R/W Input/output error, unit: General access error.

o DEV DAT Read only system, unit: Read only file system.

o DAT ERROR I/O Recom. Subs., unit: Input/output error. Cassette substitution recommended.

o DAT read only, unit: Media write protected, only reading allowed.

o DAT ERROR General Subs. Recom, unit: General access error. Substitution recommended.

NOTE

These alerts are only applicable to DAT backup unit s.

5.14 AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS

The Neptuno 4000 system has a series of automatic functions maximizing unattended operation. The automatic functions carried out by the recorder are the following:

5.14.1 Automatic backup:

The system has a redundant backup system. These units are activated alternatively. This scheme permits to maximize unattended operation. The system detects when a unit is full or out of service and then switches to the other unit and generates the corresponding alert. (Both of them must be in automatic mode)

Periodically the recordings not yet backed up, are saved to the active backup unit. However, saved records are not removed from the disk. They continue to be online, so that most queries do not require previous restore.

The system will always ask you to have two backup devices available for making backups. If the machine is unable to access either of the two units for whatever reason (the backup units do not contain devices or they are full or in manual mode), the recorder will issue an alert to warn the user of this incident.

5.14.2 Automatic deletion of old records:

Recordings already saved to the backup media are kept in the hard disk until 80 % of the maximum capacity is reached. In this situation the oldest recordings already backed up are deleted until 70 % of the maximum capacity is reached.

The deleted recordings will be the oldest and those that have been dumped to the backup unit. The machine will delete all the recordings saved on disk that are necessary until the occupied space on disk is reduced to 70%.

If none of the recordings saved in the machine’s hard drive has been dumped to a backup unit, the system will start deleting the oldest but not still copied to a backup unit since the system can never stop recording.

5.14.3 Ejecting the Backup device:

The Neptuno 4000 system automatically ejects the backup devices that reach the end of their capacity and asks for a new one.

USER MANUAL




Fecha / Date: 03/06/2010

5.15 PRINTING LABELS

When the backup media has been filled, it must be extracted from the system. To allow its identification it is convenient to print a label with information about its content.

If your configuration includes a supervisor computer, equipped with a label printer, you can use it to print the label. Follow the procedure below:

- Insert the media in the supervisor computer

- Start the client application in local mode

- Select the backup media, pressing the corresponding button: “Unit 1” or “Unit 2”.

- The screen with the information about the media appears. A “Print” button is available. Press it to print the label.
