digital multi-channel data and voice record and replay system. It is capable of continually
recording multi-channel IP voice, multi-channel data from connected LAN nodes. Moreover, it
provides convenient and quick retrieve and replay method.

V
1 Function
Main functions of MDVR-02 include:
⚫ Automatically Recognize and Record IP Voice, Real Time Collect and Record Data.
⚫ Retrieving the recorded information.
When replay or backup, the user can perform quickly retrieving to recorded voice or data
information according to selected time interval.
⚫ Information backup.
The user can backup recorded information at any moment according to the requirement to
release occupied hard disk space. When recorded information reaches 75 percent of hard disk
capacity, MDVR-02 automatically reminds the user for information backup.

2.2.4 Software Composition

System Software running on MDVR consists of operating system, supporting software and
application software.
Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8
Support software: MySQL 5.5 database
MDVR software
Main functions of MDVR-02 include: automatically Recognize and Record IP&Analog Voice,
Real Time Collect and Record Data.
Retrieving the recorded information: When replay or backup, the user can perform quickly
retrieving to recorded voice or data information according to selected time interval.
Information backup: The user can backup recorded information at any moment according to the
requirement to release occupied hard disk space. When recorded information reaches 75 percent
of hard disk capacity, MDVR-02 automatically reminds the user for information backup.

2.3 Running Procedures

2.3.1 Startup

First of all ensure that power supply of the server is normal and equipment is operational.
Turn on the power of MDVR.
Linux boot information of MDVR is displayed on the monitor. When login window appears
enter username and password to login Linux. Click icon “SC” in the desktop or input command
“/home/808EX/AFOC/Bin/SC” in a terminal to start application. Application should make
initialization which will take a period of time When application system login window pops up,
enter operator name and password to login application system, now system will run as single
master automatically and the following figure will be displayed.

2.3.2 Shutdown

MDVR exits
On MDVR，switch the monitor and keyboard to the MDVR which you want to exit, select
menu item “File” → “Exit” to make it exit.
Shutdown Linux
Firstly application program of server exits，and you can shutdown Linux operation system of
equipment. To shutdown Linux, click “Redhat” → “leave” → “shutdown”, or enter “init 0”
command in command terminal.
Turn off the power supply of each equipment.

3 MMI of MDVR Operator

3.1 Main Man-Machine Interface

After MDVR-02 login, main man-machine interface appears. Working status of the voice
channels and data channels are displayed on the main interface page shown in Figure 3-1 Main
Man-machine Interface of MDVR-02.
There are three tabs, in Console tab, every data channel is corresponding to a console. The
default names of voice channel are from 0 to 45, together with ip address in the label. When the
console is idle, the default names of data channel are CO0, CO1,…. CO45. When the console

7
is log in, the data channel name changed to the mode which operator chooses. Different icons
are used to distinguish data channels with voice channels and are used to distinguish different
status.

Figure 3-1 Main Man-machine Interface of MDVR-02

In IP tab, the default names of voice channel are from 46 to 63, together with ip address in the
label

Figure 3-2 Main Man-machine Interface of IP Tel

8
In ANALOG tab, the default names of voice channel are from 64 to 95, together with operation
method in the label

Figure 3-3 Main Man-machine Interface of ANALOG

3.2 Channel Configuration

3.2.1 Parameter Setting for Voice Channel

In main man-machine interface, click on the operation button of voice channel and the menu
will pop up.

Figure 3-4 Operating Options of Voice Channel

In Figure 3-4 Operating Options of Voice Channel, select “Config tel IP” from the list menu
and the configuration dialogue will be seen.
