What you Need for Working with Atropos-SB
First of all, you need a computer, equipped with a sound card. A Full Duplex card is obligatory - it facilitates simultaneous playing and recording of sound data. If you have bought your PC recently, most probably, it has exactly such a card. If not, then it is advisable to buy one of its kind. Full Duplex cards are readily available in the market at a reasonably low cost. The system "Atropos-SB" can work with sound cards of old versions, but with the lack of ability to record and play simultaneously. Depending on your applications, this may not suit your needs. Hence, it is strongly recommended to install a Full Duplex sound card..
If you plan to use "Atropos-SB" system as 1-channel voice notebook, it is necessary to connect only the microphone to the sound card and set the mode for 1-channel.
To use 2 channels, install simplest "Stereo - 2xMono" connector. If you want to use a microphone in 2-channel mode, it must have a primary amplifier of 250 mV.
If your telephone has a line output, the sound card can be connected to it straightaway. If your computer is equipped with a modem, you may take its audio output signal (most of the new generation modems offer this feature).
It is possible to use special adapter for working with telephone line. Such adapter should match external sources of sound signal (telephone, radio station and etc.) with the sound card.
If you plan use Atropos-SB in Web-monitoring or Web-report mode your PCs must have any IP-connection (e.g. direct modem connection, LAN, Internet).
ATTENTION!!! Don't connect a telephone line to the computer straight. Overtwise damaging of your computer is possible!
