Lawful Interception with [[Tmedia]] running [[Toolpack]] software is capable of performing lawful interception of calls, based on ETSI 201 671 v2-1-1 standard.
#REDIRECT [[Tmedia_Lawful_Intercept]]
 
==Functionality overview==
 
[[Image:Lawful-intercept-details.png|thumb|360px|Schematic showing interception of a call already routed with a Tmedia]]
 
Lawful interception will identify a call to intercept, and send the following information to one or multiple Law Enforcement agencies:
* information on an intercepted call (calling/called numbers, timestamps, call duration, etc.)
* audio from both directions of the call
 
Interception of a call is triggered by:
* A phone number to monitor
* A date/time period
A call that matches the number and the time period will be intercepted.
 
==Toolpack implementation==
With a [[Tmedia]] system running the [[Toolpack]] software (version 2.7 or above), lawful interception is triggered by a routing script. This script uses the information from a configuration file (csv format), to determine which phone number must be intercepted during which time period.
 
A call that matches the number (calling or called number) and the time period will be intercepted.
 
During the interception, two outgoing calls toward an interception [[NAP]] will be placed, each containing a copy of the audio of one direction of the intercepted call. The specified [[NAP]] must be configured to point to the Law Enforcement Agency, generally using ISDN trunks.
 
In addition, information records (containing general call information like calling/called number, timestamps, and call duration, etc.) will be sent to the Law Enforcement Agency. That information is sent as data files (format specified by ETSI 201 671 v2-1-1) to a FTP server (Toolpack also supports SFTP for more security).
 
Lawful Intercept configuration (NAP to use, login information of the FTP/SFTP server, target numbers to intercept, etc.) can be configured in the [[Toolpack]] Web Portal.
See the following page for more information: [[configuring_lawful_interception|Configure Lawful Interception in Toolpack]].
 
==Information to get from Law Enforcement Agencies==
In order to use Lawful interception in Toolpack, the Law Enforcement Agency must provide:
* List of targets to intercept:
** Unique target identifier (defined as LIID in ETSI 201 671 v2-1-1)
** Target phone number
** Start and end date/time for the interception
* ISDN trunks (or eventually SS7 trunks or SIP path) to carry intercepted call audio
* FTP/SFTP server address, user name, password and directory path to use for uploading call information (defined as IRI records in ETSI 201 671 v2-1-1)
 
This information must be entered in Toolpack configuration as explained in the following page: [[configuring_lawful_interception|Configure Lawful Interception in Toolpack]].
