This is from ODS's press release.
http://www.ods.com/news/121698.shtml
A breakthrough technique, called Stream Recovery, resolves
the conflicting requirements between a customer's need for
complete privacy and their occasional need to diagnose
communication problems, or to allow law enforcement to
build prosecution files against criminal employees. Key
recovery schemes and the recently proposed "Private Doorbell"
initiatives have been strongly criticized by experts because
they are not designed to selectively unlock messages of
suspected criminals. ODS Networks primary objective was
to release a monitoring capability in CryptoWatch that
protects the rights of innocent third parties in a criminal
investigation. CryptoWatch has the ability to filter out
individual computer conversations rather than exposing an
entire data stream in a VPN implementation. Stream Recovery
also logs and copies the data to a separate device for storage.
This stops any attempt by law enforcement or internal network
managers who try to access data outside their "need to know"
boundaries.

There are several detailed manuals on the ODS site which
describe how to set up the various features of their products.
