Detector Polycom VVX phones can be configured to provide ring audio to the headset jack instead of the speaker. The Algo 2506 module detects the low-level audio from the headset jack and provides an isolated signal to activate an 8128 SIP Strobe Light, 8180 SIP Audio Alerter, 8186 SIP Horn Speaker, or 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker directly instead of using SIP.
Ensure that a PoE port is used for power. 4. Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the RJ jack on the 2506 and the other end into the HEADSET jack on the Polycom phone.
The 8128 does not require any web configuration to operate with the 2506. Connect the Algo audio device to the network via an Ethernet cable at the back of the device. Ensure that a PoE port is used for power.
Set the “Speaker Terminal Function” to “Relay Input”. Ensure that “Relay Input Polarity” is set to “Normally Open Contact”. Other configuration options can be set as desired.

4. Plug the coiled handset cord into the RJ jack of the 2506. 5. Plug the other end of the handset cord into the HEADSET jack of the Polycom VVX phone. Ensure that the ring signal on the Polycom VVX phone is sent to the headset jack.
When using multicast, ensure that all the alerting devices are connected to the same subnet and VLAN. The alerting device that is connected directly to the 2506 should be set as a multicast master and all the additional devices as multicast slaves.
Testing Call the Polycom VVX phone to activate the 8128/8180/8186/8188. Ensure only one alerting device is connected directly to the 2506 at a time. Troubleshooting Wiring Connections To verify that the 8128/8180/8186/8188 is powered and configured correctly, short the wire pair on the input of the alerting device and see if an audio/visual alert is triggered.
