  • Page 8: Important Safety Information

    Paging Adapter should be routinely tested. SNMP supervision is recommended for assurance of proper operation. DRY INDOOR LOCATION ONLY The 8373 Zone Paging Adapter is intended for dry indoor locations only. For outdoor locations Algo offers weatherproof speakers and strobe lights.

  • Page 9: About The Algo 8373 Zone Paging Adapter

    One amplified audio stream can then be fed back into the 8373 and sent to one or more of the three speaker Channels at a time. It is important to note that the 8373 doesn’t allow different audio streams to play on two...

    3 speaker channels, creating a “zoned” paging system. The Line Output of the 8373 is connected directly to the dry audio input on the amplifier with an input impedance between 600 Ohm and 10 kOhm.

    7. Make a call to the adapter by dialling the page SIP extension of the adapter from a telephone. A prompt tone will be heard when the 8373 answers – press “1” to call zone 1, which will activate the relay for Channel 1 based on the default settings.

  • Page 12: Installation

    After boot up the blue lights on the front will turn off and the adapter will have obtained an IP address. If there is no DHCP server the 8373 Zone Paging Adapter will default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111.

  • Page 13: Sip Paging: Introduction

    8373 Zone Paging Adapter (FW 1.5) SIP Paging: Introduction The 8373 has only one audio output, and therefore can only support a single unique audio stream at any given time. This is ideal when connecting to a single zone amplifier that also only supports a single audio path at a time.

  • Page 14: Sip Paging: Single Sip Extension

    8373 Zone Paging Adapter (FW 1.5) SIP Paging: Single SIP Extension Up to 50 zones can be assigned on each of the three 8373 Channels. The 8373 will auto-answer an inbound call to the SIP extension, e.g. 1000, and a brief tone will prompt the caller to dial a DTMF key to select the desired zone.

  • Page 15: Sip Paging: Multiple Sip Extensions

    8373 Zone Paging Adapter (FW 1.5) SIP Paging: Multiple SIP Extensions Multiple SIP extensions can also be registered on the 8373, one for each zone in use, using the tab: Advanced Setting  More Page Extensions. This allows the advantage of dialing directly to a zone without needing to enter DMTF, allowing the use of speed-dial keys.

  • Page 16: Sip Paging: 9 Zones Using One Amplifier

    SIP Paging: 9 Zones using One Amplifier To create more than 3 zones, additional 8373’s may be connected to the single amplifier via the AMP IN on the back of each of the 8373’s. The first 8373 should be assigned as a Multicast Master, and the remainder as Slaves.
  • Page 17 Any combination of Algo SIP endpoints can be integrated using multicast, or kept independent by registering additional SIP extensions on each. For instance, in addition to a single 8373 driving an amplifier and creating 3 speaker zones, any number of 8188 Ceiling Speakers can also be added as Multicast Slaves, and automatically play the same audio as was sent to the amplifier &...

  • Page 18: Sip Paging: Using Multicast

    Thus, the slave adapters do not require SIP extensions and do not need to register with the SIP Communication Server. Each of the 3 relay channels on the 8373 can be assigned to any zone, or group of zones, as described in the other examples above, and likewise, each of the other Algo SIP endpoints can be assigned to one or more zones.

  • Page 19: Multicast Page Zones

    8373 Zone Paging Adapter (FW 1.5) Multicast Page Zones The 8373 Zone Paging Adapter supports nine “basic” multicast zones. These zones are defined by the multicast IP addresses. Somewhat arbitrarily, these zones are defined below but may be used in other ways. The important consideration is that there is a priority hierarchy –...
