  • Page 4: Important Safety Information

    Algo recomienda que la instalación de este producto la realice un electricista calificado.
  • Page 5 Contact Algo for other methods of operational assurance. WET OR OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS The 8373 Zone Paging Adapter is intended for dry indoor locations only. For outdoor locations Algo offers weatherproof speakers and strobe lights. CAT5 or CAT6 connection wiring to an IEEE 802.3af compliant network PoE switch must not leave the building perimeter without adequate lightning protection.

  • Page 6: Overview

    SIP-enabled phone system and the traditional paging amplifier. When answering an inbound call, the 8373 can route the call’s audio to the amplifier, via an analog connector. 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.

  • Page 7: Typical Applications

    Algo IP speakers, strobe lights and paging adapters, in addition to multicast supported IP telephones. 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.

  • Page 8: Setup And Installation

    10. Make a call to the adapter by dialling its extension 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 9: 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.

    “zoned” paging system. The 8373 can be registered as one or more SIP extensions with the SIP phone system, and will auto-answer inbound calls to these extensions, play a pre-announce tone, and allow voice paging until disconnected.

  • Page 11: Sip Paging: Single Sip Extension

    8373 Zone Paging Adapter (FW 1.7) 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 12: 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. Each Slave relay channel can then be independently assigned to different paging zones.

  • Page 13: Sip Paging: Using Multicast

    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 14: Polycom Tm Group Paging

    The 8373 Zone Paging Adapter has been designed to support Polycom Group Paging. The 8373 Zone Paging Adapter can be added to a Polycom group page so that voice paging is heard over Polycom telephone speakers and overhead paging simultaneously.

  • Page 15: Tls For Sip Signaling And Provisioning

    This is useful for when third-party devices or attackers may try to intercept, replicate, or alter Algo products, and try to connect to the server. TLS protocol will ensure that third parties cannot read/modify any actual data. Previously security was less of a concern because phone systems were on isolated networks, but hosted services are becoming increasingly more common.
  • Page 16 8373 Zone Paging Adapter (FW 1.7) HTTPS Provisioning Provisioning can be secured by setting the ‘Download Method’ to ‘HTTPS’ (under the Advanced Settings > Provisioning tab). This prevents configuration files from being read by an unwanted third-party. This resolves the potential risk of having sensitive data stolen, such as admin passwords and SIP credentials.
  • Page 17 Important: In order for a SIP server to validate the Algo device, an additional certificate has to be manually installed on the 8301. To add this user certificate file use a ‘.pem’...

  • Page 18: Wiring Connections

    The wiring diagram below illustrates one of the most common use cases, where the Line Output of the 8373 is connected directly to the dry audio input on an amplifier with an input impedance between 600 Ohm and 10 kOhm. The amplifier output is then connected back to the 8373 Amp In terminals and the speaker runs get wired to Channel 1, 2 or 3.
  • Page 19 8373 Zone Paging Adapter (FW 1.7) Network Connection (Front) The 8373 provides a RJ45 jack for network connection. A cable run from the switch can be terminated to a modular jack with connection by patch cord, or terminated with a RJ45 plug.

  • Page 20: Blue Led Indicators

    A recessed reset button (RST) next to the Ethernet Jack can only be used to reset the 8373 Zone Paging Adapter at time of power up. To return all settings to a factory default, reboot or power cycle the 8373. Wait until the SIP LED flashes and then press and hold the reset button until the SIP LED begins a double flash pattern.

    Basic Settings Tab - Multicast (Master Settings) Multicast IP Addresses Each 8373 Zone Paging Adapter has its own IP address, and shares a common multicast IP and port number (multicast zone) for multicast packets. The master transmits to a configurable multicast zone, and the slave units listen to all the multicast zones assigned to them.
  • Page 27 1. Multicast IP addresses range: 224.0.0.0/4 (from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) 2. Port numbers range: 1 to 65535 3. By default, the 8373 Zone Paging Adapter is set to use the multicast IP address 224.0.2.60 and the port numbers 50000-50008 Make sure that the multicast IP address and port number do not conflict with other services and devices on the same network.

    When using multicast with other third-party devices that have a delay in their audio path, the audio on the 8373 may be heard slightly earlier than on these other devices. By addingaudio delay up to one second, the 8373 may be synchronized with other speakers or telephones that have greater latency.
