  • Page 4: Important Safety Information

    If the product is installed beyond the building perimeter or used in an inter-building application, the wiring connections must be protected against over voltage / transient. Algo recommends that this product be installed by a qualified electrician.
  • Page 5 Contact Algo for other methods of operational assurance. WET OR OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler 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

    1GB of memory is available in the device to store audio files, which can be played via the 8301 Line Out and, if desired, as a multicast to other Algo speakers, paging adapters and strobes.

  • Page 7: Applications

    Algo IP speakers, strobe lights and paging adapters, in addition to multicast supported IP telephones. The Line output of the 8301 is connected directly to the dry audio input on an amplifier with an input impedance between 600 Ohm and 10 kOhm.

  • Page 8: Setup And Installation

    3. Connect the adapter Line Out to an amplifier using the mini-XLR connector or pluggable terminal block. 4. Access the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler web page by entering the IP address into a browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox or Edge) and login using the default password algo .

  • Page 9: Installation

    The 8301 is configurable using the web interface or provisioning features. 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 8301 will default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111.

  • Page 10: Features

    8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler FW 1.7 Features SIP Paging: One 8301 The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler can be registered as a third party SIP extension with a hosted or enterprise Communications Server supporting 3 party SIP endpoints. To register the adapter with the SIP server, use the Basic Settings > SIP tab in the web interface to enter the Communication Server IP address, extension, username, and password.

  • Page 11: Sip Paging : Multiple Algo Sip Endpoints (Using Individual Sip Extensions )

    Algo SIP endpoints, but each endpoint can also be called individually or generate a call when appropriately configured. An Algo SIP endpoint configured as a SIP Multicast Slave will give its highest priority to a page using its SIP extension.
  • Page 12 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler FW 1.7 • Zone 6 • Music There are two options for Paging to multiple zones: ‘DTMF Selectable Mode’ or via multiple page extensions. The ‘DTMF Selectable Mode’ offers a dynamic page zone selection and requires only the Master device to have a registered SIP Extension.

  • Page 13: Sip Ring Event

    Set Monitoring Mode to ‘Monitor "Ring" event on registered SIP extension’ on the Basic Settings > SIP tab. When a call is made to the SIP extension the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler will play the selected audio file from memory. Often, the 8301 will be part of a hunt group or ring group to ring in conjunction with a telephone.

  • Page 14: 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 15 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler 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 16 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler FW 1.7 SIP Signaling (and RTP Audio) SIP signalling is secured by setting ‘SIP Transportation’ to ‘TLS’ (under the Advanced Settings > Advanced SIP tab). Setting it to ‘TLS’ ensures that the SIP traffic will be encrypted.
  • 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’ filetype extension and have the file named ‘sipclient’. This is done by manually adding a file named ‘sipclient.pem’, which contains a device certificate and private key, to the...

  • Page 18: Wiring Connections

    Line Output of the 8301 is connected directly to the dry audio input on an amplifier with an input impedance between 600 Ohm and 10 kOhm. The 8301 output level can be adjusted to match the amplifier’s input specification.
  • Page 19 1204 Volume Control Switch Install the 1204 by connecting a single pair twisted wire to its terminal block (not polarity sensitive) and wire it to the Relay Input on the 8301. For more details check the Algo 1204 Getting Started Sheet.
  • Page 20 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler FW 1.7 1205 Audio Interface Two pairs of wires connect the 1205 Audio Interface to the 8301. One pair is for balanced audio and one pair is for communicating the rotary switch position. Connect the 8301 Relay Input switch terminals of the 1205 Audio Interface to the “RELAY IN”...
  • Page 21 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler FW 1.7 Network Connection The 8301 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 22: Blue Led Indicators

    A recessed reset button (RST) next to the Ethernet Jack can only be used to reset the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler at time of power up. To return all the settings to the factory default for the 8301, reboot or power cycle the 8301. Wait until the SIP LED flashes and then press and hold the reset button until the SIP LED begins a double flash pattern.

  • Page 23: Web Interface Status And Login

    Web Interface Status and Login Web Interface Login The web interface requires a password which is ‘algo’ by default. This password can be changed in the Admin tab after logging in the first time. Web Interface is accessed by entering 8301’s IP Address into the web browse.
