Features
SIP Paging: One 8198 (with or without Satellites)
The 8198 SIP Ceiling Speaker can be registered as a third party SIP extension with a
hosted or enterprise Communications Server supporting 3rd 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. This information will be available from the IT Administrator.
If VLAN is used, navigate to the Advanced Settings > Network tab to set VLAN
options.
Important: Once the speaker is using VLAN you will need to be on the same
VLAN to access the web interface.
The speaker may now be accessed by dialing its assigned extension from a telephone,
device, or client. The adapter will auto-answer, play the default pre-announce tone, and
allow voice paging until disconnected.
There are a number of configurable adapter options:
•
Increase or Decrease Speaker Volume
•
Enable AGC (automatic gain control)
•
Enable Ambient Noise Monitoring (speaker volume adapts to background noise)
•
Enable Talkback
•
Customize pre-announce tone
The best voice paging quality and intelligibility will be obtained using the G.722
wideband audio codec. Most current IP telephones support G.722 which is sometimes
referred to as "HD" voice or audio.
SIP Ring Event
Set Monitoring Mode to 'Monitor Ring' and enter credentials. When a call is made to the
SIP extension the 8198 will play the selected audio file from memory. Often, the 8198
will be part of a hunt group or ring group to ring in confunction with a telephone.
Multicast Overview
In addition to the ring and page features, the 8198 is able to send and receive IP audio
multicast messages over the network to support larger deployment for both paging and
ring/notification. This provides a scalable and efficient method of building large scale
notification solutions.
An Algo 8198 can be configured as a Master endpoint. When called from a phone, the
SIP registered 8198 auto-answers and plays the page audio over its speaker.
Simultaneously, the registered 8198 endpoint broadcasts the audio over the network
using RTP multicast to any number/combination of Algo IP speakers, paging adapters,
and strobes as required.
