DRY INDOOR LOCATION ONLY The 8301 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.
About the Algo SIP 8301 Paging Adapter The 8301 Paging Adapter is a PoE SIP compliant and multicast capable IP adapter designed for integrating consumer, commercial, and professional audio amplifiers into an IP based Unified Communications environment for voice paging and notification.
UC environment either as a SIP extension or multicast endpoint. 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.
3. Connect the adapter LINE OUT to an amplifier using the mini-XLR connector or pluggable terminal block. 4. Access the 8301 Paging Adapter web page by entering the IP address into a browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox etc) and login using the default password algo.
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 Paging Adapter will default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111.
SIP Paging: One Adapter The 8301 Paging Adapter 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 Paging: Multiple Algo SIP Endpoints (Using Multicast) Multicast features in the 8301 Paging Adapter require that only the first adapter be registered as a SIP extension. Additional Algo SIP endpoints, including any combination of paging adapters, speakers, and strobes, may be added as multicast slaves receiving a...

Multicast IP Addresses Each 8301 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.
Settings) Multicast Mode (Master/Sender Selected) If master is enabled the 8301 Paging Adapter will broadcast an IP stream when activated in addition to playing the audio. (Note that the 8301 Paging Adapter cannot be both a multicast master and slave simultaneously).
The 8301 Paging Adapter may broadcast multicast paging, compatible with Polycom “on premise group paging” protocol and most multicast-enabled phones that use RTP audio packets.

Audio Delay When paging to the 8301 Paging Adapter as well as other third party devices, the low latency of the 8301 Paging Adapter may cause the audio to lead other devices. By adding audio delay up to one second, the 8301 Paging Adapter may be synchronized with other endpoints or telephones that have greater latency.
Polycom phones and Channels. The “Default Channel” is the target group in a Polycom paging environment. The Polycom phone used as page audio source for the 8301 Paging Adapter(s) must be configured to use either the G.711 or G.722 audio codec.
The input relay to the Algo 8301 Paging Adapter can be prompted by any normally open or normally closed switch. Algo offers the 1202 Call Button or the 1203 Call Switch with supervision. Via supervision settings, notification actions can also be triggered if the input switch is disconnected.
Action – Play Tone When the 8301 receives input, a tone or a pre-recorded WAV file will play over speaker, or multicast if enabled. This function can be used to call support in service environments, notify about an emergency at a specific location in medical/educational facilities, or sound an alarm during an intrusion.
For example, a tone could sound over the speaker(s), or a private pre-recorded message could be sent to a specified phone extension.

3. File algom[MAC address].conf can now be uploaded on the Provisioning server. The specific configuration file will only be downloaded by the 8301 Paging Adapter with the MAC address specified in the configuration file name. Since all the necessary settings can be included in this file, the 8301 will be ready to work immediately after the configuration file is downloaded.
Ring Tone Files Included in Memory The 8301 Paging Adapter includes several pre-loaded WAV files that can be selected to play for ring events. The web interface allows selection of the WAV file and also the ability to play the WAV file immediately over a speaker for testing.
