It is possible that some flash patterns of the 8138 SIP Strobe Light could trigger a seizure for some individuals under some conditions. High intensity patterns should only be selected if necessary for the 8138 to be effective.

  • Page 7: Overview

    SIP Extensions The 8138 connects to an on-premise or hosted communication server in the same way as a SIP telephone. To register the 8138 with the server requires the following information: 1. IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.111) or domain name (e.g. myserver.com) of the SIP Server 2.

  • Page 8: Terminal Block Reset

    PAGE. One or both may be used depending on the application. If the RING extension is called the 8138 will not answer. Instead, it will flash a light pattern until the inbound call stops ringing. Typically the RING extension is programmed as part of a hunt group so that it receives a ring signal simultaneously with one or more devices.

  • Page 14: Tls For Sip Signaling And Provisioning

    Group Paging The 8138 SIP Strobe Light has been designed to support Polycom Group Paging. The 8138 can be added to a Polycom Group Page so that voice paging is heard over Polycom telephone speakers and visually alerted simultaneously. TLS for SIP Signaling and Provisioning Algo devices that support firmware 1.6.4 or later support Transport Layer Security (TLS).
  • Page 15 8138 SIP Multicolor Strobe Light The TLS handshake happens to make sure that the client and server can trust each other, and once that trust is established, the two parties can freely send encrypted data and decrypt any data that they receive. After the TLS handshake process is complete, a TLS session is established, and the server and client can then exchange messages that are symmetrically encrypted with shared (pre-master) secret key.

    The device’s Status page will be available before and after log on. The section can be used to check 8138’s SIP Registration status of the Ring/Page extensions, Call Status, Multicast Mode, Relay Input Status, Proxy Status, and general MAC, IP, Netmask, Date/Time, and Timezone information.
  • Page 20 You can subscribe to just an ‘In-Use’ Alert Event as well, for which when the ring extension is called, the 8138 will only flash a light pattern once the ring is actually answered. Lastly, you can subscribe to both Alert Events by using ‘Both Ring & In-Use’, for which the 8138 will flash a light pattern, when the subscribed ring extension, is being called and when its in-use.
