Using Multicast - Algo 8305 User Manual

4.5 Using Multicast Page Zones
The 8305 Multi-Interface IP Paging Adapter can listen to nine basic multicast zones; however, up to 50 are available
(See Additional Features → More Page Extensions for more details). The multicast IP addresses define these zones.
By default these zones have the names below but can be used however you prefer. When set as a multicast receiver,
zones have a priority hierarchy where zones higher on the list will be treated with higher priority, with Music being the
lowest priority. When set as a multicast transmitter, event priority is based on the event type that initiated the
multicast rather than the output multicast channel that will be active.

There are two options for paging to multiple zones:
1. DTMF Selectable Mode: Has a dynamic page zone selection and requires only the transmitting device to have
a registered SIP extension. To page, dial the SIP extension of the transmitter and dial the desired DTMF page
zone (e.g., 1, 2, etc.) on the keypad. DTMF digits and their corresponding zone numbers can be found in the
Advanced Settings → Advanced Multicast tab of the 8305 web interface.
2. Multiple page extensions: Multiple SIP extensions can be registered on the transmitter. Each extension is
mapped to a unique zone, allowing zones to be called directly. See Additional Features → More Page
Extensions tab of the 8305 web interface for more details.
