Overview

Introduction

The 8180 SIP Audio Alerter is a SIP compliant & multicast IP speaker for
loud ringing, alerting, and voice paging. The 8180 can be integrated with
any Communication Server (hosted or enterprise) that supports 3rd party
SIP Endpoints or multicast paging.
For loud ringing, the 8180 is assigned a Ring extension. When this SIP
extension is called the 8180 will play a WAV file (tone, announcement,
etc.) over the speaker. Several ring tones are included in the 8180 and
custom WAV files may also be uploaded (e.g. safety, security, emergency
alerts). For extra volume, noisy, or wet locations, the optional 1186
horn speaker can be used and connected to the 8180 Speaker Output.
More features are available under advanced settings for multiple ring
extensions (up to 5) and rules-based ringing based on CLID.
For voice paging a separate Page extension can be assigned. When
this SIP extension is called, the 8180 will auto-answer and play the
callers voice announcement over the speaker. The 8180 supports G.722
wideband HD Voice for enhanced intelligibility and clarity.
A multicast feature allows one 8180 to broadcast page or ring audio
to multiple Slave 8180 endpoints. Multicasting allows for a scalable
and cost effective means of building large scale paging and alerting
solutions, with minimal network traffic and as few as one SIP extension
for the registered Master endpoint sending the multicast. Any number
and combination of Algo IP speakers, paging adapters and strobes can
be part of an RTP multicast. Polycom Group Page and SA Announce
are other multicast formats supported in the 8180 and related Algo
endpoints.
