Key Features

SIP Extensions
The 8180 connects to an on-premise or hosted communication server in the same way as
a SIP telephone. To register the 8180 with the server requires the following information:
1. IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) or domain name (e.g. myserver.com) of the SIP
Server
2. SIP extension (e.g. 3790)
3. Authentication ID
4. Password
The 8180 supports two SIP extensions which behave differently – RING and PAGE. One
or both may be used depending on the application. If the RING extension is called the
8180 will not answer. Instead, it will play the selected WAV file until the ringing stops.
Typically the RING extension is programmed as part of a hunt group so that it receives a
ring signal simultaneously with one or more phones to function as a loud ringer in noisy or
large areas.
If the PAGE extension is called, the 8180 will answer and allow paging over its internal
speaker. When the 8180 answers it will play a configurable tone to the caller so they know
when they can begin speaking. The same tone is also played over the speaker before the
announcement. If Paging to a single 8180, talkback may be enabled using the integrated
microphone. The audio direction is determined by the speech activity of the caller.
Loudness
Equipped with a high-efficiency integrated amplifier and tuned high-quality loudspeaker,
the 8180 is typically eight times louder than a telephone speaker. If the optional Algo Horn
Speaker is used, then the 8180 can be 20 times louder.
Multicasting
Allows multiple units to simultaneously play Ring or Page audio. One 8180 may be
configured as a 'Master' device and broadcast an audio stream to any
number/combination of Algo IP speaker, paging adapter, or strobe endpoint configured as
multicast 'Slaves'. This feature provides scalability without requiring each endpoint Slave
to be registered with a SIP extension.

Polycom Group Paging
The 8180 support Polycom Group Paging. The 8180 can be added to a Polycom Group
Page so that voice paging is heard over Polycom telephone speakers and overhead
paging simultaneously.
Ambient Noise Compensation
The 8180's can automatically adjusts loud ring and paging volume to compensate for
background ambient noise. If 'Ambient Noise Compensation' is enabled, the alert volume
