Sip Paging: Multiple Algo Sip Endpoints (Using Multicast); Sip Paging: Multiple Speakers (Using Individual Sip Extensions); Sip Activated Notification Alerts - Algo 8198 User Manual

The Slave endpoints require a PoE network connection but do not require registration to
the communication server.
Multicasting can also be used to distribute loud ring or other alerting (e.g. safety,
security, or emergency events) over multiple Algo endpoints (e.g. 8180, 8186, 8188,
8198, 8128, 8201, 8301, and 8373).

SIP Paging: Multiple Algo SIP Endpoints (Using Multicast)

Multicast features in the 8198 SIP Ceiling Speaker require that only the ONE of the
speaker 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 stream from the SIP registered Master adapter, provided that only a
single audio stream will be active at any given time across any or all of the devices. If
multiple unique audio streams are needed simultaneously more than one Master device
will be required.
The Master speaker will simultaneously stream audio to the Slave speakers. The Slave
speaker do not require SIP extensions and do not need to register with the SIP
Communication Server.
To enable multicast streaming from the Master speaker, go to the web interface and
navigate to the Basic Settings > Multicast tab. Choose multicast mode
'Master/Sender' and pick 'All Call' for the Master single zone. The multicast addresses
pre-populated in the table, under Advanced Settings > Advanced Multicast section,
will work in most cases and should only be altered for rare cases.
To enable multicast monitoring in the Algo SIP endpoint Slaves, go to the web interface
for each endpoint and navigate to the Basic Settings > Multicast tab. This time though,
choose multicast mode 'Slave/Receiver'. There is no need to select a zone as the
endpoint will automatically monitor the 'All Call' zone IP address.
The page pre-announce tone is generated from the Master. The speaker volume can be
increased or decreased for each multicast Slave individually.
Note: See "Basic Setting Tab – Multicast" section below for more configuration
options and instructions.

SIP Paging: Multiple Speakers (Using Individual SIP extensions)

In some cases it may be desirable for every adapter to have a SIP extension. Multicast
may still be used to page multiple speakers, but each speaker can also be called
individually or generate a call when appropriately configured.
A speaker configured as a SIP Multicast Slave will give its highest priority to the 'Priority
Call' zone. Other than the 'Priority Call' zone, a page using its SIP extension, has priority
over all other muticast zones.
Communication Servers with the capability of dialing many SIP extensions
simultaneously for paging may be able to create zones by calling "paging groups" in
order to page telephone speakers in conjunction with speaker endpoints.

SIP Activated Notification Alerts

In addition to voice paging, the 8198 can play audio files for emergency, safety, and
security announcements, customer service, shift changes, etc.
