Algo 8198 User Manual page 29

Number of Zones
Select "Basic Zones Only" if configuring nine or fewer multicast zones (shown beside
"Speaker Playback Zones") or select "Basic and Expanded Zones" to configure up to 50
zones. The expanded zones have the same behavior as the basic Slave zones, but are
hidden by default to simplify the interface.
Multicast Type
The 8198 Ceiling Speaker may broadcast multicast paging, compatible with Polycom
"on premise group paging" protocol and most multicast-enabled phones that use RTP
audio packets.
Select "Regular" if solely multicasting to Algo SIP endpoints and/or multicast-enabled
phones.
To multicast page announcements solely to Polycom phones, select "Polycom Group
Page" or "Push-to-Talk". Then, configure the 8198 with the "Polycom Zone" (IP Address
and Port) and "Polycom Default Channel".
Note: always ensure that the multicast settings on all Slaves match those of the Master.
Select "Regular RTP + Polycom Group Page/Push-to-Talk" to multicast page audio to
both Polycom phones, Algo SIP endpoints, and multicast-enabled phones.
Polycom Group Selection Mode
"Single Zone" always broadcasts on one pre-configured Polycom Group. In "DTMF
Selectable Zone" mode, the group is determined by the DTMF selection between 1 – 50.
Note: DTMF Codes for groups 10 and higher start with an "*".
Zone Selection Mode
'Single Zone' always broadcasts on one IP address. 'DTMF Selectable Zone' mode,
offers dynamic zone selection and requires only the master device to have a registered
SIP Extension. The zone definitions can be found in the Advanced Settings >
Advanced Multicast tab.
Zone Selection Mode
'Single Zone' mode always broadcasts on one IP address. Note that multiple SIP
extensions can be registed on the Master device. Each extension is mapped to a unique
zone, allowing zones to be called directly (for instance from speed-dial keys). See
Advanced Settings > Advanced Multicast tab.
