Algo 8198 User Manual page 32

Number of Zones
Select "basic" zones if configuring nine or fewer multicast zones or "expanded" to
configure up to 50 zones. The expanded zones have the same behaviour as the basic
slave zones, but are hidden by default to simplify the interface.
Multicast Type – Polycom Group Paging/Push-to-Talk
The 8198 Ceiling Speaker may receive multicast paging compatible with Polycom "on
premise group paging" protocol.
To configure the 8198 as a slave to play Polycom page announcements, select "Group
Page" or "Push-to-Talk". Then enter the Polycom Zone (IP Address and Port) that
matches the configuration of the Polycom phones and Channels. The "Default Channel"
is the target group in a Polycom paging environment.
The Polycom phone used as page audio source for the 8198(s), must be configured to
use either the G.711 or G.722 audio codec. The Polycom phone(s) must also be
configured with the "Compatibility" setting ("ptt.compatibilityMode") disabled in
order for this codec setting to be applied.
If using a Polycom phone as the Multicast master, a tone may be set for any of the 25
Polycom Groups configured on the Algo device. If an Algo device is used as a Multicast
master, a tone does not have to be set as the Algo master will provide its own tone.
Polycom Group Tones can be set in Advanced Settings > Advanced Multicast tab.
Slave Zones
Select one or more multicast zones for the 8198 to monitor. Note that multicast zone
priority is based on the zone definition list order (top to bottom).
