Algo 8198 User Manual page 57

Master Output Codec (Master Mode)
Audio encoding format used by the Master device when sending output to the slaves.
Master Output Packetization Time (Master Mode)
The size of the audio packets sent by the Master to the Slaves. The default of 20ms is
recommended, unless a different value is specifically required for compatibility with other
devices.
RTCP Port Selection
Select the port on which RTCP packets will be sent or received. If using the 'Next Higher
Port' option, ensure that the default multicast zone definitions are modified such that
zones are only assigned to even-numbered ports, leaving the next higher odd-numbered
ports free for RTCP packets.
Zone Definition
The "Expanded" Slave zones can be enabled/disabled in Basic Settings > Multicast.
Default IP addresses and ports may be revised for any given zone in the table.
Important: Ensure that the Address and Port settings are the same for all master and
slave devices.
Page Tone and Page Volume
Master Mode: By default, the same tone can be set for all Slave zones in the Basic
Settings > Features tab. Unique paging tones may be revised for any given slave zone
in the table above.
Slave Mode: When an Algo device is the multicast Master, a page tone will play on the
Slave device, so it is recommended to set the Slave tone to "None". If a page is received
from a non-Algo device that doesn't send a tone, a tone can be inserted on the Slaves
(above) each time they detect page audio starting, allowing them to play a tone.
By default, the same page volume can be set for all Slave zones in the Basic Settings >
Features tab. Unique page volumes may be revised on a per-zone basis in the table
above. For instance, emergency pages can be louder on certain Slave speakers.
Polycom Slave Tones
Available if Multicast Slave and "Polycom Group Page" or "Polycom Push-to-Talk" are
selected in the Basic Settings > Multicast tab. A tone may be set for any of the 25
Polycom Groups. If using an Algo device as a Multicast master, it is recommended to
set the slave tones to "None" to avoid conflicts, as the Algo devices already multicast a
tone by default.
