Important Safety Information
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION
If used in an emergency communication application, the 8301 Paging
Adapter should be routinely tested. SNMP supervision is recommended
for assurance of proper operation.
DRY INDOOR LOCATION ONLY
The 8301 Paging Adapter is intended for dry indoor locations only. For
outdoor locations Algo offers weatherproof speakers and strobe lights.
CAT5 or CAT6 connection wiring to an IEEE 802.3af compliant
network PoE switch must not leave the building perimeter
without adequate lightning protection.
No wiring connected to the 8301 Paging Adapter may leave the
building perimeter without adequate lightning protection.

About the Algo SIP 8301 Paging Adapter
The 8301 Paging Adapter is a PoE SIP compliant and multicast
capable IP adapter designed for integrating consumer, commercial,
and professional audio amplifiers into an IP based Unified
Communications environment for voice paging and notification.
Dual SIP extensions provide both voice paging and notification (ring)
capability. One or both extensions can be registered with any
Communication Server (hosted or enterprise) that supports 3rd party
SIP Endpoints.
Connection to the amplifier is made using a balanced and isolated
line level output provided as both a XLR-mini connection and
pluggable terminal block for twisted pair wiring. Audio level can be
adjusted manually or set to a defined level independent of input.
Multiple adapters in a SIP environment require only one adapter to
register as a SIP extension. Multicasting capabilities allow the SIP
registered adapter to page and simultaneously stream multicast
audio to the other adapters.
The 8301 Paging Adapter is configured using central provisioning
features or by accessing a web interface using browsers such as
Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer.
What is Included
8301 Paging Adapter
Network Cable
Wall Mount Bracket
What is not Included
Optional Wall Switch (Algo 1202 or 1203)
Optional 2504 Output XLR-Mini Female to XLR Male
Optional 2505 Input XLR-Mini Male to XLR Female

Typical Application
The 8301 Paging Adapter is typically used to connect an existing
paging amplifier to a UC environment either as a SIP extension or
multicast endpoint.
The Line Output of the 8301 is connected directly to the dry audio
input on an amplifier with an input impedance between 600 Ohm and
10 kOhm.
For amplifiers connected directly to the dry page port of an existing
telephone system, the 8301 will provide a very similar interface
providing both dry page audio and dry contact closure to activate the
amplifier (if required).
For amplifiers connected to a FXS port or ATA through a “telephone
answering device” the 8301 will replace the answering device and
eliminate the need for a FXS port or ATA.

Getting Started - Quick Install & Test
This guide provides important safety information which should be
read thoroughly before permanently installing the adapter.
1. Connect the 8301 Paging Adapter to an IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE
network switch. The blue lights on the front will remain on until boot
up is completed –about 30 seconds.
2. After the blue lights turn off, press the reset switch (RST) to hear the
IP address over the analog outputs (eg. headset can be connected to
the green output port). The IP address may also be discovered by
downloading the Algo locator tool to find Algo devices on your
network: www.algosolutions.com/locator
3. Connect the adapter LINE OUT to an amplifier using the mini-XLR
connector or pluggable terminal block.
4. Access the 8301 Paging Adapter web page by entering the IP address
into a browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox etc) and login using the default
password algo.
5. Enter the IP address for the SIP server into the SIP Domain field
under the BASIC SETTINGS > SIP tab.
6. Enter the page SIP extension and password. (Note the adapter
supports two SIP extensions. The page extension auto-answers for
paging. The ring extension plays a WAV file without answering.)
7. Make a call to the adapter by dialling the page SIP extension of the
adapter from a telephone.

Installation
The 8301 is wall mountable in a horizontal orientation using the
supplied bracket.
Example installation on ½” drywall:
Use appropriate drywall anchors for #8 screws,
and pre-drill per anchor manufacturer’s
instructions. Insert 4 anchors into the wall, and
then attach bracket to wall anchors using #8
screws. Snap the 8301 into the bracket.
Connect the 8301 to a PoE network switch.
Connect the audio output of the 8301 to an amplifier using either the
mini-XLR output (male pins) or pluggable terminal block. The 8301
provides a dry audio output and dry contact closure.
An optional XLR output audio cable (Algo 2504) may be ordered for
audio amplifiers using standard XLR input connectors.
Web Interface
The 8301 Paging Adapter is configurable using the web interface or
provisioning features.
After boot up the blue lights on the front will turn off and the adapter
will have obtained an IP address. If there is no DHCP server the 8301
Paging Adapter will default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111.
The IP address may be discovered by downloading the Algo locator
tool to find Algo devices on your network:
www.algosolutions.com/locator
Enter the IP address (eg. 192.168.1.111) into a browser such as
Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer (other than IE9). The
web interface should be visible and the default password will be algo
in lower case letters.
