About the Algo 8301 Paging Adapter &
Scheduler
The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler 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. The 8301 is also a Scheduler. Relying on the NTP server,
the 8301 can provide bells, tones, and customer service or
emergency announcements for schools, retail, manufacturing,
healthcare, etc. 1GB of memory is available in the device to store
WAV files, which can be played via the 8301 Line Out and, if desired,
as a multicast to other Algo speakers, paging adapters and strobes.
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 & Scheduler is configured using central
provisioning features or by accessing a web interface using browsers
such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer.

Typical Application
The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler 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 & Scheduler 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 & Scheduler 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 types of SIP extensions. The page extension auto-
answers for voice page announcements. The ring extension plays an
audio WAV file over the speaker without answering.)
7. Make a call to the adapter by dialling the page SIP extension of the
adapter from a telephone.

Page 13 www.algosolutions.com
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 & Scheduler 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 & Scheduler 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.

Page 14 www.algosolutions.com
SIP Paging: One Adapter
The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler can be registered as a third
party SIP extension with a hosted or enterprise Communications
Server supporting 3rd party SIP endpoints.
To register the adapter with the SIP server, use the Basic Settings >
SIP tab in the web interface to enter the Communication Server IP
address, extension, username, and password. This information will be
available from the IT Administrator.
If VLAN is used, navigate to the Advanced Settings >Network tab
to set VLAN options.
(Note, once the adapter is using VLAN you will need to be on the same
VLAN to access the web interface.)
The adapter may now be accessed by dialling its assigned extension
from a telephone, device, or client. The adapter will auto-answer, play
the default WAV pre-announce tone, and allow voice paging until
disconnected.
There are a number of configurable adapter options:
Increase or Decrease Speaker Volume
Enable AGC (automatic gain control)
Customize pre-announce tone WAV file
The best voice paging quality and intelligibility will be obtained using
the G.722 wideband audio codec. Most current IP telephones support
G.722 which is sometimes referred to as “HD” voice or audio.

SIP Paging: Multiple Algo SIP Endpoints
(Using Multicast)
Multicast features in the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler require
that only the first adapter 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 adapter will simultaneously stream audio to the Slave
adapters. The Slave adapters do not require SIP extensions and do
not need to register with the SIP Communication Server.
To enable multicast streaming from the Master adapter, 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.
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.

SIP Paging: Multiple Algo SIP Endpoints
(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 Algo SIP
endpoints, but each endpoint can also be called individually or
generate a call when appropriately configured.
An Algo SIP endpoint configured as a SIP Multicast Slave will give its
highest priority to a page using its SIP extension.
Communication Servers with the capability of dialling 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.
Background Music Streaming
The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler, set as a Multicast master, can
stream background music to other Algo slave devices on the network
from a music source connected to the 8301’s AUX Input.
When multicasting music, ensure that Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
is ‘Disabled’ in Basic Settings > Features tab on all the slave
devices. Meanwhile, on the Multicast master device, select ‘G.722’ for
the Master Output Codec setting in Advanced Settings >
Advanced Multicast tab.

Page 17 www.algosolutions.com
Multicast Page Zones
The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler supports nine “basic” multicast
zones. These zones are defined by the multicast IP addresses.
Somewhat arbitrarily, these zones are defined below but may be
used in other ways. The important consideration is that there is a
priority hierarchy –streaming activity on a zone higher on the list will
be treated as a higher priority than a zone lower on the list –with
music being the lowest priority.
Priority
All Call
Zone 1
Zone 2
Zone 3
Zone 4
Zone 5
Zone 6
Music
There are two options for Paging to multiple zones: “DTMF Selectable
Mode” or via multiple page extensions.
The “DTMF Selectable Mode” offers a dynamic page zone selection
and requires only the Master device to have a registered SIP
Extension. To page, dial the SIP extension of the Master device and
then dial the desired DTMF page zone (e.g. 1, 2, etc.) on the keypad.

Alternatively, multiple SIP extensions can be registered on the
Master device. Each extension is mapped to a unique zone, allowing
zones to be called directly (for instance from speed-dial keys)
without the use of DTMF. See “Additional Features > More Page
Extensions”.
“Expanded” zones can also be enabled, allowing up to 50 zones in
total. These have the same behaviours as the basic zones, but are
hidden by default to simplify the interface.
PolycomTM Group Paging
The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler has been designed to support
Polycom Group Paging.
The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler can be added to a Polycom
Group Page so that voice paging is heard over Polycom telephone
speakers and overhead paging simultaneously.
Polycom Group Paging can be configured on the Basic Settings >
Multicast tab.
The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler may be accessed remotely via
SIP and may generate a multicast page within the LAN sending voice
page to both Algo paging endpoints and Polycom telephones. Audio
delay may be added to the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler to
synchronize with voice page over the Polycom telephone speakers.

SIP Ring Event
Set Monitoring Mode to "Monitor Ring". When a call is made to the
SIP extension the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler will play the
selected WAV file from memory. Often, the 8301 will be part of a
hunt group or ring group to ring in conjunction with a telephone.
SIP Activated Notification Alerts
In addition to voice paging, the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler can
play audio files for emergency, safety, and security announcements,
customer service, shift changes, etc.
Audio WAV files can be stored in adaptor memory and played over a
speaker in response to an event such as a ring, relay input or
automated schedule, and also multicast to other Algo SIP endpoints
on the network. See Additional Features > Emergency Alerts and
Additional Features > Input/Output tabs for more details.
