Important Safety Information
This product is powered by a certified limited power source (LPS), Power
over Ethernet (PoE); through CAT5 or CAT6 connection wiring to an IEEE
802.3af compliant network PoE switch. The product is intended for
installation indoors. All wiring connections to the product must be in the
same building. If the product is installed beyond the building perimeter or
used in an inter-building application, the wiring connections must be
protected against overvoltage / transient. Algo recommends that this
product be installed by a qualified electrician.
If you are unable to understand the English language safety information
then please contact Algo by email for assistance before attempting an
installation [e-mail].
Consignes de Sécurité Importantes
Ce produit est alimenté par une source d’alimentation limitée certifiée
(alimentation par Ethernet); des câbles de catégorie 5 et 6 joignent un
commutateur réseau à alimentation par Ethernet homologué IEEE 802.3af.
Le produit est conçu pour être installé à l’intérieur. Tout le câblage rattaché
au produit doit se trouver dans le même édifice. Si le produit est installé
au-delà du périmètre de l’édifice ou utilisé pour plusieurs édifices, le
câblage doit être protégé des surtensions transitoires. Algo recommande
qu’un électricien qualifié se charge de l’installation de ce produit.

Wichtige Sicherheitsinformationen
Dieses Produkt wird durch eine zertifizierte Stromquelle mit begrenzter
Leistung (LPS –Limited Power Source) betrieben. Die Stromversorgung
erfolgt über Ethernet (PoE –Power over Ethernet). Dies geschieht durch
eine Cat-5-Verbindung oder eine Cat-6-Verbindung zu einer IEEE 802.3af-
konformen Ethernet-Netzwerkweiche. Das Produkt wurde konzipiert für die
Installation innerhalb eines Gebäudes. Alle Kabelverbindungen zum
Produkt müssen im selben Gebäude bestehen. Wenn das Produkt jenseits
des Gebäudes oder für mehrere Gebäude genutzt wird, müssen die
Kabelverbindungen vor Überspannung und Spannungssprüngen geschützt
werden. Algo empfiehlt das Produkt von einem qualifizierten Elektriker
installieren zu lassenv.
Sollten Sie die englischen Sicherheitsinformationen nicht verstehen,
kontaktieren Sie bitte Algo per Email bevor Sie mit der Installation
beginnen, um Unterstützung zu erhalten. Algo kann unter der folgenden E-
Mail-Adresse erreicht werden: [e-mail].

Important Safety Information
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION
If used in an emergency communication application, the 8301 Paging
Adapter & Scheduler should be routinely tested. SNMP supervision is
recommended for assurance of proper operation.
DRY INDOOR LOCATION ONLY
The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler 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 & Scheduler
may leave the building perimeter without adequate lightning
protection.

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.
