Important Safety Information
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION
If used in an emergency communication application, the 8373 Zone
Paging Adapter should be routinely tested. SNMP supervision is
recommended for assurance of proper operation.
DRY INDOOR LOCATION ONLY
The 8373 Zone 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 8373 Zone Paging Adapter may
leave the building perimeter without adequate lightning
protection.

About the Algo 8373 Zone Paging
Adapter
The 8373 Zone Paging Adapter creates multiple paging zones, while
interfacing between SIP-enabled phone system and traditional paging
amplifier. When answering an inbound call, the 8373 can route the
call’s audio to the amplifier, via an analog connector. One amplified
audio stream can then be fed back into the 8373 and sent to one or
more of the three speaker Channels at a time. It is important to note
that the 8373 doesn’t allow different audio streams to play on two
Channels simultaneously as it is designed to interface with a single
amplifier. To interface with multiple amplifiers, we recommend using
multiple Algo 8301 Paging Adapters instead.
The 8373 can register as a voice paging SIP extension with a hosted
or enterprise Communications Server supporting 3rd party SIP
endpoints. Multiple SIP paging extensions may also be registered on
the 8373, one for each zone in use.
Multicasting capabilities allow a SIP registered 8373 to page and
simultaneously stream multicast audio to other Algo devices. Only
one 8373 is required to register as a SIP extension when using
multiple adapters in a SIP environment.
Connection to the amplifier is made using a balanced and isolated
line level output provided as either an XLR-mini connection (front) or
pluggable terminal block for twisted pair wiring (back). The audio
level can be adjusted manually or set to a defined level independent
of input.
The 8373 Zone Paging Adapter 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 8373 Zone Paging Adapter is typically used to connect an
existing paging amplifier to a UC environment either as a SIP
extension or multicast endpoint. The 8373 can relay the single
unique audio stream from the amplifier to one of the 3 speaker
channels, creating a “zoned” paging system.
The Line Output of the 8373 is connected directly to the dry audio
input on the 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 8373 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” then the 8373 will replace the answering device
and eliminate the need for a FXS port or ATA.
