About the Algo 2506 Polycom Ring
Detector
Polycom VVX phones can be configured to provide ring audio to the
headset jack instead of the speaker. The Algo 2506 module detects
the low-level audio from the headset jack and provides an isolated
signal to activate an 8128 SIP Strobe Light, 8180 SIP Audio Alerter,
8186 SIP Horn Speaker, or 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker directly instead
of using SIP.
Only one Algo alerting device (8128, 8180, 8186, or 8188) can be
connected directly to the 2506 Polycom Ring Detector at a time.
However, any of the four devices can relay a signal to additional
devices via the relay output connections on the back or via multicast.

Getting Started - Quick Configure & Test
This guide provides important safety information which should be
read thoroughly before permanent setup.
1. If using an 8180/8186/8188, first configure the device via the web
interface, as per the instructions in this guide. Next, test that the
configuration is correct by shorting a pair of wires to the input on the
back of the device. (The 8128 does not require any web
configuration.)
2. Connect one end of a wire pair (maximum length of 20 feet) to the
“+” and “-” screw input terminals on the 2506 and the other end to
the relay terminals on the Algo alerting device. The pin polarity and
placement varies between devices. Refer to the guide for more
information.
3. Connect the Algo alerting device to the network via an Ethernet cable
at the back of the device. Ensure that a PoE port is used for power.
4. Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the RJ jack on the 2506
and the other end into the HEADSET jack on the Polycom phone.
5. Set the ring signal on the phone to be sent to the headset jack.
6. Set the VVX Polycom phone ringing volume to maximum.
(Ensure that the headset is set up before the ring volume is
configured.)
7. When an incoming call is received by the Polycom VVX phone, an
audio/visual alert will be triggered.

8180/8186/8188 Web Interface
Configuration
The Algo 8180, 8186, and 8188 web interface should be configured
before any wiring connections are made to avoid damaging the 2506.
The 8128 does not require any web configuration to operate with the
2506.
Connect the Algo audio device to the network via an Ethernet cable at
the back of the device. Ensure that a PoE port is used for power.
After boot up, the device will beep and the intercom will have
obtained an IP address. If there is no DHCP server the device will
default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111.
Directions to obtain the IP address of the SIP device can be found in
8180 SIP Audio Alerter User Guide, 8186 SIP Horn Speaker User
Guide, or 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker User Guide.The IP address may
also be discovered by downloading the Algo locator tool to find Algo
devices on your network: www.algosolutions.com/locator

password is algo.
3. Go to “Advanced Settings > Input/Output” tab.
4. Follow the appropriate instructions below, depending on the
device being used.
5. Click “Save” in the bottom right corner of the page.
6. Short a pair of wires to the input on the back of the device to see
if an alert is triggered. If not, verify the PoE connection and web
configuration options.
8180 Web Configuration
Set the “Speaker Terminal Function” to “Relay Input”.
Ensure that “Relay Input Polarity” is set to “Normally Open

Wiring Connections
The 8180/8186/8188 web interface should be configured before any
wiring connections are made to avoid damaging the 2506. The 8128
does not require any web configuration to operate with the 2506.
The 2506 can be connected to an Algo alerting device via the following
setup:
1. Use a screwdriver to connect a
wire pair into the “+” and “-”
terminals via the screw input
connector on the 2506. It is
recommended to keep wiring
distances to maximum of 20 feet
(indoor only) due to low audio
levels.
2. As per the table below, connect the wires from the 2506 to the
relay input (speaker output on 8180) on the device of choice:
Note: The pin polarity/placement varies between devices. Ensure
correct polarity is used with each device.
8128 SIP Strobe Light
2506 “+” to Pin 2
2506 “-” to Pin 1

4. Plug the coiled handset cord into the RJ
jack of the 2506.
5. Plug the other end of the handset cord
into the HEADSET jack of the Polycom
VVX phone.

headset jack. On the phone interface
go to:
Settings > Basic > Preferences > Audible Ringer > select Headset
7. Set the VVX Polycom phone ringing volume to maximum by
pressing volume up (+) key on the phone, while idle or ringing.
The ring level should appear on the phone’s display screen.
Note: Ensure that the headset is set up before the ring volume is
configured.
8. When an incoming call is
received by the Polycom VVX
phone, a visual/audio alert will
be triggered.
