About the Algo 2507 Ring Detector
Many phones can be configured to provide ring audio to the headset jack instead of the speaker.
The Algo 2507 module detects the low-level audio from the headset jack and provides an isolated
signal to activate an Algo SIP endpoint.
Only one compatible Algo SIP Endpoint can be connected directly to the 2507 Ring Detector at a
time, however, any of the endpoint devices can send a signal to additional devices via the relay
output connections on the back, or via multicast.

Getting Started - Configure & Test
Only connect the 2507 to the Relay Input port on compatible Algo SIP Endpoints.
1. Connect the Algo SIP Endpoint to the network via an Ethernet cable. Ensure that a PoE port is
used for power.
2. Enter the IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.111) into a browser such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or
Microsoft Edge and log in. Full product user guides are available by visiting the Algo Website.
3. Configure the Algo SIP Endpoint device via the web interface by navigating to Additional
Features > Input/Output and set the Relay Input Mode to “Algo 2507 Ring Detector”.
Note 1: Devices must be on firmware 3.4.2 or above
Note 2: If working with an 8180 SIP Audio Alerter, set the Relay Terminal Function to “Input” in
order to show the Relay Input Mode setting.
4. Configure the desired tone and volume or strobe pattern to play when the relay input is activated.
Click “Save” in the bottom right corner of the page.
5. (Optional) Test the configuration is correct by shorting a pair of wires across the relay input
terminal of the device. The configured tone will play or the strobe will flash, indicating the
configuration is correct.
6. Once the Algo SIP Endpoint has been confirmed to be working correctly, connect one end of the
supplied cable (maximum length of 20 feet) to the relay input terminal on this device, and the
other end to the terminal block on the 2507. This connection is not polarity dependant.
7. Plug one end of the handset cord into the RJ jack on the 2507 and the other end into the
HEADSET jack on the phone.
8. Ensure that the phone's ring signal is sent to the headset jack, in the configuration settings on the
phone. Consult your particular phone vendor's documentation for details on how this can be
done. Configuration for certain phones is available below.
9. Set the phone ringing volume to maximum. (Ensure that the headset is set up before the ring
volume is configured.)

10. Set the sensitivity on the 2507 to maximum, by gently rotating the adjustment knob all the way
clockwise. If a continuous alert is triggered or the alerting device is activated when the phone
isn’t, lower the sensitivity.
11. Test by calling the phone. If the Algo Speaker or Visual Alerter does not activate, read the
Troubleshooting section below.

Troubleshooting
Wiring Connections
To verify that the Algo SIP Endpoint is powered and configured correctly, short the wire pair on
the input of the alerting device and see if an audio/visual alert is triggered. If not, verify the PoE
connection and web configuration options as described in the Algo SIP Endpoint Web Interface
Configuration of this guide.
If the Algo SIP endpoint functions correctly, next verify the wiring connection between the alerting
device and the 2507.
If a continuous alert is triggered or the alerting device is activated when the phone isn’t, lower the
sensitivity dial on the 2507.
Headset Jack
Ensure that the ring signal is sent to the headset jack on the phone. Consult your phone's
documentation for more details.
To verify this, a headset or handset can be temporarily connected to the headset jack on the
phone (in place of the 2507). Confirm that an audible signal is heard on this headset/handset
when the phone rings.
Phone Volume
Ensure that the phone ringer volume is set to a max. The volume should be configured after the
headset is set up.
