Author: Zultys Technical Support Department
This document describes the integration of Algo 8180 SIP Audio Alerter with the Zultys MX. Algo 8180 can be
integrated as a “night bell”, a paging device or a page server used to relay a SIP-based page into a multicast page
zone, or using the built-in audio out option. Multiple Algo units can be linked together to cover larger areas.
Algo 8180 can support 1 “ringing” user or DN and 1 “paging” user or DN, as well as a 9 (nine) multicast address.
When Algo 8180 is utilized as a loud ringer/bell the “ringing user” is used and when paging Algo 8180 the “paging
user” is used, as the paging user will auto answer. The ringing user can play up to 4 (four) unique alerting tones
based on the “TO” information provided.
For night bell operation with multiple ring tones, firmware 2.0.3.1 is required.
Currently Algo 8180 can handle a single call at one time.
This document assumes the reader is familiar with creating users and assigning users to devices, as well as the
basic configuration of the MX.
For full documentation of Algo 8180, refer to the User Guide provided by Algo.

2Algo 8180 Information
2.1 Device Settings and Specifications
2.2 Algo 8180 Limitations
Algo 8180 can only support a single call at a time. When multiple calls are sent to
Algo 8180, it will only accept the first call it receives. If the second call is still
ringing, once the first call is answered, Algo 8180 will stop playing the ring tone
for the first call, and then start ringing for the second call, playing the appropriate
ring tone for that call.
In a “Ring All” call group, there might be a short delay between the invites sent to
Algo 8180 because the first invite sent was rejected with a “486 busy here”
message. This is normal operation. There will also be a Syslog Entry noting when
this happens.

3Modes of Operation
Algo 8180 has 3 basic modes of operation: 1 mode for paging and 2 “Night Bell”
modes. Both of these modes can be used at the same time alongside one of the
page modes.
3.1 Page Modes of Operation
Only one page mode of operation can be configured at a time on Algo 8180, with
both Night Bell modes.
3.1.1 SIP Page Mode
In SIP page mode, Algo 8180 is configured as a device in the MX’s Page Zone that
will be paged alongside other devices in that page zone. Algo 8180 will receive a
SIP INVITE, accept and answer it automatically, then play the page over its built-in
“loud speaker”.
3.1.2 Multicast Page Mode
In Multicast page mode, Algo 8180 is configured as a device listening to the
Multicast Page IP:Port combination that a ZIP3 or ZIP5 phone is broadcasting to.
Algo 8180 will accept, and play the page over its built-in “loud speaker”.
3.1.3 SIP and Multicast Page Mode
In SIP and Multicast page mode, Algo 8180 is configured as a device in the MX’s
Page Zone that will be included when a page is made to that page zone. Algo 8180
will receive a SIP INVITE, accept and answer it automatically, then play the page
over its built-in “loud speaker”. At the same time Algo 8180 will broadcast the SIP
page as a multicast page to a multicast page IP:Port combination that ZIP5 and ZIP3
phones are listening to.
3.2 Night Bell Mode of Operation
Algo 8180 can support both Night Bell modes at the same time alongside a single
Page mode.
3.2.1 Single/Default Ringtone
In the Single/Default Ring tone mode, there is no customization of the ring tone. A
ring tone is selected, and will be used for all calls presented to Algo 8180.
Algo 8180 can only support 1 (one) call at a time.
3.2.2 Custom Ringtone Based on SIP “TO” INVITE
In Custom Ringtone based on SIP “TO” INVITE, Algo 8180 selects a particular ring
tone based on the SIP TO information in the SIP INVITE. Algo 8180 can support up
to 4 ringtone selections.
Algo 8180 can only support 1 (one) call at a time.

4Multicast Paging
4.1 How Multicast Paging Works
After a user presses a configured “Paging” key on the phone, the phone sends a
page message (which is an RTP stream, hereinafter referred to as a “page”) to a
preconfigured multicast address. Any device in the local network listens for the
page on the preconfigured multicast address. The device will display the multicast
page sent/received address to the user. You can define multiple multicast zones by
using a different multicast IP or port number, a single device can listen to multiple
IP:Port combinations.
The device uses G711 uLaw CODEC for multicast paging.
The recipient can drop the incoming page if required. The recipient can also press
Do Not Disturb (DND) or other “ignore” options on the device to ignore/reject any
incoming pages.
4.2 Caveats of Multicast Paging
Multicast paging is designed for ZIP5/ZIP3 phones only. There is no guaranteed
interoperability with any other Zultys-supported phones. Algo 8180 is an
exception, as it has been tested and certified to work properly with the ZIP5/ZIP3
phones. The ZIP2xN phones and MXIE Softphone do not support multicast paging.
The 57iCT cordless handset cannot initiate a multicast page.
This service is non-routable, and cannot be used to page across the MXnetwork or
to remote devices.
Note: The Group Paging Settings are dependent on the setting for the “Allow
Barge In” parameter.
Note: Multicast page is one-way only - from sender to the receiver.
Note: For outgoing pages, all other existing calls on the phone are put on hold.
For incoming pages, the ringing display is dependent on the “Allow Barge In”
parameter. If this parameter is disabled, and there is no other call on the phone,
then the paging is automatically played via the preferred audio device.
If there is an existing call on the phone, the call initially displays in the ringing
state. The user has the option to accept/ignore the call. If the “Allow Barge In”
parameter is enabled, the page call barges in, and any existing calls are put on
hold.
If a page session already exists on the phone, and the phone receives another
incoming page, the priority is given to the first multicast session and the second
multicast session is ignored. The behavior for the incoming calls in this case is also

Technical Publications
based on the setting for the “Allow Barge In” parameter. The incoming call is
handled as if there were an existing call already on the phone.
4.3 Advantages of Multicast Paging
Multicast paging allows for virtually unlimited paging capability in a local network,
does not require a session license to operate, and is almost instantaneous, as it
does not require the phones to acknowledge the page request.
5SIP Paging
5.1 How SIP Paging Works
SIP paging works as follows: the MX places a call to the device with an auto answer
flag if the device is a ZIP5, ZIP3 or a Polycom device (other device types must be
specifically configured to answer pages automatically ), once all devices have
answered the call, the page is made to these devices.
5.2 Caveats of SIP Paging
SIP paging is limited to 32 devices on a MX250 and 16 devices on an MX30.
Session License is required.
SBC Licenses are required if SIP paging is used with Remote phone(s).
5.3 Advantages of SIP Paging
Works with remote devices.
Works with the entire ZIP product line with no exceptions.
Works with Polycom devices.
Works with MXIE Softphone.
6Configuring Ringing Device on the MX for Algo 8180
Algo 8180 interfaces with the MX system through a preconfigured MX user. A
single user / device will interface with the MX for ringing purposes. To initiate Algo
8180’s loud ringer/bell function, place a call to this user / device combination and it
will “ring” until the call is answered.

8Programming and Configuration
Primary configuration of the 8180 is done through the web interface control panel.
In addition, there are program buttons on the unit itself for basic setup options.
Connect Algo 8180 to a network PoE port. The blue indicator light turns on during
initialization. Algo 8180 then attempts to obtain an IP address from the DHCP
server. If unsuccessful, the 8180 defaults to the fixed IP address of 192.168.1.111.
When the IP address is selected, Algo 8180 chimes and the blue light turns off.
8.1 Obtaining current IP address of Algo 8180
Algo 8180 is configured using a web interface tool accessed by entering Algo
8180’s IP address into a browser. To find this IP address, press the Menu button
until the option for “IP Address” is reached. Then press Select to hear the address.
Alternatively, search the network using the Algo Network Device Locator Tool
available for download from www.algosolutions.com/locator.
The Program buttons on the back of Algo 8180 allow local adjustment of alert
tones and alert volume. The buttons are intentionally hidden from view after
installation and can be disabled using the web interface. The button plays the
current ring tone and allows volume adjustment using the and buttons.
Press to exit. The button cycles through the following options:
Choose ring tone
Record ring tone using microphone
Get device information (IP address and MAC address)

11 Paging with Algo 8180
Algo 8180 can be used as a standard standalone page zone incorporated into the
MX page zone(s) or as a SIP page to Multicast Page converter to extend the paging
capability of an MX.
11.1 Standalone SIP Page Server
When using Algo 8180 as a standalone page zone, you would call the extension
associated with the “Page” user, and a SIP call will be placed to Algo 8180 and it is
responsible for delivering the page.

Page 17 of 25
Technical Publications
11.2 SIP Page using the MX Page Server/Zones
When using Algo 8180 in the MX page zone, create a Page Zone and Paging Profile
as you normally would, and then add Algo 8180 “Paging” user into the same page
zone. When the Page zone is accessed, Algo 8180 will also be included when the
MX places a SIP call to Algo 8180 unit and it will auto answer the call alongside all
the other devices in the zone.
11.3 Multicast Page from ZIP5xi or ZIP3xi Devices
When integrating Algo 8180 into a Multicast Page Zone from either a ZIP3xi or a
ZIP5xi phone, Algo 8180 needs to be in “Slave” mode as the ZIP3/ZIP5 phone will
be the “Master”. Navigate to Algo 8180’s configuration page, click on the Config
option, and under the features header, check “All Call” as a Multicast Slave Zone
so that the device will “listen” to the Multicast IP:Port defined in the Advanced
Multicast Settings.
Setup the ZIP5/ZIP3 as you normally would for Multicast paging to “broadcast” at
the same IP:Port Algo 8180 is listening to, for further information see ZIP5xi and
ZIP3xi multicast instructions in section 16 and section 17.
Make sure that the following options are selected.
Multicast Mode: Select
“Slave” as Algo 8180 will
listen to the Multicast
page stream being sent
from the ZIP5 and ZIP3
devices.
Multicast Slave Zone: All
Call.
All Call (DTMF:0) : The
Multicast IP:Port should be
the same as the ZIP5/ZIP3
devices are broadcasting
to.
For the remaining items,
leave the sections at the
default settings or
“blank”.

11.4 SIP and Multicast Paging
In SIP and Multicast mode, Algo 8180 is a member of the MX Page Zone, so a SIP
call is placed to Algo 8180 “paging” user and when the device answers the call, it
immediately starts streaming the SIP page into a Multicast page zone.
Make sure that the following options are selected.
Multicast Mode: Select
“Master” as Algo 8180
will create the Multicast
page stream to be sent to
the ZIP5 and ZP3 devices
listening to the Multicast
IP:Port.
Multicast Page Zone
Selection Mode: Fixed
and select “All Call” from
the drop-down.
All Call (DTMF:0) : Enter
the Multicast IP:Port the
ZIP5/ZIP3 devices are
listening to.
For the remaining items,
leave the sections at the
default settings or
“blank”.
12 Night Bell (Single Ring Tone)
The Night bell operation of Algo 8180 is triggered by calling the “Ringing” user
extension which will call Algo 8180. Select the Ring Tone from the drop-down and
set the ring volume (the default setting of 4 is good for most environments). In this
mode, all calls sent to Algo 8180 use the same ring tone.

13 Night Bell with Multiple Tones
Algo 8180 can be configured so that a different ring tone is played over the loud
speaker depending on the “TO” header information of the incoming call. This
option requires Algo firmware 2.0.3.1 which can be obtained from Zultys or Algo
directly. This firmware was custom developed by Algo for Zultys.
The Custom ring tone is based off of the “TO” header of the SIP INVITE and a
Custom Ring Tone rule, this offers great flexibility for using a single MX User as a
member of multiple groups where Algo 8180 selects which ring tone to use based
off the call group name.
Currently there is a maximum of 4 custom ring tones plus the “default” ring tone.
Only 1 (one) call can be processed at a time.
13.1 Create a User, Device and Assign Device to User
13.2 After creating the device that will interface with Algo 8180, create a
user and assign the user to this device. This document assumes the
reader is a ZCSE trained and a certified technician. Since this process is
covered by ZCSE training, it is considered to be outside the scope of this
document. Add User to the Call Group
Add Algo 8180’s “Ringing” user to a call group, in this example we will use a Hunt
Group as it does not require login. If ICC/ACD/Operator groups are required, log
the user in utilizing DTMF Controls. To add the user to the call group, in the MX
Administration navigate to Configure -> Operator and Call Groups, and select the
group you wish to add the user to, find the user and add by clicking the “ add ”
arrow, then click Apply .
Note that the call group name cannot have spaces in it.
In the image below the user is “algoU” and the call group is “Crisis_1”.
