About the Algo 8186 SIP Horn Speaker
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker is a SIP compliant and multicast capable
IP speaker suitable for voice paging, loud ringing, and
alert/notification applications, particularly wide-area and/or high
noise environments (e.g. warehouse, factory). When installed
properly, the 8186 can be used for outdoor applications.
An integrated microphone provides talkback capability and ambient
noise detection for automatic level control.
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.
Multiple speakers in a SIP environment require only one speaker to
register as a SIP extension. Multicasting capabilities allow the SIP
registered speaker to ring/page and simultaneously stream multicast
audio to the other speakers. Any number and variety of Algo
speakers, paging adapters, and strobes can be configured in a
multicast.
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker is configured using central provisioning
features or by accessing a web interface using browsers such as
Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer.

Getting Started - Quick Install & Test
This guide provides important safety information which should be
read thoroughly before permanently installing the speaker.
1. Connect the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker to an IEEE 802.3af compliant
PoE network switch. The blue LED will remain on until boot up is
completed –about 30 seconds.
2. After the blue light turns off, connect the reset terminals on the
back of the unit to hear the IP address over the speaker. The IP
address may also be discovered by downloading the Algo locator tool
to find Algo devices on your network: www.algosolutions.com/locator
3. Mount the speaker per the instructions in this guide.
4. Access the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker web page by entering the IP
address into a browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox etc.) and login using the
default password algo.
5. Enter the IP address for the SIP server into the SIP Domain field
under the BASIC SETTINGS > SIP tab.
6. Enter the page SIP extension and password. (Note the speaker
supports two types of SIP extensions. The page extension auto-
answers for voice page announcements. The ring extension plays an
audio WAV file over the speaker without answering.)
7. Make a call to the speaker by dialling the page SIP extension from a
telephone. The speaker should auto-answer, play the default pre-
announce audio file, and open a speech path.

Installation & Mounting
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker can be wall or ceiling mounted.
Concealed wiring may enter from the wall into the wiring cavity.
Alternatively, surface wiring may enter through a channel from the
bottom edge. The channel is intended for cabling 0.2" or 5mm in
diameter and is intentionally snug to protect against moisture
ingress.
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker can be mounted in any orientation but
both the bracket and housing identify TOP. This keeps the bracket
wiring channel on the bottom and the RJ45 jack on the top side.
The mounting plate may be used to mount over flush or surface
mounted electrical boxes or mud rings and fits securely to a 2 gang
electrical box for installation with wiring conduit.
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker is rated IP65 for wet locations however
care must be taken to ensure that water does not enter the wiring
cavity. The supplied gaskets or sealant must be used to protect the
wiring cavity in wet environments. In dry indoor environments the
gaskets are not required. If the wall gasket is used with surface
wiring then the gasket should be attached after placing the cable into
the wiring channel.
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker should not be installed beyond a building
perimeter without adequately protecting the building wiring from
lightning surges.

Web Interface
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker is configurable using the web interface or
provisioning features.
After boot up the blue light will turn off and the speaker will have
obtained an IP address. If there is no DHCP server the 8186 SIP Horn
Speaker will default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111.
Connect and hold the reset terminals (on the back of the unit) to
hear the IP address over the speaker. The reset terminals will not
cause a reset unless connected during power up.
The IP address may also be discovered by downloading the Algo
locator tool to find Algo devices on your network:
www.algosolutions.com/locator
Enter the IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.111) into a browser such as
Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer (other than IE9). The
web interface should be visible and the default password will be algo
in lower case letters.

SIP Paging: One Speaker
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker can be registered as a third party SIP
extension with a hosted or enterprise Communications Server
supporting 3rd party SIP endpoints.
To register the speaker with the SIP server, use the Basic Settings 
SIP tab in the web interface to enter the Communication Server IP
address, extension, username, and password. This information will be
available from the IT Administrator.
If VLAN is used, navigate to the Advanced Settings Network tab
to set VLAN options.
(Note, once the speaker is using VLAN you will need to be on the same
VLAN to access the web interface.)
The speaker may now be accessed by dialling its assigned extension
from a telephone, device, or client. The speaker will auto-answer, play
the default WAV pre-announce tone, and allow voice paging until
disconnected.
There are a number of configurable speaker options:
Increase or Decrease Speaker Volume
Enable AGC (automatic gain control)
Enable Ambient Noise Monitoring (speaker volume adapts to
background noise)
Enable Talkback
Customize pre-announce tone WAV file
The best voice paging quality and intelligibility will be obtained using
the G.722 wideband audio codec. Most current IP telephones support
G.722 which is sometimes referred to as “HD” voice or audio.

SIP Paging: Multiple Speakers (Using
Multicast)
Multicast features in the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker require that only
ONE of the speakers be registered as a SIP extension. Additional
speakers may be added as multicast Slaves receiving a stream from
the SIP registered Master speaker. Please note that any number and
combination of Algo speakers, paging adapters and strobes can be
part of a multicast.
The Master speaker will page normally while simultaneously
streaming audio to the Slave speakers. The Slave speakers do not
require SIP extensions and do not need to register with the SIP
Communication Server.
To enable multicast streaming from the SIP speaker, go to its web
interface and navigate to the Basic Settings Multicast tab.
Choose multicast mode “Master/Sender” and zone “All Call”. The
multicast addresses pre-populated in the table will work in most
cases.
To enable multicast monitoring in the other speakers, go to the web
interface for each speaker and again navigate to the Basic Settings
Multicast tab. This time though, choose multicast mode
“Slave/Receiver”. There is no need to select a zone as the speaker
will automatically monitor the “All Call”zone IP address.
The page pre-announce tone is generated from the Master. The
following options are valid for each multicast Slave speaker:
Increase or Decrease Speaker Volume
Enable Ambient Noise Monitoring (speaker volume adapts to
background noise)
Talkback can only be used for the SIP registered Master speaker.
When paging with talkback enabled, only the area near the Master
speaker is covered for talkback. The microphones in the
multicast/Slave speakers are disabled except for ambient noise
monitoring.

SIP Paging: Multiple Speakers (Using
Individual SIP extensions)
In some cases it may be desirable for every speaker to have a SIP
extension. Multicast may still be used to page multiple speakers but
each speaker can also be called individually or generate a call when
appropriately configured.
A speaker configured as a SIP Multicast Slave will give its highest
priority to a page using its SIP extension.
Communication Servers with the capability of dialling many SIP
extensions simultaneously for paging may be able to create zones by
calling “page groups”in order to page telephone speakers in
conjunction with overhead speakers.

Page 16 www.algosolutions.com
Multicast Page Zones
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker supports nine “basic” multicast zones.
zones are defined by the multicast IP addresses.
Somewhat arbitrarily, these zones are defined below but may be
used in other ways. The important consideration is that there is a
priority hierarchy –streaming activity on a zone higher on the list will
be treated as a higher priority than a zone lower on the list –with
music being the lowest priority.
Priority
All Call
Zone 1
Zone 2
Zone 3
Zone 4
Zone 5
Zone 6
Music
There are two options for Paging to multiple zones: “DTMF Selectable
Mode” or via multiple page extensions.
The “DTMF Selectable Mode” offers a dynamic page zone selection
and requires only the master device to have a registered SIP
Extension. To page, dial the SIP extension of the master device and
then dial the desired DTMF page zone (e.g. 1, 2, etc.) on the keypad.
Note: DTMF codes for zones 10 and higher start with an “*”.

Page 17 www.algosolutions.com
Alternatively, multiple SIP extensions can be registered on the
master device. Each extension is mapped to a unique zone, allowing
zones to be called directly (for instance from speed-dial keys)
without the use of DTMF. See “Additional Features > More Page
Extensions”.
“Expanded” zones can also be enabled in the “Basic Settings >
Multicast” tab, allowing up to 50 zones in total. These have the same
behaviours as the basic zones, but are hidden by default to simplify
the interface.
PolycomTM Group Paging
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker has been designed to support Polycom
Group Paging.
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker can be added to a Polycom Group Page
so that voice paging is heard over Polycom telephone speakers and
overhead paging simultaneously.
Polycom Group Paging can be configured on the Basic Settings 
Multicast tab.
The 8186 SIP Horn Speaker may be accessed remotely via SIP and
may generate a multicast page within the LAN sending voice page to
both Algo paging speakers and Polycom telephones. Audio delay may
be added to the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker to synchronize with voice
page over the Polycom telephone speakers.

SIP Ring Event
Set Monitoring Mode to "Monitor Ring". When a call is made to the
SIP extension the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker will play the selected WAV
file from memory. Often, the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker will be part of a
hunt group or ring group to ring in conjunction with a telephone.
SIP Activated Notification Alerts
In addition to voice paging, the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker can play
audio files for emergency, safety, and security announcements,
customer service, shift changes, etc.
Audio WAV files can be stored in speaker memory and played over
the speaker in response to ring or input relay, and also multicast to
other Algo SIP endpoints on the network. See “Additional Features >
Emergency Alerts” and “Additional Features > Input/Output” for more
details.
Wiring Connections
Connecting Input Devices to 8186
The input relay to the 8186 SIP Horn
Speaker can be prompted by any normally

1202 Call Button: A pair of wires from the
terminal block on the back of the 8186 SIP Horn
Speaker can connect to the centre pair of the
modular connector at the back of the Call
Button.
1203 Call Switch: A pair of wires can be run from
the back of the device via a screw output
connector to the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker via the
Relay In.
Network Connection
Connect RJ45 jack from PoE network switch or non-PoE network
and 48V 350 mA IEEE 802.3af compliant power injector.
There are two lights on the Ethernet jack:
Green light: On when Ethernet is working, flickers off to indicate
activity on the port.
Amber light: Off when successful 100Mbps link is established.
Typically on only briefly at power up.
Under normal conditions, the Amber light will turn on immediately
after the Ethernet cable is first connected. This indicates that PoE
power has been successfully applied. Once the device connects to the
network, it will switch to the Green light instead, which will typically
flicker indicating traffic on the network.

Terminal Block Relay In
By default, these terminals are inactive. Connection options are a
normally closed switch, normally open switch, 1202 Call Button, 1203
Call Switch, or EOL resistor termination.
Terminal Block Relay Out
By default these terminals provide a contact closure when the 8186
SIP Horn Speaker is active.
Terminal Block Reset
A terminal block reset on the back of the unit can only be used to
reset the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker at time of power up. To reset,
reboot or power cycle the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker. Wait until the
blue LED flashes, then connect the reset terminals and hold until
the blue LED begins a double flash pattern. Release the reset
connection and allow the unit to complete its boot process. Do not
connect the reset terminals until the blue LED begins
flashing.
A reset will set all configuration options to factory default including
the password.
Once booting has completed, connecting the reset terminals will
cause the speaker to annunciate its IP address over the speaker.
Blue LED Indicator
The blue LED by default will be on when the speaker is active. The
blue LED will also be on during power up and boot process.
The blue LED can also provide a heartbeat with a flash every 60
seconds to indicate that the speaker is powered and connected to the
network.
If the 8186 SIP Horn Speaker is in talkback mode the blue LED will
be flashing.
