Important Safety Information
INSTALLATION
An improperly installed 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker could fall from the
ceiling and cause serious injury or death. The four screw mounting
clamps will adequately support the speaker if the ceiling material is
sufficiently strong. An optional T-bar mounting bracket (Algo
8188TBR) is recommended for acoustic ceiling tile and may be
required for compliance with local building code. A ¼-20 threaded
insert nut on top of the speaker housing can accept an eye-bolt (not
supplied) for chain or cable support and additional safety.
Local building codes may require one or more additional safety
measures, particularly in earthquake prone regions.
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION
If used in an emergency communication application, the 8188 SIP
Ceiling Speaker should be routinely tested. SNMP supervision is
recommended for assurance of proper operation. Contact Algo for
other methods of operational assurance including the use of the
integrated microphone for automated “sound to air” acoustic testing.
DRY INDOOR LOCATION ONLY
The 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker 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 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker may leave
the building perimeter without adequate lightning protection.

About the Algo 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker
The 8188 is a SIP compliant and multicast capable IP speaker
suitable for voice paging, notification, and background music, and
ideal for office, retail, healthcare and education environments.
The 6.5” (165mm) coaxial speaker is G.722 wideband capable and
music capable using a fullband codec. 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 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 8188 SIP Ceiling 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 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker to an IEEE 802.3af compliant
PoE network switch. The blue light will remain on until boot up is
completed –about 30 seconds.
2. After the blue light turns off, press the reset switch (RST) 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 8188 SIP Ceiling 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 WAV file, and open a speech path.
8. Carefully install the protective grill working around the grill until fully
installed and flush with the housing.

Ceiling Installation
The 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker is intended to be mounted in a T-bar
acoustic tile or gypsum ceiling. The speaker may also be suspended using
a chain or cable (see section –Suspended Installation).
For more secure installations, optional T-Bar support bracket (8188TBR)
or Ceiling Tile 2’x2’ Panel (8188T2x2) are available that can transfer the
speaker weight onto the T-bar rails. Installation instructions are provided
with the support bracket.
The speaker is shipped with the metal protective grill removed for
convenience. This provides access to the four Phillips head screws that
operate the four clamps. The clamp screws must be sufficiently loose to
allow clamps to rotate and clear the ceiling material thickness. When
tightened, the clamps are locked to prevent rotating. Removal of the
speaker from the ceiling requires the clamps to be sufficiently loosened
before they can rotate in to pass through the 8” (20.5cm) hole.
The removable trim ring must be snapped into location flush with the front
surface of the speaker. Lay the trim ring on a flat surface with the ribs
facing down and place the speaker in the middle with the speaker facing
up. Align the four tabs with the cavities on the speaker housing and slide
the trim ring up the speaker housing until it snaps into place flush with the
top.
An 8” (20.5 cm) round hole is required in the ceiling. The wiring
connections are easiest made prior to mounting if possible.
Network connection is made by inserting a RJ45 plug into the jack on top
of the housing. Wire connections for relay input and output (if used) are
made using the 4 position pluggable terminal block provided.
The protective wiring cover may be attached after connections are made.
The cover helps prevent any water drips from HVAC or roof leaks from

entering the enclosure, as well as keeping dust out of the connections.
The cover also provides additional strain relief for the wiring.
With connections made, lift the housing into the ceiling and tighten the 4
clamps using a #2 Phillips screwdriver until snug.
Do NOT over-tighten the clamps. If the clamp screws are over-
tightened after the trim ring is snug, the trim ring may detach from the
housing requiring the speaker to be removed from the ceiling and the trim
ring re-attached.
After installation and testing, gently work the speaker grill into its friction fit
position and ensure it is evenly flush to the housing around the edge. The
speaker grill is intentionally tight to prevent falling from the ceiling.
A tool supplied with the 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker can be used to remove
the grill. If lost, a small Allen key or heavy duty paperclip bent into an L
shape can be used to remove the grill by pulling close to the edge.
Air Handling Spaces UL2043
The 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker was tested and found to be compliant with
UL2043 requirements by an independent NRTL registered lab and is
therefore suitable for installation in air handling spaces. A copy of the test
report is available by request.
Suspended Installation
To suspend the 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker from a ceiling or truss you will
need additional materials not included with the speaker:
¼” x20 Redi-Rod or Eyebolt
Thread locking adhesive
Load bearing cable or chain
For suspended installations, the trim ring is not used. The four clamps
may also be removed for aesthetics. The back housing and grill may be
painted if desired but ensure the speaker and wire connectors are properly
masked.
Apply a thread locking adhesive and install a ¼-20 eyebolt (not included)
into the threaded nut insert on the top of the speaker housing. Screw the

eye-bolt in completely (3/8”) and use a thread locking adhesive to prevent
the bolt from working itself out.
Suspend the speaker using chain or cable rated to support at least 3 x the
weight of the speaker and preferably capable of supporting 200 lb (91 kg)
loads in case the speaker is used for support while on a ladder. Secure the
cable or chain to the speaker and ceiling or truss properly to ensure a safe
installation.
Wiring exits from the protective cover towards the center of the housing
to be run up the cable or chain and dressed neatly using cable ties.
Web Interface
The 8188 SIP SIP Ceiling 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 8188 SIP
Ceiling Speaker will default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111.
Press the reset switch (RST next to the light) momentarily to hear the
IP address over the speaker. The reset switch will not cause a reset
unless pressed 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 (eg 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 8188 SIP Ceiling 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.

Page 14 www.algosolutions.com
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 8188 SIP Ceiling 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.

Page 15 www.algosolutions.com
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”and also page telephone speakers in
conjunction with overhead speakers.

Multicast Page Zones
The 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker supports nine “basic” multicast zones.
These 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 “*”.

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, 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 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker has been designed to support Polycom
Group Paging.
The 8188 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 8188 SIP Ceiling 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 8188 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 8188 will play the selected WAV file from memory.
Often, the 8188 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 8188 SIP Ceiling 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 an event such as a ring or relay input, 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
Network Connection
The speaker provides a RJ45 jack for network connection. A cable run
from the switch can be terminated to a modular jack with connection
by patch cord, or terminated with a RJ45 plug.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) must be 48V 350 mA IEEE 802.3af
compliant whether provided by the network switch or 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.

Connecting Input Devices to 8188
The input relay to the 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker can be prompted by
any normally open, normally closed switch, Algo 1202 Call Button, or
Algo 1203 Call Switch. The input switches can be connected to the
back of the back of the 8188 via a Terminal Block on the “Relay SW
Input” pair.
1202 Call Button: A pair of wires from the
terminal block on the back of the 8188 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 8188 via the screw input
connector.

Terminal Block Relay In
By default, these terminals are inactive. Connection options are a
normally closed switch, normally open switch, Algo 1202 Call Button
with large blue button, Algo 1203 single gang backlit Call Switch, or
EOL resistor termination.
Terminal Block Relay Out
By default these terminals provide a contact closure when the 8188
SIP Ceiling Speaker is active.
Blue LED Indicator
The blue LED is visible through the speaker grill and 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 30
seconds to indicate that the speaker is powered and connected to the
network.
If the 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker is in talkback mode the blue LED will
be flashing.
Reset Button
A recessed reset button (RST) next to the blue LED can only be
used to reset the 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker at time of power up. To
reset, reboot or power cycle the 8188. Wait until the blue LED
flashes and then press and hold the reset button until the blue LED
begins a double flash pattern. Release the reset button and allow
the unit to complete its boot process. Do not press the reset
button until the blue LED begins flashing.
A reset will set all configuration options to factory default including
the password.
Once booting has completed, pressing the reset button will cause
the speaker to annunciate its IP address over the speaker.
