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 Algo SIP endpoint.

Only one compatible Algo SIP Endpoint 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. 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.

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.

Algo SIP Endpoint Web Interface
Configuration

The compatible Algo SIP Endpoint web interface should be configured

before any wiring connections are made to avoid damaging the 2506.

Connect the Algo SIP Endpoint 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
the product specific documentation. The IP address may also be
discovered by downloading the Algo locator tool to find Algo devices
on your network: www.algosolutions.com/locator
