8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

About the Algo 8301 Paging Adapter &
Scheduler

The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler is a PoE SIP compliant and
multicast capable IP adapter designed for integrating consumer,
commercial, and professional audio amplifiers into an IP based
Unified Communications environment for voice paging and
notification. The 8301 is also a Scheduler. Relying on the NTP server,
the 8301 can provide bells, tones, and customer service or
emergency announcements for schools, retail, manufacturing,
healthcare, etc. 1GB of memory is available in the device to store
WAV files, which can be played via the 8301 Line Out and, if desired,
as a multicast to other Algo speakers, paging adapters and strobes.

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.

Connection to the amplifier is made using a balanced and isolated
line level output provided as both a XLR-mini connection and
pluggable terminal block for twisted pair wiring. Audio level can be
adjusted manually or set to a defined level independent of input.

Multiple adapters in a SIP environment require only one adapter to
register as a SIP extension. Multicasting capabilities allow the SIP
registered adapter to page and simultaneously stream multicast
audio to the other adapters.

The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler is configured using central
provisioning features or by accessing a web interface using browsers
such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer.

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

Typical Application

The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler is typically used to connect an
existing paging amplifier to a UC environment either as a SIP
extension or multicast endpoint.

The Line Output of the 8301 is connected directly to the dry audio
input on an amplifier with an input impedance between 600 Ohm and
10 kOhm.

For amplifiers connected directly to the dry page port of an existing
telephone system, the 8301 will provide a very similar interface
providing both dry page audio and dry contact closure to activate the
amplifier (if required).

For amplifiers connected to a FXS port or ATA through a “telephone
answering device” the 8301 will replace the answering device and
eliminate the need for a FXS port or ATA.

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

Getting Started - Quick Install & Test

This guide provides important safety information which should be

read thoroughly before permanently installing the adapter.

1. Connect the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler to an IEEE 802.3af

compliant PoE network switch. The blue lights on the front will
remain on until boot up is completed – about 30 seconds.

2. After the blue lights turn off, press the reset switch (RST) to hear the

IP address over the analog outputs (eg. headset can be connected to
the green output port). 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. Connect the adapter LINE OUT to an amplifier using the mini-XLR

connector or pluggable terminal block.

4. Access the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler 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 adapter

supports two types of SIP extensions. The page extension auto­answers for voice page announcements. The ring extension plays an
audio WAV file over the speaker without answering.)

7. Make a call to the adapter by dialling the page SIP extension of the

adapter from a telephone.

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

Installation

The 8301 is wall mountable in a horizontal orientation using the
supplied bracket.

Example installation on ½” drywall:

Use appropriate drywall anchors for #8 screws,
and pre-drill per anchor manufacturer’s
instructions. Insert 4 anchors into the wall, and
then attach bracket to wall anchors using #8
screws. Snap the 8301 into the bracket.

Connect the 8301 to a PoE network switch.

Connect the audio output of the 8301 to an amplifier using either the
mini-XLR output (male pins) or pluggable terminal block. The 8301
provides a dry audio output and dry contact closure.

An optional XLR output audio cable (Algo 2504) may be ordered for
audio amplifiers using standard XLR input connectors.

Web Interface

The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler is configurable using the web
interface or provisioning features.

After boot up the blue lights on the front will turn off and the adapter
will have obtained an IP address. If there is no DHCP server the 8301
Paging Adapter & Scheduler will default to the static IP address

192.168.1.111.

The IP address may 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.

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

SIP Paging: One Adapter

The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler can be registered as a third
party SIP extension with a hosted or enterprise Communications
Server supporting 3rd party SIP endpoints.

To register the adapter 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 adapter is using VLAN you will need to be on the same
VLAN to access the web interface.)

The adapter may now be accessed by dialling its assigned extension
from a telephone, device, or client. The adapter will auto-answer, play
the default WAV pre-announce tone, and allow voice paging until
disconnected.

There are a number of configurable adapter options:

 Increase or Decrease Speaker Volume
 Enable AGC (automatic gain control)
 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.

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

SIP Paging: Multiple Algo SIP Endpoints
(Using Multicast)

Multicast features in the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler require
that only the first adapter be registered as a SIP extension.
Additional Algo SIP endpoints, including any combination of paging
adapters, speakers, and strobes, may be added as multicast Slaves
receiving a stream from the SIP registered Master adapter, provided
that only a single audio stream will be active at any given time
across any or all of the devices. If multiple unique audio streams are
needed simultaneously more than one Master device will be required.

The Master adapter will simultaneously stream audio to the Slave
adapters. The Slave adapters do not require SIP extensions and do
not need to register with the SIP Communication Server.

To enable multicast streaming from the Master adapter, go to the
web interface and navigate to the Basic Settings > Multicast tab.
Choose multicast mode “Master/Sender” and pick “All Call” for the
Master single zone.

To enable multicast monitoring in the Algo SIP endpoint Slaves, go to
the web interface for each endpoint and 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
endpoint will automatically monitor the “All Call” zone IP address.

The page pre-announce tone is generated from the Master. The
speaker volume can be increased or decreased for each multicast
Slave individually.

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

SIP Paging: Multiple Algo SIP Endpoints
(Using Individual SIP extensions)

In some cases it may be desirable for every adapter to have a SIP
extension. Multicast may still be used to page multiple Algo SIP
endpoints, but each endpoint can also be called individually or
generate a call when appropriately configured.

An Algo SIP endpoint 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 “paging groups” in order to page telephone speakers in
conjunction with speaker endpoints.

Background Music Streaming

The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler, set as a Multicast master, can
stream background music to other Algo slave devices on the network
from a music source connected to the 8301’s AUX Input.

When multicasting music, ensure that Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

is ‘Disabled’ in Basic Settings > Features tab on all the slave
devices. Meanwhile, on the Multicast master device, select ‘G.722’ for

the Master Output Codec setting in Advanced Settings >
Advanced Multicast tab.

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

Multicast Page Zones

The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler 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

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 “*”.

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

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 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler has been designed to support
Polycom Group Paging.

The 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler 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 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler may be accessed remotely via
SIP and may generate a multicast page within the LAN sending voice
page to both Algo paging endpoints and Polycom telephones. Audio
delay may be added to the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler 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 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler will play the
selected WAV file from memory. Often, the 8301 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 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler can
play audio files for emergency, safety, and security announcements,
customer service, shift changes, etc.

Audio WAV files can be stored in adaptor memory and played over a
speaker in response to an event such as a ring, relay input or
automated schedule, and also multicast to other Algo SIP endpoints
on the network. See Additional Features > Emergency Alerts and

Additional Features > Input/Output tabs for more details.

Multicast IP Addresses

Each 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler has its own IP address, and

shares a common multicast IP and port number (multicast zone) for

multicast packets. The master transmits to a configurable multicast

zone, and the slave units listen to all the multicast zones assigned to

them.

The network switches and router see the packet and deliver it to all

the members of the group. The multicast IP and port number must

be the same on all the Master and Slave units of one group. The user

may define multiple zones by picking different multicast IP addresses

and/or port numbers.

1. Multicast IP addresses range: 224.0.0.0/4

(from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255)

2. Port numbers range: 1 to 65535

3. By default, the 8301 Paging Adapter &

Scheduler is set to use the multicast IP
address 224.0.2.60 and the port numbers
50000-50008

Make sure that the multicast IP address and port number do not

conflict with other services and devices on the same network.

Action When Tamper Detected (Supervision)

In addition to the main events, the device can be configured with
supervision to also execute one of the above three actions, except
Stream Audio, in case the input switch is disconnected due to wiring
failure or after being tampered with. For example, a tone could sound
over the speaker(s), or a private pre-recorded message could be sent
to a specified phone extension. The supervision configuration options
will appear once a relay option with supervision is selected. See the
Electrical Specification section for details on supervision detection
circuit.

Speaker Volume/Mute

Apply an external switch (short-circuit) across the Relay Input

terminals in order to mute the speaker. This allows a temporary

"disable" switch to control the device if desired, for example in a

boardroom to block paging during important meetings.

If volume control is desired, instead use a 5k-ohm (or 10k-ohm)

logarithmic potentiometer (rated for 1 Watt) to set the current across

the Relay Input terminals. Volume steps are applied at 4mA intervals

based on a nominal 13V source voltage (40mA current-limited).

0mA = regular (full) volume, down to mute at 40mA.

Leave the Relay Input terminals open (no-connect) for regular full-

volume operation when in this mode.

Dialing Extension

SIP account required in Page Extension fields in order to make a call.

Interval Between Tones

Specify the time delay (seconds) between tones.

Maximum Tone Duration

Select the maximum tone duration. The tone will be terminated once
the maximum time is reached.

Outbound Ring Limit

Typically set to ensure that a call will not reach voicemail. This
feature can be used to set a limit on how long the speaker will ring
before timing out.

maximum time is reached. In the event that a call inadvertently
reaches voicemail or gets accidentally left on hold, this setting
ensures that the 8301 returns on-hook.

Call Button

While the 8301 can be configured to play the WAV file only once, it

can also be enabled to play it continuously with just one touch on the

1202 Call Button. The action can then be stopped via the smaller oval

cancel button located below the main call button on the 1202.

Audio Input Port

Select an audio input port and choose if it is normally open/closed or

a multicast master. “Aux Input” is the front blue 3.5mm jack for

headsets (iPods/iPhones). “Aux Output” is the front green 3.5

headset with microphone (headsets or PC speakers). “Line Input” is

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

Emergency Alerts allow for an announcement to be triggered &
latched by calling a pre-configured Emergency extension and hanging
up. The announcement will continue to play until a different "Cancel"
extension is called to clear the announcement (or a pre-defined
timeout is reached). The Emergency Alerts are useful for emergency
notifications (e.g. evacuation, lockdown, medical emergency, etc.),
allowing staff to quickly dial a pre-configured number under such
circumstances.

If the “Answer Inbound Call” option is “Enabled” the call is auto­answered and a confirmation tone is played before starting the alert.

If “Disabled”, the alert is triggered just by the inbound ring, without

answering the call. (In both instances, the announcement will play

until the time limit is reached or the “Cancel Extension” is called).

The auto-answering option can be useful when the caller cannot hear
announcement from their location. However, in instances where the
call might go to a group/multiple extensions (including this device),
the auto-answer may intercept that call and prevent it from ringing
on other devices.

Up to 10 extensions can be registered allowing up to 10 different
announcements. Audio files can also be easily uploaded to create
custom announcements.

Note: Some SIP phone systems may not support this feature if they

limit the number of extensions that can be registered on a single

device.

Extensions

Additional SIP extensions can be registered for each page zone that

will be used. This allows the advantage of dialing directly to a page

zone without needing to enter DMTF (e.g. speed-dial keys can be

used), but may require additional SIP licenses depending on the SIP

provider.

To configure additional page extensions (up to 50) click “Enable”

beside the target extension and enter the Extension, Authentication

ID, and Authentication password.

Note: Some SIP phone systems may not support this feature if they

limit the number of extensions that can be registered on a single

device.

Scheduler Tab – Calendar

The Scheduler can be deployed along with Algo IP speakers, paging
adapters and strobes to provide bell scheduling and automated
announcements.

Once a bell schedule has been configured in the Schedules tab (see
below), it can be added to the desired dates on the calendar. Multiple
different schedules can be created. For example, Fridays might have
a different schedule than the other weekdays.

From the drop down menu at the top of the calendar, select a
schedule (e.g. Regular weekday), then click on the calendar dates to
implement the schedule. When finished, click Save.

To clear the schedule from the entire month, select None (clear)
from the drop down menu, and click on the dates to clear.

and buttons can be used instead of clicking
individual dates to implement a specific schedule throughout the
month or to clear existing schedule for the whole month.

The schedule will need to be applied to each month separately.

Protocol

DHCP is an IP standard designed to make administration of IP

addresses simpler. When selected, DHCP will automatically configure

IP addresses for each 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler on the

network. Alternatively the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler can be

set to a static IP address.

VLAN Mode

Enables or Disables VLAN Tagging. VLAN Tagging is the networking

standard that supports Virtual LANs (VLANs) on an Ethernet network.
The standard defines a system of VLAN tagging for Ethernet frames
and the accompanying procedures to be used by bridges and
switches in handling such frames. The standard also provides
provisions for a quality of service prioritization scheme commonly
known as IEEE 802.1p and defines the Generic Attribute Registration
Protocol.

VLAN ID

Specifies the VLAN to which the Ethernet frame belongs. A 12-bit
field specifying the VLAN to which the Ethernet frame belongs. The
hexadecimal values of 0x000 and 0xFFF are reserved. All other
values may be used as VLAN identifiers, allowing up to 4094 VLANs.
The reserved value 0x000 indicates that the frame does not belong to
any VLAN; in this case, the 802.1Q tag specifies only a priority and is
referred to as a priority tag. On bridges, VLAN 1 (the default VLAN
ID) is often reserved for a management VLAN; this is vendor specific.

VLAN Priority

Sets the frame priority level. Otherwise known as Priority Code Point
(PCP), VLAN Priority is a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p
priority. It indicates the frame priority level. Values are from 0
(lowest) to 7 (highest).

Differentiated Services (6-bit DSCP value)

Provides quality of service if the DSCP protocol is supported on your
network. Can be specified independently for SIP control packets
versus RTP audio packets.

server on the network.

Web Interface Protocol

HTTPS is always enabled on the device. Use this setting to disable
HTTP. When HTTP is disabled, requests will be automatically
redirected to HTTPS. Also note that since the device can have any
address on the local network, no security certificate exists, and thus
most browsers will provide a warning when using HTTPS.

Advanced Settings Tab – Provisioning

Provisioning allows installers to pre-configure 8301 Paging Adapter &
Scheduler units prior to installation on a network. It is typically used
for large deployments to save time and ensure consistent setups.

The device can be provisioned via the Auto mode (where all three
DHCP options (Option 66/160/150) will be automatically checked for
an active provisioning server), just one of the three specified DHCP
options, or a Static Server. In addition, there are four different ways

to download provisioning files from a “Provisioning Server”: TFTP

(Trivial File Transfer Protocol), FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.

Page 57 www.algosolutions.com

8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler (FW 1.5)

For example, 8188 configuration files can be automatically
downloaded from a TFTP server using DHCP Option 66.
This option code (when set) supplies a TFTP boot server address to
the DHCP client to boot from.

DHCP must be enabled if using DHCP Option 66/160/150, in order for
Provisioning to work.

One of two files can be uploaded on the Provisioning Server (for
access via TFTP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS):

Generic (for all 8301 Paging Adaptors) algop8301.conf
Specific (for a specific MAC address) algom[MAC].conf

Both protocol and path is supported for Option 66, allowing for

http://myserver.com/config-path to be used.

MD5 Checksum

In addition to the .conf file, an .md5 checksum file must also be
uploaded to the Provisioning server. This checksum file is used to
verify that the .conf file is transferred correctly without error.

A tool such as can be found at the website address below may be
used to generate this file:

http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5

The application doesn’t need an installation. To use the tool, simply

unzip and run the application (md5) from a command prompt. The
proper .md5 file will be generated in the same directory.

If using the above tool, be sure to use the “-l” parameter to generate
lower case letters.

Generating a generic configuration file

1. Connect 8301 to the network

2. Access the 8301 Web Interface Control Panel

3. Configure the 8301 with desired options

4. Click on the System tab and then Maintenance.

8. File algop8301.conf can now be uploaded onto the Provisioning

server

If using a generic configuration file, extensions and credentials have
to be entered manually once the 8301 Paging Adapter & Scheduler
has automatically downloaded the configuration file.

Generating a specific configuration file

1. Follow steps 1 to 6 as listed in the section “Generating a generic

configuration file”.

2. Rename file settings.txt to algom[MAC address].conf (e.g.

algom0022EE020009.conf)

3. File algom[MAC address].conf can now be uploaded on the

Provisioning server.

The specific configuration file will only be downloaded by the 8301
Paging Adapter & Scheduler with the MAC address specified in the
configuration file name. Since all the necessary settings can be
included in this file, the 8301 will be ready to work immediately after
the configuration file is downloaded. The MAC address of each 8301
Paging Adapter & Scheduler can be found on the back label of the
unit.
