The CyberData SIP-enabled Voice-over IP (VoIP) Paging Amplifier providesan easy method for
implementing an IP-based overhead paging system for both new and legacy installations.

The Amplifier provides direct drive of a standard Horn speaker and supports a
for connection to an external amplifier. The interface is compatible with most SIP-based IP PBX
servers that comply with the SIP RFC 3261. For non-SIP environments, the Paging Amplifier can be
configured to listen to multicast address and port number combinations toform paging zones.

MGROUPS uses multicasting to create Public Address Paging Zones. Multicasting is based on the
concept of a group. Multicast addresses specify an arbitrary group of IP hosts that have joined the
group and want to receive traffic sent to the group. Group members send IGMP messages to their
local multicast routers, allowing the group traffic traversal from the source.

MGROUP is also assigned a priority, allowing simultaneously arriving pages to be serviced based
on importance. MGROUPS are compatible with IGMP through version 3.
