3 APPLICATIONS
3.1 Connecting Paging Amplifier to UC Environment
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 for voice paging, emergency alerting, night bell / loud ringing, bell
scheduling and playing music. It provides a hybrid voice paging solution to integrate analog speaker infrastructure and
multicast to Algo IP speakers, strobe lights and paging adapters, in addition to multicast supported IP telephones.
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 of ATA through a “telephone answering device”, the 8301 will replace the
answering device and eliminate the need for a FXS port or ATA. Please note the 8301 does not provide a FXS port
interface.
The 8301 may also be configured as a multicast transmitter to a set of IP endpoints, such as other Algo IP endpoints
and certain multicast-capable IP phones.
3.2 Notification
The 8301 is often used for notification alerting for emergency (e.g., lockdown, evacuation, reverse evacuation), safety
(e.g., medical, workplace accident), security events (e.g., OSHA or similar workplace regulations).
3.3 Scheduling
The 8301 includes a calendaring functionality synchronized to NTP and can be used to schedule school bells, play
automated announcements for retail and healthcare, and notify workplace shift changes and breaks.
3.4 Multicasting
The 8301 can be used as the central multicasting device in Algo endpoint deployments where it is desired to keep the
central multicasting device placed in a secure closet or location away from traffic areas.
