8301 IP Paging Adapter & Scheduler
support@algosolutions.com
Multicast Type
The 8301 may broadcast multicast paging, compatible with Polycom “on premise group paging” protocol and most
multicast-enabled phones that use RTP audio packets.
Select ‘Regular’ if solely multicasting to Algo IP endpoints and/or multicast-enabled phones.
To multicast page announcements solely to Polycom phones, select ‘Poly Group Page’ or ‘Push-to-Talk’. Then,
configure the 8301 with the ‘Poly Zone’ (IP Address and Port) and ‘Polycom Default Channel’.
Note
Always ensure that the multicast settings on all Receiver devices match those of the Transmitter
Select ‘Regular RTP + Poly Group Page/Push-to-Talk’ to multicast page audio to both Polycom phones, Algo IP
endpoints, and multicast-enabled phones.
Number of Zones
Select ‘Basic Zones Only’ if configuring nine or fewer multicast zones (shown beside ‘Speaker Playback Zones’) or
select ‘Basic and Expanded Zones’ to configure up to 50 zones. The expanded zones have the same behavior as the
basic Receiver zones but are hidden by default to simplify the interface.
Transmitter (Sender) Zone Settings
Zone Selection Mode
‘Single Zone’ always broadcasts on one pre-configured zone. In ‘DTMF Selectable Zone’ mode, the zone is determined
by the DTMF selection between 0 – 50. Once multicast Transmitter mode is enabled, navigate to Advanced Settings →
Advanced Multicast to find the DTMF codes corresponding to each zone.
Zone Selection Mode
“Single Zone” mode always broadcasts on one IP address.
Note
Multiple SIP extensions can be registered on the Transmitter device. Each extension is mapped to a unique zone,
allowing zones to be called directly (e.g., from speed-dial keys). See Additional Features

page zone (e.g., 1, 2, etc.) on the keypad when prompted.
