Overview
Introduction
The 8373 Zone Paging Adapter creates multiple paging zones, while interfacing
between the SIP-enabled phone system and the traditional paging amplifier. When
answering an inbound call, the 8373 can route the call’s audio to the amplifier, via an
analog connector. One amplified audio stream can then be fed back into the 8373 and
sent to one or more of the three speaker Channels at a time. It is important to note that
the 8373 doesn’t allow different audio streams to play on two Channels simultaneously
as it is designed to interface with a single amplifier. To interface with multiple amplifiers,
we recommend using multiple Algo 8301 Paging Adapters instead.
The 8373 can register as a voice paging SIP extension with a hosted or enterprise
Communications Server supporting 3
rd
party SIP endpoints. Multiple SIP paging
extensions may also be registered on the 8373, one for each zone in use.
Multicasting capabilities allow a SIP registered 8373 to page and simultaneously stream
multicast audio to other Algo devices. Only one 8373 is required to register as a SIP
extension when using multiple adapters in a SIP environment.
Connection to the amplifier is made using a balanced and isolated line level output
provided as either an XLR-mini connection (front) or pluggable terminal block for twisted
pair wiring (back). The audio level can be adjusted manually or set to a defined level
independent of input.
The 8373 Zone Paging Adapter is configured using central provisioning features or by
accessing a web interface using browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
