Manually configuring ALGO intercoms
In this example we are working with a ALGO 8180G2 with firmware 1.7.6. The 8180 IP Audio Alerter
Wideband IP Speaker for Voice Paging, Emergency Alerting & Loud Ringing.
The 8180 SIP Audio Alerter is a wall mount IP speaker for voice paging, emergency alerting and loud ringing applications. The speaker is a fully compliant 3rd party SIP endpoint.
For specification of ALGO hardware and documentation see their website at https://www.algosolutions.com/products/ip-intercoms/
We do not officially support the ALGO devices... however here is how we have manually provisioned this device.
Note: You will need to make sure you have the device already created in VCP and have the device line credentials ready before continuing.
Initial Setup
- Plug the Network/LAN/Ethernet cable into the Internet port of the ALGO device and wait several moments for the device to acquire an IP Address.
2. Get the device's IP Address by pressing "IP Addr" button on the bottom of the device, you will hear the ALGO device announce the IP address.
3. Using the IP address logging in to device’s web administration page. Enter the IP address into your web browser for example: http://192.168.1.xxx
4. You will be prompted to login, the default admin login is `algo`.
