IP Paging Adapter and Bell Scheduler
IP Paging Adapter for Traditional Analog
Amplifiers
The 8301 is a PoE IP Paging Adapter for integrating existing and traditional paging solutions into a VoIP environment, whether premise or cloud. Features include G.722 wideband support with isolated and balanced line output for optimum clarity and intelligibility without hum or noise.
Multicast capability allows scalability for any number of amplifiers as well as integration with Algo IP speakers
in zoned and large scale applications. Each 8301 can be configured for up to 50 page zones with more zoning
capability when multiple 8301s are deployed.
To the network side, the 8301 is a SIP endpoint for easy integration with an IP telephone system and easily
configured using the intuitive web interface or provisioning capabilities. On the paging side, the 8301 provides
balanced audio output using both an XLR connector and terminal block for easy connection to an amplifier, along
with a dry contact closure if required by the amplifier.
Further speech enhancement is provided by automatic level control, choice of frequency masks, and optional
speech compression. Output level is compatible with consumer, commercial, and pro-audio amplifiers requiring either -10 dBm, 0 dBm, or +4 dBu line level.
An audio input (also balanced and isolated to prevent equipment ground loops) can be used for auxiliary input
or insertion of the 8301 between existing equipment. This allows IP based paging or emergency notification to take control of the amplifier as necessary.
The 8301 also includes a scheduler for automated and precise play of WAV files suitable for school bells and public announcements. Messages may also be triggered
manually by placing a SIP call or pressing an optional external call button.
