Important Safety Information INSTALLATION An improperly installed 8188 Ceiling Speaker could fall from the ceiling and cause serious injury or death. The four screw mounting clamps will adequately support the speaker if the ceiling material is sufficiently strong. An optional T-bar mounting bracket (Algo 8188-TBR) is recommended for acoustic ceiling tile and may be required for compliance with local building code.
About the Algo SIP 8188 Ceiling Speaker The 8188 Ceiling Speaker is a SIP compliant and multicast capable IP speaker suitable for voice paging, notification, and background music. The 6.5” (165mm) coaxial speaker is G.722 wideband capable and music capable using a fullband codec. An integrated microphone provides talkback capability and ambient noise detection for automatic level control. Dual SIP extensions provide both voice paging and notification (ring) capability.
Getting Started - Quick Install & Test This guide provides important safety information which should be read thoroughly before permanently installing the speaker. 1. Connect the 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker to an IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE network switch. The blue LED will remain on until boot up is completed – about 30 seconds. 2. After the blue LED turns off, press the reset switch (RST) to hear the IP address over the speaker.
Ceiling Installation The 8188 Ceiling Speaker is intended to be mounted in a T-bar acoustic tile or gypsum ceiling. The speaker may also be suspended using a chain or cable (see section – Suspended Installation). An optional T-Bar support bracket (8188-TBR) is available that can transfer the speaker weight onto the T-bar rails. Installation instructions are provided with the support bracket. The speaker is shipped with the metal protective grill removed for convenience.
After installation and testing, gently work the speaker grill into its friction fit position and ensure it is evenly flush to the housing around the edge. The speaker grill is intentionally tight to prevent falling from the ceiling. A tool supplied with the 8188 Ceiling Speaker can be used to remove the grill. If lost, a small Allen key or heavy duty paperclip bent into an L shape can be used to remove the grill by pulling close to the edge.
Apply a thread locking adhesive and install a ¼-20 eyebolt (not included) into the threaded nut insert on the top of the speaker housing. Screw the eye-bolt in completely (3/8”) and use a thread locking adhesive to prevent the bolt from working itself out. Suspend the speaker using chain or cable rated to support at least 3 x the weight of the speaker and preferably capable of supporting 200 lb (91 kg) loads in case the speaker is used for support while on a ladder.
address, extension, username, and password. This information will be available from the IT Administrator. If VLAN is used, navigate to the Advanced Network Settings tab to set VLAN options. (Note, once the speaker is using VLAN you will need to be on the same VLAN to access the web interface.) The speaker may now be accessed by dialling its assigned extension from a telephone, device, or client. The speaker will auto-answer, play the default WAV pre-announce tone, and allow voice paging until disconnected.
multicast addresses pre-populated in the table will work in most cases. To enable multicast monitoring in the other speakers, go to the web interface for each speaker and again navigate to the Basic Settings Multicast tab. This time though, choose multicast mode “Slave/Receiver”. There is no need to select a zone as the speaker will automatically monitor the “All Call” zone IP address. The page pre-announce tone is generated from the SIP/Master.
priority hierarchy – streaming activity on a zone higher on the list will be treated as a higher priority than a zone lower on the list – with music being the lowest priority. Priority All Call Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 4 Zone 5 Zone 6 Music In the scenario involving only one speaker registered as a SIP extension, the multicast page zone can be selected by keypad input.
SIP Activated Notification In addition to voice paging, the 8188 Ceiling Speaker can play audio files for emergency, safety, or security announcements. Audio WAV files can be stored in speaker memory and played over the speaker in response to an event such as ring or message waiting, and also multicast to other speakers on the network. SIP Ring Event Set Monitoring Mode to "Monitor Ring". When a call is made to the SIP extension the 8188 Ceiling Speaker will play the selected WAV file from memory.
Wiring Connections Network Connection The speaker provides a RJ45 jack for network connection. A cable run from the switch can be terminated to a modular jack with connection by patch cord, or terminated with a RJ45 plug. PoE (Power over Ethernet) must be 48V 350 mA IEEE 802.3af compliant whether provided by the network switch or injector. Terminal Block Relay In By default, these terminals are inactive.
the blue LED begins a double flash pattern. Release the reset button and allow the unit to complete its boot process. Do not press the reset button until the blue LED begins flashing. A reset will set all configuration options to factory default including the password. Once booting has completed, pressing the reset button will cause the speaker to annunciate its IP address over the speaker. Web Interface Login The web interface requires a password which is "algo" by default.
Basic Settings Tab - SIP Note: Any time changes are made to settings in the Web Interface the "Save" key must be clicked to save the changes SIP Domain (Proxy Server) SIP Server Name or IP Address Ring/Alert Mode Option for adding a second SIP extension for ring detection and playing WAV file.

Authentication Password SIP password provided by the system administrator for the SIP account. Basic Settings Tab - Features Ring Tone Select WAV file to play when a ring event is detected on the ring SIP extension. The WAV file may be played immediately to the speaker from the web interface for test purposes using the Play. Loop, and Stop buttons.
Ring Limit Typically set to no limit, this feature can be used to set a limit on how long the speaker will ring before timing out. A new ring event is required before the speaker will play the WAV file again. Page Mode A call to the SIP page extension can be one way, two way using the integrated microphone, or delayed. In delay mode, the speaker will store the page into memory and then play after disconnect. Page Timeout A time limit may be set for an active page.
Basic Settings Tab – Audio Ring Speaker Volume Set speaker volume for SIP ring event. This setting is an amplifier gain control and the output level will also depend on the levels recorded into the source WAV file played from memory. Page Speaker Volume Speaker page volume control for SIP or multicast paging. This setting is an amplifier gain control and output level will depend on streaming level. The AGC option can be used to normalize input levels.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) If enabled, SIP and multicast audio received by the speaker will be normalized prior to gain being applied. Various SIP telephones, clients, and devices have different level outputs and some talkers are louder than others. AGC can dramatically improve the consistency of output level and also ensure the speaker can reach full output.
Basic Settings Tab - Multicast (Master Settings) Multicast Mode (Master Selected) If master is enabled the 8188 Ceiling Speaker will broadcast an IP stream when activated in addition to playing the audio over its own speaker. (Note that the 8188 Ceiling Speaker cannot be both a multicast master and slave simultaneously). Master Zone Select the multicast zone to broadcast on.

Advanced Settings Tab – Provisioning Provisioning allows installers to pre-configure 8188 Ceiling Speaker units prior to installation on a network. It is typically used for large deployments to save time and ensure consistent setups. There are two different Provisioning methods that can be used: via DHCP Option 66 or via a Static Server. In addition, there are three different ways to download provisioning files from a “Provisioning Server”: TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), FTP, or HTTP.
One of two files can be uploaded on the Provisioning Server (for access via TFTP, FTP, or HTTP): Generic (for all Algo 8188 Speakers) Specific (for a specific MAC address) algop8188.conf algom[MAC].conf MD5 Checksum In addition to the .conf file, an .md5 checksum file must also be uploaded to the Provisioning server. This checksum file is used to verify that the .conf file is transferred correctly without error.
Generating a specific configuration file 1. Follow steps 1 to 6 as listed in the section “Generating a generic configuration file”. 2. Rename file settings.txt to algom[MAC address].conf (e.g. algom0022EE020009.conf) 3. File algom[MAC address].conf can now be uploaded on the Provisioning server. The specific configuration file will only be downloaded by the 8188 Ceiling Speaker with the MAC address specified in the configuration file name.
Advanced Settings Tab – Tones Ring Tone Files Included in Memory The 8188 Ceiling Speaker includes several pre-loaded WAV files that can be selected to play for ring events. The web interface allows selection of the WAV file and also the ability to play the WAV file immediately over the speaker for testing. Files may also be deleted or renamed. Uploading custom Ring Tones (WAV Files) Custom WAV files may be uploaded into memory to play on a Ring event or for other notification applications.
normalize the uploaded file using “Auto Sound Level” and also to compress from PCM to uLaw (G.711). Advanced Settings Tab - SIP Outbound Proxy IP address for outbound proxy. A proxy (server) stands between a private network and the internet. STUN Server IP address for STUN server if present. Register Period (seconds) Maximum requested period of time where the 8188 Ceiling Speaker will re-register with the SIP server. Default setting is 3600 seconds (1 hour). Only change if instructed otherwise.
Keep-alive Method If Double CRLF is selected the 8188 Ceiling Speaker will send a packet every 30 seconds (unless changed) to maintain connection with the SIP Server if behind NAT. Server Redundancy Feature Two secondary SIP servers may be configured. The 8188 Ceiling Speaker will attempt to register with the primary server but switch to a secondary server when necessary. The configuration allows reregistration to the primary server upon availability or to stay with a server until unresponsive.
Ceiling Speaker will always attempt to register with the highest priority server. Backup Server #2 If backup server #1 is unreachable the 8188 Ceiling Speaker will attempt to register with the 2nd backup server. If enabled the 8188 Ceiling Speaker will always attempt to register with the highest priority server. Polling Intervals (seconds) Time period between sending monitoring packets to each server. Non-active servers are always polled, and active server may optionally be polled (see below).
