Problem

Algo 8180 functions as a pager, and not a ringer.

When the customer wants to use the Algo extension in a Ring Group, so it can alert by ringing over the speakers instead of paging. 

Solution

The Algo needs to be activated using SIP Credentials.

How to factory reset the Algo:

• If the Algo has already been activated using the Provisioning URL, then factory reset the device by navigating to the System tab and selecting the Maintenance tab. 

• In the Backup/Restore Configuration section, select the Restore Defaults button.

  

• Select OK when prompted.

  

• Select the Reboot button when prompted. After a few minutes, the device will come back online in its factory default state, including the default password: algo.

  

Algo Setup with SIP Authentication:

Log into the Algo and set the following for SIP registration (FOR SIP Integration only):

• Auth name = GUN/Username

• Page Extension = GUN/Username

• Auth Password = SIP Password

• URL = unsbc.8x8.com:5299

• Set as NON-SRTP

SIP Registration:

1. Navigate to the Control Panel.

2. Click Basic Settings > SIP.

   

3. Enter the GUN into the Auth name and Extension.

4. Enter the SIP Password into the Auth Password.

5. Enter unsbc.8x8.com:5299 into SIP Domain.

   

Finally, check the device status page, and it should show as Ring #1 Successful.

Reason

The Algo will only function as a pager when activated using our Provisioning URL.
