[SIP Paging Gateway](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/sip-paging-gateway?hsLang=en) # How do I configure Algo & Cyberdata Emergency Paging / Broadcast-Multicast ALGO & CYBERDATA CONFIGURATION \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* The Receivers:  The Algo 8301 (connected to your main amplifier), Algo 8420 (IP Display/Speaker), Algo 8196 (IP Ceiling Speaker), and Algo 8128 (Visual Strobe Light) will be configured to "listen" to a high-priority emergency multicast address. The Transmitters:  Both the Algo 8450 IP Console and the CyberData Emergency Button will be configured to "broadcast" to that same high-priority address. Step 1:  Establish Your Emergency Multicast Channel: Choose a dedicated multicast IP address and port that is not in use elsewhere on your network. Recommended Emergency Channel: 224.0.2.1:50001 Step 2:  Configure the Receivers (Algo 8301, 8420, 8196, 8128) You must set up your endpoint devices to dynamically switch on their audio (and visual flashes) when an emergency transmission occurs. -Log into the web interface of each Algo receiving device (8301, 8420, 8196, 8128) -Navigate to Basic Settings -\> Multicast.Set the Multicast Mode to Receiver. -Look at the Receiver Type / Priority Matrix. Find Priority 1 (Highest). -Configure Priority 1 with your emergency channel:IP Address: 224.0.2.1Port: 50001 -Set the Polycom Zone / Channel to None/Basic (unless using a Poly environment). -For the 8420 & 8196 Speakers: Ensure the "Volume" for Priority 1 is set to maximum.For the 8128 Strobe: Choose an aggressive flash pattern (e.g., fast red) to fire off when this priority is activated. Click Save. Step 3:  -Configure Transmitter #1: (Algo 8450 IP Console)The Algo 8450 needs a dedicated touchscreen button to manually fire the alert and broadcast your live voice. -Log into the Algo 8450 Web GUI.Navigate to Basic Settings -\> Multicast. -Set the device Multicast Mode to Transmitter. -Define your zone channel under Transmitter Zones: -Zone 1 Tag: Emergency Lockdown:IP Address: 224.0.2.1Port: 50001 -Go to Basic Settings -\> Display (or Buttons) to assign it to the screen. -Select an available touchscreen button grid slot and choose:Action Type: Start Emergency Alert or Mic MulticastTarget Zone:  -Zone 1 (Emergency Lockdown)Button Label: EMERGENCY ALERTClick Save. Pressing this button will now push audio to your network. Step 4:  -Configure Transmitter #2 (CyberData Emergency Button) Because your CyberData device is a one-button panic switch, it does not have a microphone for outbound live talking.  It will be programmed to push a pre-recorded emergency audio file to the multicast channel when slapped -Log into the CyberData Panic Button web interface. -Navigate to the Multicast or Paging tab. -Look for the Multicast Transmitter / Outbound Paging fields. -Input your emergency destination parameters: -Multicast IP: 224.0.2.1 Port: 50001 -Go to the Device Configuration / Audio settings. -Upload your desired emergency alert WAV file (e.g., a siren track or a recorded "Lockdown, take shelter" message). -Set the button press action to Play and Loop Audio File via Multicast.Click Save and reboot the device Step 5: Setting up the Inbound Voice Page: -Your request notes that all devices (except the CyberData panic button) should also receive a standard voice paging message through their speakers. -On the Algo 8301, 8420, and 8196 units, go back to Basic Settings -\> Multicast. -Go further down the priority matrix to a lower priority slot (e.g., Priority 3). -Assign a generic paging multicast address: IP Address: 224.0.2.5 Port: 50005 -On the Algo 8450 Console, configure a second touchscreen button mapped to send to 224.0.2.5:50005 labeled Daily Page. Because the Emergency Alert (224.0.2.1) is configured at Priority 1, if a standard background page is happening on Priority 3: CyberData button or the emergency console trigger, the Algo endpoints will instantly cut off the daily announcement and force-play the emergency alert instead. - [Cloud Management Platforms](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/cloud-management-platforms?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Fanvil](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/cloud-management-platforms?hsLang=en#fanvil) - [SIP Paging Gateway](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/sip-paging-gateway?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Fanvil](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/sip-paging-gateway?hsLang=en#fanvil) - [Device Factory Resets](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/device-factory-resets?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Fanvil](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/device-factory-resets?hsLang=en#fanvil) - [SIP Register Configuration](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/sip-register-configuration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Fanvil](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/sip-register-configuration?hsLang=en#fanvil) - [Provisioning Devices](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/provisioning-devices?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Grandstream GXW42XX / VoIP Gateway](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/provisioning-devices?hsLang=en#grandstream-gxw42xx-voip-gateway) - [Broadcast / Multicast](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/broadcast-multicast?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Fanvil](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/broadcast-multicast?hsLang=en#fanvil) - [Device / Network Configuration](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/device-network-configuration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Fanvil](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/device-network-configuration?hsLang=en#fanvil) - [Grandstream](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/device-network-configuration?hsLang=en#grandstream) - [Yeastar PBX](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/device-network-configuration?hsLang=en#yeastar-pbx) - [Poly / HP](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/device-network-configuration?hsLang=en#poly-hp) - [Network Troubleshooting](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/network-troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Yeastar PBX](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/network-troubleshooting?hsLang=en#yeastar-pbx) - [Backup & Restore](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/backup-restore?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Yeastar Backup & Restore](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/backup-restore?hsLang=en#yeastar-backup-restore) - [PBX Licensing](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/pbx-licensing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Switchvox PBX](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/pbx-licensing?hsLang=en#switchvox-pbx) - [Provisioning Services](https://help.voipsupply.com/migration/en/knowledge/provisioning-services?hsLang=en) VoIP Supply Help Center Copyright © 2026, VoIP Supply
