Use this guide to create a new ringer extension using an existing paging speaker that can ring with a Poly (Polycom) phone. This is useful for creating a loud ringing option for phones in noisy areas such as workshops, cafeterias, gyms, vehicle/bus bays, etc. Use this guide only if the Algo paging speaker is also being used for standard paging applications. This guide assumes that the Algo paging extension has already been set up.

Create a new Generic SIP Extension: 

  1. From the control panel, click on Extensions.
  2. Click the Add a New Extension link.
  3. Find the Generic SIP device option on the new screen and click Add Device.
  4. On the new device page, click the pencil icon to give the extension a name and number. Then click save to confirm the change.
  5. Take note of the "How to Configure Your Generic SIP Device" information located at the bottom of the page.

  3. Navigate to Basic Settings --> SIP. Use the generic SIP ID and password from the new extension in the Ring/Alert Extension section

Adding the Generic SIP extension to the Poly phone ring:
