Algo paging devices can be integrated into a NocTel account to work with the paging feature on Polycom and other handsets. Follow the steps in this guide to add a new Algo device and add it to a paging zone.
Adding an Algo Device:
- Log in to the NocTel Control Panel.
- Click “Extensions” on the left-hand menu.
- Click the “Add a New Extension” link at the top of the Extensions page.
- From the list of devices locate the “Algo Paging Device” and click “Add Device”
- On the Algo Device Provisioning page read through the steps and ensure that the device you are adding is on the approved list.
- In step 3 enter the device’s MAC Address, give the device an extension number, and name the device.
- Follow the steps on the next page to provision the Algo device.
- Click Submit.
Algo Device Provisioning:
If you are adding a device that has already been configured for NocTel, including most devices purchased from us, simply plug it in and it should pick up its new configuration. The device may reboot two or three times during this process to update its firmware.
If your device does not simply power up and work:
- Log into your Algo device's web interface (the default password is algo).
- Navigate to Advanced Settings --> Provisioning page.
- Set the Server Method to Static. Enter noctel.com for the server. Select the HTTPS download method.
- Click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
- Click the Reboot button to reboot your device.
The speaker will reboot, connect to NocTel.com to receive it's configuration, upgrade if necessary, and then be operational within a matter of 2-3 minutes.
