Guide on Using Algo 8128 IP Visual Alerter

An Algo 8128 Visual Alerter Strobe Light can be added into the NocTel account to be used in conjunction with another SIP device such as a Poly phone. It is an ideal option in areas such as a band room, machine shop, or gym, where loud ambient noises can drown out the sound of a ringing phone.
