  • 1.  Need Overhead Paging options for 8x8

    Posted 08-20-2025 05:04

    On our sites we have multiple buildings that are spread out so running additional wiring for overhead paging is going to be problematic. We wanted to see what other 8x8 users are doing for overhead paging using your network infrastructure.

    At a couple of sites we put in some Algo 8160 loud devices and just use them as AUX ringers for phones.  They are configured to ring when someone calls the polycom VVX350 in that area.  Can something like those be used as paging devices and put into groups so we can page multiple areas?

    Hi Jordan, thank you for your contribution to the 8x8 Community. I will ask our team if this is possible. I will update you shortly.

    Algo definitely has solutions for that.    Their products play nice with Poly's Multicast protocol.   At least that's what I remember unless things have changed in the last few years.
