Configuring the Algo

This section is intended for use with a stand alone ALGO 8180. Although you may setup other settings within your ALGO to conduct other paging services or features, this particular setup is the recommended and supported version by Altigen while used for Teams in conjunction with MaxCloud. Any derivation from this may result in the support engineer requesting that you Factory Reset the device and follow these steps for trouble-shooting purposes to get basic functionality working. Further configurations or modifications are on the owners discretion and may require support from ALGO.

Preparing the Algo

Be prepared to need a PC locally connected to the same subnet as the Algo once reset. ALGO default IP is 192.168.10111

1a. Soft Reset

A soft reset will restore all device settings back to the original factory default conditions. To perform a soft reset, disconnect and connect the network cable, ensuring that there is power to the device. Once the LED starts to flash, hold down the IP Addr (Reset) button until the LED light flickers at a faster rate, then release. When the speaker plays a tone, the reset is complete.

Once complete, launch the locator program to find your device, or push the button on the back-side of the device labeled IP Addr (Reset) once again to have IP read. Repeat, press to stop
