How to set Algo 8180 as Ringer

Updated: 09/30/2025

Problem

Algo 8180 functions as a pager, and not a ringer.
When the customer wants to use the Algo extension in a Ring Group, so it can alert by ringing over the speakers instead of paging. 

Solution

The Algo needs to be activated using SIP Credentials.
How to factory reset the Algo:
  • If the Algo has already been activated using the Provisioning URL, then factory reset the device by navigating to the System tab and selecting the Maintenance tab. 
  • In the Backup/Restore Configuration section, select the Restore Defaults button.

  • Select OK when prompted.

  • Select the Reboot button when prompted. After a few minutes, the device will come back online in its factory default state, including the default password: algo.

Algo Setup with SIP Authentication:

Log into the Algo and set the following for SIP registration (FOR SIP Integration only):
  • Auth name = GUN/Username
  • Page Extension = GUN/Username
  • Auth Password = SIP Password
  • URL = unsbc.8x8.com:5299
  • Set as NON-SRTP

SIP Registration:
