How do I install an IP paging speaker?

[smalltownguy]

I have an on-site warehouse that we recently installed an IP phone into. The building houses our automotive detailing department, and there's always a higher noise level in there, with power buffers and water hoses being used.

What are my options for getting a bullhorn or paging speaker installed in the location? Is there some kind of hardware that is SIP compliant that will allow my team out there to hear pages?

SIP sets/devices are not supported on the BCM.
The sets you have are IP not SIP.


Best bet is maybe to get a spare small IP set and tap into the speaker and add it to the amps T and R input.
Or if just one speaker required attach an Algo Ring (with strobe light too if need) and you can also add a paging horn to the Algo Ringer if needs to be louder.

The BCM 50 system supports an external paging port so that you can attach it to a compatible device. You might also be able to install an external ringer so that it rings the IP Phone is called.

My mistake - I meant to say IP paging device, not SIP.

I'll look into the Algo Ringer

Which Algo Ring device is compatible with my Nortel BCM50-R5.0?

This link to a PDF file should provide you with all the answers.

These two PDF files are useful as one of them explains the use of the BCM's paging port

I am presuming you have network only access to the building, therefore page port is no helpful.

Here on page 19 is what I was referring to:

http://www.algosolutions.com/pdf/user_guides/1825_Duet_Plus_Installation_Guide_English.pdf

If you use the headset jack (not sure if possible on an IP set) then the ringer must be within 15 feet of phone so in this case add a horn to the ringer to where it needs to be in the wash bay and keep the ringe inside office near the set and turn its own speaker off.

I'd go with curlycord's suggestion to tap off the speaker of an IP phone and input it to an amplified speaker.

I like the idea of using the warbler for an easily detectable ring, but that doesn't solve my paging issue. I think I'm going to try and tap into the speaker leads of the speakerphone on the IP phoneset, and bring that to an amplifier. I'll just have to play with line levels to get things right.

I'll report back with results.
