multicast addresses pre-populated in the table will work in most 
cases.  
To enable multicast monitoring in the other speakers, go to the web 
interface for each speaker and again navigate to the Basic Settings 
 Multicast tab. This time though, choose multicast mode 
“Slave/Receiver”. There is no need to select a zone as the speaker 
will automatically monitor the “All Call” zone IP address.  
The page pre-announce tone is generated from the SIP/Master. The 
following options are valid for each multicast slave speaker: 
  Increase or Decrease Speaker Volume  
  Enable Ambient Noise Monitoring (speaker volume adapts to 
background noise) 
Talkback can only be used for the SIP/master speaker. When paging 
with talkback enabled, only the area near the SIP/master speaker is 
covered for talkback. The microphones in the multicast/slave  
speakers are disabled except for ambient noise monitoring. 
SIP Paging Multiple Speakers (Using 
Individual SIP extensions) 
In some cases it may be desirable for every speaker to have a SIP 
extension. Multicast may still be used to page multiple speakers but 
each speaker can also be called individually or generate a call when 
appropriately configured. 
A speaker configured as a SIP Multicast Slave will give its highest 
priority to a page using its SIP extension. 
Communication Servers with the capability of dialling many SIP 
extensions simultaneously for paging may be able to create zones by 
call hunt groups and also page telephone speakers in conjunction 
with overhead speakers. 
Multicast Page Zones 
The 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker currently supports nine separate 
multicast “zones” defined by the multicast IP addresses. 
Somewhat arbitrarily, these zones are defined as below but may be 
used in other ways. The important consideration is that there is a
