  Automatic Gain Control (AGC) 
If enabled, SIP and multicast audio received by the speaker will be 
normalized prior to gain being applied. Various SIP telephones, 
clients, and devices have different level outputs and some talkers are 
louder than others. AGC can dramatically improve the consistency of 
output level and also ensure the speaker can reach full output. 
  Audio Delay 
When paging to the 8188 Ceiling Speaker as well as other third party 
devices, the low latency of the 8188 Ceiling Speaker may lead other 
devices. By adding audio delay up to one second, the 8188 Ceiling 
Speaker may be synchronized with other speakers or telephones that 
have greater latency. 
Multicast IP Addresses 
  Each 8188 Ceiling Speaker has its own IP address, and shares a 
common multicast IP and port number (multicast zone) for multicast 
packets. The master speaker transmits to a configurable multicast 
zone, and the slave units listen to all the multicast zones assigned to 
them. 
  The network switches and router see the packet and deliver it to all 
the members of the group. The multicast IP and port number must 
be the same on all the master and slave units of one group. The user 
may define multiple zones by picking different multicast IP addresses 
and/or port numbers. 
1.  Multicast IP addresses range: 224.0.0.0/4 
(from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) 
2.  Port numbers range: 1 to 65535 
3.  By default, the 8188 Ceiling Speaker is set to 
use the multicast IP address 224.0.2.60 and 
the port numbers 50000-50008 
  Make sure that the multicast IP address and port number do not 
conflict with other services and devices on the same network
