The slave 8128 Strobes require a PoE network connection but do not
require registration to the SIP server.
In fact, since the 8128 Strobe can also be activated by dry contact
closure, it is possible to have one or multiple 8128 Strobes activate in
unison over multiple sites without any SIP server at all.
Multicast IP Addresses
Each 8128 Strobe has its own IP address, and shares a common
multicast IP and port number (multicast zone) for multicast packets.
The master unit transmits to a configurable multicast zone, and all
the slave units listen to the multicast zones assigned to them. When
a master unit receives a valid SIP ring event, it will flash locally and
also send out a special packet to the multicast zone. 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 8128 Strobe 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
