Description
Need reliable zone paging and scheduled bells without tying up dozens of SIP extensions? The CyberData InformaCast Enabled SIP Paging Server + (011601) gives our customers a single SIP extension that reaches 100 multicast zones while also working with Singlewire InformaCast emergency notification software. It sends and receives standard and Poly multicast, includes a calendar-based bell scheduler, and passes DTMF to legacy analog amplifiers. Schools, universities, manufacturing floors, and any facility that needs clear, timed announcements get a compact PoE device that fits right into on-premise or cloud VoIP systems.
The Telecom Spot Take
This unit stands out for facilities managers and IT directors who already run InformaCast or plan to add it. You get the full 100-zone SIP paging and bell scheduling power of CyberData’s Paging Server + line, plus the ability to send InformaCast pages out to multicast endpoints. The built-in web interface makes schedule setup straightforward, and the DTMF pass-through means existing analog amplifiers stay in service. For campuses or plants that need both everyday zone paging and emergency notification readiness, this is a clean, single-device answer based on CyberData’s published capabilities.
Key Features
- Single SIP extension reaches 100 paging groups via DTMF, so phone-system resources stay free while every zone stays addressable.
- Native support for sending InformaCast pages to multicast endpoints keeps emergency and routine messages on the same infrastructure.
- Calendar-based bell scheduler lets you load multiple schedule files and set recurring events that play to any of the 100 zones.
- Sends and receives both standard multicast and all Poly channels, giving flexibility with Poly phones and other multicast devices.
- Over 1 GB of storage holds up to 135 user-uploaded files for stored messages, bells, and custom audio.
- Loud/Night Ringer second SIP extension plus user-uploadable tones and the option to play a stored message with each page group.
- DTMF pass-through and 600-Ohm page-port output integrate cleanly with existing analog or legacy amplifiers.
- Paging prioritization, delayed-page buffering, security codes, and voice-prompted password-controlled zones reduce unwanted or conflicting traffic.
- Line-in for background music, line-out, audio-controlled onboard relay for amplifier mute, and fault-sense input.
- TLS 1.2, SRTP, HTTPS configuration, Two-Factor Authentication, multiple user accounts, Cisco SRST resiliency, and autoprovisioning via HTTPS/HTTP/TFTP.
- Compact, rack-mountable PoE 802.3af design (or optional 48 VDC) that works with the majority of on-premise and cloud VoIP systems, SBCs, and gateways.

Comparison at a Glance
- Versus the non-InformaCast SIP Paging Server+ (011600): same 100-zone SIP paging, bell scheduler, storage, Poly multicast, and analog integration; the 011601 adds InformaCast page support and related protocol compatibility.
- Versus earlier CyberData paging servers (such as the 011146 series): higher storage capacity (up to 135 files), explicit Two-Factor Authentication, full Poly-channel send/receive, and current InformaCast enablement while keeping the same core 100-zone and DTMF approach.
FAQ
How many zones can I reach with one SIP extension?
Up to 100 paging groups are accessed via DTMF from a single registered SIP extension.
Does it work with Singlewire InformaCast?
Yes. The unit supports sending InformaCast pages to multicast endpoints and is listed as InformaCast Enabled (compatible with InformaCast v4.0 and above per manufacturer data).
Can it still drive my existing analog amplifiers?
Yes. DTMF pass-through and a balanced 600-Ohm page-port output are provided specifically for analog or legacy paging amplifiers.
Is Poly Group Paging supported?
The device can send or receive multicast on any Poly channel as well as standard multicast.
How is power supplied?
Standard PoE 802.3af or an optional external 48 VDC supply (not included).
What security features are included?
TLS 1.2, SRTP, HTTPS web configuration (enabled by default), Two-Factor Authentication, security codes to block unwanted SIP calls, and multiple distinct user accounts.
