Precautionary Designations
Mounting
The VIP-801 is designed for wall or table mounting.
Table: Provided with the VIP-801 are four rubber
pads. Peel the pads from their carrier backing
and place at the four corners of the bottom of the
unit.
Wall: Using the brackets and screws provided,
secure the VIP-801 to the wall.
Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a VIP-801 is via
a power over Ethernet switch meeting the 802.3af
specification.
If the rear panel barrel connector is used for power,
the preferred power supply is a Valcom VIP-324D.
Make all required signal connections before
applying power to the unit. If powering via 802.3af,
make sure all signal connections via the back panel
are made then connect the VIP-801 to the Ethernet
switch.
If power is supplied via the barrel connector, make
sure all signal connections are secure. Attach the
unit to the network via the front panel RJ-45
Ethernet connector. Apply power by plugging the
power supply into the VIP-801 via the barrel
connector on the rear of the VIP-801.
Network Connection
The VIP-801 has one RJ-45 network connector on
the front panel. Use a standard Ethernet patch
cable to connect the VIP-801 to an Ethernet switch.
Signal Connections
The VIP-801 has 4 signal connectors on the rear
panel:
RCA jack for AUX audio input
2 Pin screw terminal for audio output
6 Pin screw terminal for relay connections
4 Pin screw terminal for audio input and contact
closure input
AUX Input: Local audio may be input via the
rear panel RCA jack. Nominal input impedance
is 600 Ohms. Connect any compatible audio
source using an RCA patch cable. Audio
supplied through the rear panel RCA jack is
transformer coupled to Audio Out when Audio Out
is idle. This is typically used for background music.
Audio Out: Typically connects to Self Amplified
Speakers or into an amplifier. AUX Input audio
mutes when Audio Out is receiving page audio.
Audio Input/Contact Closure: The audio input
and contact closure share a four pin terminal
connection. Neither input is polarity sensitive.
The contact closure is on the right two terminals
labeled "CC". The audio input is on the left two
terminals labeled "AUDIO".
