INSTALLATION 

Operation 

The VIP-9880 provides IP loudspeaker paging 
access via network connection to customer 
telephone system or stand alone telephone set.  
Interface to customer telephone system can be 
via SIP registration, FXO or FXS port (with 
appropriate PBX connection and Valcom        
VIP-81x/82x). 
 

 

Mounting 

The VIP-9880 is designed for flush mounting on a 
hollow surface or to a Valcom backbox.  Using 
Figure 1 as a guide, cut a hole in the mounting 
surface large enough to allow recessing the 
FlexHorn into the wall.  Please note the depth 
requirement necessary for flush mounting as 
shown in Figure 1.  Next, drill mounting holes in 
the surface to align with the four mounting holes 
in the grille.  Using appropriate anchors and 
screws (not included), mount the VIP-9880 to the 
surface.  Alternatively, Valcom’s backbox model 
VB-R17-D is available for mounting this model. 
 

Power Connections 

The only method of powering a VIP-9880 
Network Interface is via a Power over Ethernet 
(PoE) network switch or power injector meeting 
the 802.3af specification. 
 

Network Connection

 

The VIP-9880 has one RJ-45 Ethernet network 
connector on the circuit board.  Use a standard 
Ethernet patch cable to connect the Ethernet 
connector of the VIP-9880 to an Ethernet switch. 

Signal Connections

 

Audio signal connections from the network 
interface to the FlexHorn are provided through a 
screw terminal and are pre-wired at the factory.  
No further connections are required. 

 

Status Indicator Lights 

The VIP-9880 Network Interface has 2 status 
indicator lights on the RJ-45 Ethernet connector.  
One LED (left corner) indicates Link when lit, the 
other LED flashes to indicate network activity. 
 

Setup 

Information specific to your application will need 
to be programmed into the VIP-9880 using a 
computer.  The PC used for programming should 
be connected to the same subnet as the  
VIP-9880.
