INSTALLATION
Mounting
The VIP-801-IC is designed for wall or table
mounting.
Table:
Provided with the VIP-801-IC 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-IC to the wall.
Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a VIP-801-IC 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
Power over Ethernet, make sure all signal
connections via the back panel are made then
connect the VIP-801-IC 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-IC via the barrel
connector on the rear of the VIP-801-IC.
Network Connection
The VIP-801-IC has one RJ-45 network connector
on the front panel.
Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect the
VIP-801-IC to an Ethernet switch.
Signal Connections
The VIP-801-IC has 2 active signal connectors on
the rear panel:
2 Pin screw terminal for audio output
6 Pin screw terminal for relay connections
(Connectors AUX, K2, INPUTS are not used)
Audio Out:
Typically connects to Self Amplified
Speakers or into an amplifier. AUX Input audio
mutes when Audio Out is receiving page audio.
Relay Channels:
Access to the form C relay is
provided via three screw terminals (on a six pin
screw terminal block) labeled K1. The common
contact is the middle terminal with the normally
closed (N.C) contact on the left and the normally
open (N.O.) contact on the right. Relay contacts
are rated for 1A @ 24VDC.
Rear View
Status Indicator Lights
The VIP-801-IC has 3 status indication lights on the
front panel:
STATUS:
Flashes during normal operation and
solid during system startup.
LINK:
Indicates a 100 Mbit Ethernet connection
when illuminated. A non-illuminated LINK LED
indicates a 10 Mbit connection or no network
connection.
ACT:
Indicator flashes to indicate network activity.
Setup
The VIP-801-IC will automatically acquire an IP
address (using DHCP) and connect to the
InformaCast server when connected to the network
and powered up. Information specific to your
application will need to be programmed into the
InformaCast server. Refer to the InformaCast
documentation for further information.
