Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a
VIP-848AR-IC is via a Power over Ethernet (PoE)
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
Power over Ethernet (PoE), make sure all signal
connections via the rear panel are made then
connect the VIP-848AR-IC to the Ethernet switch.
If power is provided 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 in to the VIP-848AR-IC
via the barrel connector on the rear of the
VIP-848AR-IC.

connector on the front panel.
