Mounting
The VIP-432-DF is designed for flush mounting on
a hollow surface or to a Valcom backbox. Using the
dimensions shown in Figure 2 as a guide, cut a hole
in the mounting surface large enough to allow
recessing the VIP-432-DF into the wall. 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-432-DF to the surface. Alternatively, Valcom
backbox model VB-R19 is available for mounting
this model.
Network Connection
The VIP-432-DF has one RJ-45 network connector
on the rear panel. Use the standard Ethernet
patch cable and connect the VIP-432-DF to an
Ethernet switch. (See Figure 1)
Call Switch Connection
The VIP-432-DF provides a call switch input via
screw terminal connections. (See Figure 1)
Mute Out Connection
The Mute Out may optionally be connected to the
mute input of Valcom Classroom audio
management systems in order to suspend locally
originated classroom audio during intercom
announcements.
LED Connection
LED (+) and (-) is a current limited output designed
to illuminate an optional LED. The LED is intended
to provide visual indication of call progress. The
LED illumination will flash when the call switch is
pressed and will continue to flash until the call is
answered. The LED illumination will be solid when
a connection to the unit is established.
-10 dB Line Level Out Connection
The -10dBm Line Level Out may be connected to
up to 40 Valcom Self Amplified Speakers in order to
provide additional sound reinforcement in an area.
Setup
Information specific to your application will need
to be programmed into the VIP-432-DF using a
computer. The PC used for programming should
be connected to the same subnet as the
VIP-432-DF. Setup will be done using the IP
Solutions Setup Tool. The IP Solutions Setup Tool
may be downloaded from the Valcom website at
www.valcom.com/vipsetuptool.
