INSTALLATION
Operation
The VIP-580 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-580 is designed for surface mounting on
a solid surface. Remove the grille from the
backbox enclosure and disconnect the FlexHorn
wire harness from the network interface board.
Pre-drilled 13/64” mounting holes in the back of
the enclosure are designed to fit a single gang,
double gang or octagon outlet box. If not
attaching to an outlet box, use the enclosure as a
template and mark the location of mounting
holes. Depending on wall construction type,
prepare the mounting hole locations on the wall
to securely attach the enclosure. Insert Ethernet
wiring through large hole in rear panel of
enclosure and connect to the Ethernet RJ-45
socket. Use mounting hardware (not included)
appropriate for the wall type to securely mount
the enclosure to the wall or outlet box. With the
enclosure securely mounted, reconnect the
FlexHorn wiring harness to the network interface
board and install the FlexHorn faceplate to the
enclosure using the four screws provided.
Power Connections
The only method of powering a VIP-580 IP
FlexHorn is via a Power over Ethernet (PoE)
network switch or power injector meeting the
802.3af specification.
Network Connection
The VIP-580 has one Ethernet RJ-45 network
connector on the circuit board. Connect an
Ethernet patch cable from the network switch to
the VIP-580 Ethernet RJ-45 socket before
attaching the grille to the enclosure.
Signal Connections
Signal connections from the network interface to
the FlexHorn are provided through an attached
wiring harness pre-wired at the factory. If the
horn was disconnected while mounting the
enclosure, reconnect the two-wire harness to
screw terminal P3 on the network interface board
before attaching the grille to the enclosure.
Status Indicator Lights
The VIP-580 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-580 using a
computer. The PC used for programming should
be connected to the same subnet as the VIP-580.
Setup will be done using the IP Solutions Setup
Tool. The IP Solutions Setup Tool may be
downloaded from the Valcom web site at
