For simple installations, these hardware switch settings may be the only configuration necessary. If so, proceed to the wiring
connections section for diagrams showing typical connections to amplifiers or page controllers.
For access to other features available on the V-9972, additional programming may be done using any of the following methods:
• DTMF tones from a telephone system connected to the FXS or FXO Input port. A single-line phone may be used by itself on
the FXS port.
• Using the Valcom VIP-102B IP Solutions Setup Tool. The tool and reference manual are available for download from
www.valcom.com/vipsetuptool.
• Through the built-in web interface
Access to the web interface or with the VIP-102B Setup tool for programming requires the V-9972 to have a valid IP address.
By default, the V-9972 will try to acquire an IP address using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) when connected to
the network. Check with the local network administrator to determine what IP address was assigned from DHCP. If DHCP is not
available, the V-9972 will default to an IP address of 192.168.6.207 after 3 minutes. The VIP-102B Setup tool may be used to
discover the IP address, either by using the Scan function or the Network Diagnostics function in the tool. The tool can also be
used to set the IP address using multicast communication. Refer to the VIP-102B Setup tool reference manual for more details.
Using a telephone connected to the analog port on the V-9972 to set the IP address is discussed in the next section.
