Power Connections
The only method of powering a VIP-148AL
Network Interface is via a Power over Ethernet
(PoE) switch or power injector meeting the
802.3af specification. Make all required signal
connections before connecting to Ethernet switch
or power injector meeting the 802.3af
specification.
Network Connection
The VIP-148AL Network Interface has one RJ-45
Ethernet network connector and one RJ-45 horn
connector.
Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect
the VIP-148AL to an Ethernet switch.
Signal Connections
Audio output connection is made from the Signal
Output. The RJ-45 connector on the horn is
connected directly to the RJ-45 Signal Output
socket on the Network Interface. If additional
length is required, any standard T568B extension
may be used. See Figure 4
.
If desired, a normally-open call button may be
connected to the Blue, White/Blue pair of the
horn RJ-45 connector.
The VM-186 RJ-45 connector provides easy
access to these connections.
Status Indicator Lights
The VIP-148AL has 2 status indication lights
located on network jack:
Green LED:
(Link) Indicates Ethernet
connection when illuminated.
Yellow LED:
(Activity) Indicator flashes to
indicate network activity.
Setup
Information specific to your application will need
to be programmed into the VIP-148AL using a
computer. The PC used for programming should
be connected to the same subnet as the
VIP-148AL. Setup will be done using the IP
Solutions Setup Tool. The IP Solutions Setup
Tool is available for download on the Valcom
website at www.valcom.com/vipsetuptool.
