Precautionary Designations
Mounting
The VIP-801A is designed for wall or table
mounting.
Table:
Provided with the VIP-801A are four rubber
pads. Peel the pads from their carrier backing
and place at the four corners of the bottom of the
unit.
Wall:
Using the brackets and screws provided,
secure the VIP-801A to the wall.
Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a VIP-801A 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 802.3af,
make sure all signal connections via the back panel
are made then connect the VIP-801A to the
Ethernet switch.
If power is supplied 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 into the VIP-801A via the barrel
connector on the rear of the VIP-801A.
Network Connection
The VIP-801A has one RJ-45 network connector on
the front panel. Use a standard Ethernet patch
cable to connect the VIP-801A to an Ethernet
switch.
Signal Connections
The VIP-801A has signal connectors on the rear
panel:
RCA jack for AUX audio input
2 Audio outputs
2 Form relays
1 Audio input
1 Contact Closure input
AUX Input:
Local audio may be input via the
rear panel RCA jack. Nominal input impedance
is 600 Ohms. Connect any compatible audio
source using an RCA patch cable. Audio
supplied through the rear panel RCA jack is
transformer coupled to both Audio Out terminals
when paging is idle. This is typically used for
background music.
Audio Out:
Two audio output connections are
provided. The terminals labeled “Page” provide a
signal output compatible with Valcom self-amplified
speakers. Up to 40 Valcom speakers can be
connected to the Page output. The terminals
labeled “AUX” provide a signal output compatible
with most amplifiers and should be used where a
transformer-coupled output is desired.
