mounting brackets to each of the VIP-804B units,
then mount the combined units into an available
rack slot.
Table
: Provided with the VIP-804B are four rubber
pads. Peel the pads from their carrier backing and
place at the four corners of the bottom of the unit.
Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a VIP-804B 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 PoE,
make sure all signal connections via the back
panel are made then connect the VIP-804B 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 connecting
the power supply into the VIP-804B via the barrel
connector on the rear of the VIP-804B.
Network Connection
The VIP-804B has one RJ-45 Ethernet network
connector on the front panel.
Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect
the VIP-804B to an Ethernet switch.
Status Indicator Lights
The VIP-804B has 3 status indication lights on the
front panel:
STATUS:
Illuminates at regular intervals during
normal operation. On steady indicates unit is in
reset mode.
The network jack provides two LED indicators:
Green LED:
(Link) Indicates Ethernet connection
when illuminated.
Yellow LED:
(Activity) Indicator flashes to indicate
network activity.
Signal Connections
The VIP-804B has five signal connectors on the
rear panel:
1 RCA jack for AUX audio input
4 RJ-45 connectors for signal connections for
each networked channel
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 all
Audio Out channels when Audio Out is idle. This is
typically
used for background music and can be
enabled or disabled for each channel.
Rear View
Networked Channels
: Access to the networked
audio output, audio input, contact closure input and
relay closure output is provided via four rear panel
RJ-45 connectors. Provided with the VIP-804B are
four RJ-45 patch cables and four VM-186 RJ-45
Connectors. Signal connections are made by
connecting one end of a patch cable to the
VIP-804B, Port 1, 2, 3, 4, and the other end of the
patch cable to the VM-186 connector. Access to
the signals is via screw connections or 110-style
punch down block connection on the VM-186 (see
Figure 1). Signals are present on pairs of pins, as
shown in the following chart:

Setup
Information specific to your application will need to
be programmed into the VIP-804B using a
computer. The PC used for programming should
be connected to the same subnet as the VIP-804B.
Setup will be done using the IP Solutions Setup
Tool. Download the latest version of the free IP
Solutions Setup Tool from the Valcom web site at
