Setup
The VIP-851-25-IC and VIP-851-70/100-IC will
automatically acquire an IP address (using DHCP)
and connect to the InformaCast server when
connected to the network and powered up.
Information specific to your application will need to
be programmed into the InformaCast server. Refer
to the InformaCast documentation for further
Information.
Supervision
The VIP-851-25-IC can provide wiring supervision
capability of both the 25V and LINE outputs. The
VIP-851-70/100-IC can provide this capability only
on the LINE output. Supervision must be enabled in
programming. For supervision, the speakers
and/or devices connected to these outputs must be
supervisory compatible and there must be an end of
line resistance of 4700 ohms. Two 4700 ohm
resistors are included with the unit for convenience.
The unit will monitor the output pair(s) for opens or
shorts if so optioned. Wire monitoring is temporarily
disabled on the 25V output while it is active. The
output relay can also be programmed for
supervision to provide additional notification of
faults. If programmed for supervision, the relay will
energize during power up (NO will short to COM
and NC will open to COM) and will de-energize (NC
will short to COM and NO will open to COM) if the
unit has lost power, the PoE+ FAULT LED is lit or if
the SUPERVISION FAULT LED is lit solid or
blinking. Syslog messages are also generated by
the VIP-851 indicating system supervision activity.
Additional equipment may be required. Contact
Valcom Technical Support for more information.
Status Indicator Lights
The VIP-851 has status indication lights on the front
panel:
STATUS:
Flashes during normal operation and
solid during system startup.
PoE+ FAULT:
Indicates the lack of correct PoE+
connectivity or an incorrect configuration of the
power available at the network port.
SUPERVISION FAULT:
Indicates a connectivity
problem on either the LINE (VIP-851-25-IC and
VIP-851-70/100-IC) or 25V connections (VIP-851-
25-IC only). The activity for this LED is configured
using the IP Solutions Setup Tool. The Supervision
LED can be configured for “Ignore”, “Track” or
“Historical” for monitoring both or either the 25V
output (Speaker Faults) and the Line output:
LED OFF
–
No problem with any output (or
programmed for “Ignore”).
LED ON SOLID
–
Existing problem with one or both
of the monitored outputs (in either “Track” or
“Historical” modes).
LED BLINKING
- (only blinks if monitoring is set for
“Historical”) – indicates an intermittent problem on
one or both of the outputs that has been resolved.
Note: If the LED is blinking, the monitoring for
“Historical” is reset by software (via VIP-102B
tool), power down reset of the VIP-851 or with
the “factory restore” front panel button.
Green LED:
(Link) Indicates Ethernet connection
when illuminated.
Yellow LED:
(Activity) Indicator flashes to indicate
network activity.
