Installation
This section covers how to install and connect the product. It also provides safety information and other
guidance related to installing the product.
Note
This product is intended for installation and use only in environments where all RS-232 and PoE/PoE+
connections originate within the building.
Or in UL's preferred phrasing...
PoE-type networks connected to this equipment are for intra-building use only and should not
be connected to lines that run outside the building in which this product is located.
Don’t void your warranty!
Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate
protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of
these things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
Cabling notes
Best practices for making cables:
nUse Cat-5e or better cable. We recommend shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled,
run tightly with other cables, or placed close to sources of electromagnetic interference
such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures.
nUse high-quality standard RJ-45 connectors; 568B termination recommended.
nUse a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
When building cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. If
they are crimped incorrectly, they can cause intermittent connections and degrade
signal quality. Incorrectly crimped pass-through connectors can also damage the
connectors on the product, which will void your warranty.
Intact – will make reliable contact
with the cable connector
Damaged – Bent contact fingers
will NOT make reliable contact
with the cable connector
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in
equipment damage and will void the warranty.
Pro tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.

Basic connections
Because the EasyIP PCC and PCC Mini are for different environments, the connections are different.
Connecting the EasyIP PCC controller
The EasyIP PCC connects to the EasyIP Switch that powers the rest of the EasyIP installation. A Vaddio
Device Controller provides access to the web interfaces of all the EasyIP products connected to the
switch.

Connecting the PCC Mini controller
The PCC Mini connects to the network via a PoE+ mid-span power injector. A Vaddio Device Controller
provides access to Vaddio products on the same subnet.
Ensuring compatibility
The controller may be unable to communicate with Vaddio cameras if their firmware is out of date. When
you set up the controller, be sure the associated cameras have been updated to the latest firmware.
Powering up
When you power up the device for the first time, you will need to access the web interface to configure it
for operation.
Next steps
The joystick controller is now ready to configure. Until the product is configured, it is not functional. Refer
to the Complete Manual for the EasyIP PCC and PCC Mini Four-Camera Joystick Controllers.
