FCC Information
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential
area may cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
INSTALLATION
Operation:
The VIP-9890AL-CB-IC provides talkback access
via network connection to customer telephone
system or stand alone telephone set. Interface to
customer telephone system can be via SIP
registration to an InformaCast Server or other
Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone system, FXO port
(when used with a Valcom FXS Network Station
Port), or FXS port (when used with a Valcom
FXO Network Trunk Port). Pressing the call
button on the speaker assembly initiates a call to
a user-specified telephone number, and the call
assurance LED behind the intercom unit face
plate begins to flash. When the call is answered,
a hands-free communications path is established
to the speaker, and the call assurance LED
behind the face plate remains lit. The form C
relay included with the VIP-9890AL-CB-IC may
be activated by pressing the # key on the
answering telephone, with the relay typically
being used to activate door entry equipment.
Mounting
For enhanced protection against static
electrical discharge, it is recommended
the intercom unit shipped with the
VIP-9890AL-CB-IC be installed onto a
grounded electrical box, If surface mounted,
ground box to local ground.
The VIP-9890AL-CB-IC speaker enclosure is
designed for double gang FD electrical box
mounting and must be within 350 feet of the
VIP-9890AL-CB-IC Network Interface.
The VIP-9890AL-CB-IC Network Interface is
designed for wall mounting and must be within
100 meters of the network switch. Using the
screws provided, attach the mounting brackets to
the Network Interface, then secure the Network
Interface to the wall. Remove the speaker
assembly from the packing container. Using a
Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws
securing the front grille to the enclosure. Pre-
drilled 13/64” mounting holes in the back of the
enclosure are designed to fit a single gang,

double gang or octagon outlet box. If not
attaching to an outlet box, use the enclosure as a
template. Hold the enclosure in the desired
position on the wall and mark the location of
mounting holes. Depending on wall construction
type, prepare the mounting hole locations on the
wall to securely attach the enclosure.
Wiring may be inserted through the large hole in
the back of the enclosure, or through the
knockout hole in the top of the enclosure. Insert
wiring for signal connections and relay
connections (if used) through desired hole. Use
mounting hardware (not included) appropriate for
the wall type to securely mount the enclosure to
the wall.
After making signal connections, align the
grille/speaker assembly with the enclosure.
Install the four supplied tamper-resistant screws
through the grille into the enclosure. Use a 1/8”
security hex bit to tighten the screws securely.
Power Connections
The only method of powering a
VIP-9890AL-CB-IC 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-9890AL-CB-IC Network Interface has
one RJ-45 NETWORK connector and one RJ-45
Signal Output connector.
Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect
the NETWORK connector of the
VIP-9890AL-CB-IC Network Interface to an
Ethernet switch.
Signal Connections
Use standard Category 5 UTP cable to connect
the VIP-9890AL-CB-IC Network Interface to the
Intercom unit. Connect the RJ-45 jack (labeled
Signal Output) on the Network Interface to the
RJ-45 jack on the back of the speaker assembly
using a standard Ethernet patch cable. See
Quick Start Installation, Figure A.
For longer distances between the network
interface and the speaker (up to 350’), VM-186
adapters (not included), or other Standard
Category 5 straight-through terminators, may be
used to extend the signal line. Refer to Quick
Start Installation, Figure B.
Door Relay Connections
Access to the form C relay is provided via a three
pin screw terminal block on the
VIP-9890AL-CB-IC speaker. The common
contact is the middle terminal. The Normally
Open contact is on the side labeled NO, the
Normally Closed contact is labeled NC.
For higher security, the included VIP172L-RLY
connection block can be used. Please refer to
the High Security Relay Quick Start Installation
guide for installation details.
Status Indicator Lights
The VIP-9890A-CB-IC Network Interface has 2
status indication lights on the Ethernet connector:
Green LED: (Link) Indicates Ethernet
connection when illuminated.
Yellow LED: (Activity) Indicator flashes to
indicate network activity.
Setup
The VIP-9890AL-CB-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.
