VE8024A/VE8024AR
QUAD ENHANCED NETWORKED TRUNK PORT
INTRODUCTION
The VE8024A/VE8024AR Quad Enhanced
Networked Trunk Port allows most loop start
station ports to be connected to a managed
IP-based LAN/WAN. SIP connectivity allows the
VE8024A/VE8024AR to act as a gateway device
between a SIP telephone system and the loop start
Valcom paging systems.
The VE8024A is designed for wall or table
placement. The VE8024AR is designed for 19”
rack mounting (1U).

Do not remove cover (or back).
No user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within this unit.
This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature accompanying
this unit.
NOTE: The telephone system referred to in this
manual is the customer premise equipment
such as an electronic key system, a PBX or a
dedicated single line telephone sets. The
VE8024A/VE8024AR is not intended for direct
or indirect connection to the public telephone
network. When used with a customer premise
telephone system such as a key system or PBX
system, these units are interfaced to the
system via a fully protected page port or
system central office port, which is a fully
protected interface device.
Also, the host system must be configured to
disallow central office trunk conferencing in
order to prevent indirect connection to the
public network.
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.
General Mounting Information
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a
rack should be such that the amount of air flow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given
to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
F) Equipment only suitable for mounting at heights less
than or equal to 2m (6.56’).
