IP Paging Horn
Installation
Mounting (VIP-LLE)
The VIP-LLE Network Extender is designed for
wall or shelf mounting and must be within 300
feet of the network switch.
Shelf: Provided with the VIP-LLE Network
Extender are four rubber pads. Peel the pads
from the carrier backing and place at the four
corners of the bottom of the unit.
Wall: Using the brackets and wood screws
provided, secure the VIP-LLE Network Extender
to the wall.
Mounting (Horn)
The horn should be mounted 15 to 20 feet
above the floor to allow for best sound
distribution. The unit can be mounted to a wall,
a beam or an electrical box.
NOTE: For ease of installation, the base can be
attached to the speaker before or after the base
is mounted.
Loosen position adjustment knob
Insert the ball of the base into the socket
of the speaker
Tighten the position adjustment knob
Mount the base to a wall using the two
holes provided. Knockout holes are
provided for punch out should additional
holes be desired.
A “C” clamp is provided with the horn to
allow mounting to a beam. Place the
bolt through the hole in the bottom of the
base to secure the “C” clamp to the
beam. It is suggested that the horn be
mounted to the underside of the “I”
beam to provide maximum positioning
adjustments.
The base has pre-drilled holes for a
double-gang square electrical box, but
by drilling out additional knockout holes,
the base can be mounted to a single-
gang or octagon box
The horn may be rotated or moved up and down
to obtain the desired position by loosening the
position adjustment knob at the bottom of the
unit approximately one turn. Make required
adjustments and re-tighten knob.

Interconnections
The only method of powering the VIP-130L-IC IP
Paging Horn 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. Power is
supplied to the horn assembly via the
VIP-LLE Network Extender.
Signal Connections
As shown in Figure 3 and 4, audio output
connections are made on the rear panel of the
VIP-LLE Network Extender. Versions of the
VIP-LLE Network Extender with the color-coded,
8-pin screw connector will connect standard
CAT-5 twisted-pair cable from the rear panel
color coded connector of the VIP-LLE Network
Extender to the supplied VM-186 RJ-45
connector (900 feet maximum distance).
Connect RJ-45 connector of horn to VM-186
RJ-45 socket. For versions of the VIP-LLE
Network Extender with the RJ-45 Audio Output
connector, the horn may be connected directly
to the RJ-45 port. If additional length is
required, any standard T568A or T568B
extension may be used (900 feet maximum).
Network Connection
As shown in Figure 3, the VIP-LLE Network
Extender has one RJ-45 network connector on
the front panel. Use a standard Ethernet patch
cable to connect the NETWORK connector of
the VIP-LLE Network Extender to an 802.3af
compliant PoE port (100m maximum distance).
Setup
The VIP-130L-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.
Status Indicator Lights
The VIP-LLE Network Extender has 3 status
indication lights:
STATUS: Flashes during normal operation, and
solid when unit in reset.
LINK: Indicates 100 Mbit Ethernet connection
when illuminated. No activity indicates 10 Mbit
connection.
Act: Indicator flashes to indicate network
activity
