INSTALLATION
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 VIP-814B 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 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.

Precautionary Designations
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.
Mounting
The VIP-814B is designed for wall, table or two
units rack mounting together.
Table: Provided with the VIP-814B are four
rubber pads. Peel pads from their carrier backing
and place at the four corners of the bottom of the
unit.
Wall: Using #8 screws (included), attach the wall
mounting brackets to each side of the VIP-814B
as shown in Figure 1. Use the included wood
screws to attach the VIP-814B to the wall. For
surfaces other than wood, use hardware
appropriate for the surface (not provided).
Rack: Two VIP-814B units may be joined
together and installed into a 1U rack slot. Using
Figure 2 as a guide, attach the interlock brackets
and end mounting brackets to each of the
VIP-814B units, then mount the combined units
into an available rack slot.
Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a VIP-814B is
via a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch meeting
the 802.3af specification.
If the rear panel barrel connector is used for
power, the preferred power supply is a Valcom
VIP-324D.
Make all required signal connections before
applying power to the unit. If powering via
802.3af, make sure all signal connections via the
back panel are made then connect the VIP-814B
to the Ethernet switch.
If power is supplied via the barrel connector,
make sure all signal connections are secure.
Attach the unit to the network via the front panel
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Apply power by
plugging the power supply in to the VIP-814B via
the barrel connector on the rear of the VIP-814B.
Network Connection
The VIP-814B has one RJ-45 network connector
on the front panel.
Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect
the VIP-814B to an Ethernet switch. If the
Ethernet switch is 802.3af compliant, the
VIP-814B will draw power from it.
Signal Connections
On the back panel, the VIP-814B has 4 RJ-11
jacks for telephone connection and 2 terminal
blocks for relay connections.
FXO Connections: Connect loop start FXO port
or standard analog telephones to the VIP-814B
via the rear panel RJ-11 jacks labeled Phone 1,
Phone 2, Phone 3 and Phone 4. Tip and Ring
appear on pins 3 and 4 of these jacks.
Relay Connections: Access to the four form C
relays is provided via two six pin screw terminal
blocks. The relays are labeled K1, K2, K3 and
K4. Each relay is brought out on three terminals.
The common contact (COM) is the middle
terminal with the normally closed (N.C.) contact
on the right and the normally open (N.O.) contact
on the left. Relay contacts are rated for 1A @
24VDC.
