Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a
VIP-801A-SA is via a power over Ethernet
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 Power over Ethernet (PoE), make sure
all signal connections via the back panel are
made then connect the VIP-801A-SA 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 into the VIP-801A-SA
via the barrel connector on the rear of the
VIP-801A-SA.

VIP-801A-SA to an Ethernet switch.
Signal Connections
The VIP-801A-SA has signal connectors on the

provided. The terminals labeled “Page” provide
a signal output compatible with Valcom
self-amplified speakers. Up to 40 Valcom
speakers can be connected to the Page output.
The terminals labeled “AUX” provide a signal
output compatible with most amplifiers and
should be used where a transformer-coupled
output is desired.
DIP Switch: The four-pole DIP switch controls
a supervision signal on the “Page” audio output
line. For systems where supervision is used,
setting DIP switches 1 & 2 to ON enables
supervision on the Page audio output
connections. Where supervision is not used, set
DIP switches 1 & 2 to OFF. Switches 3 & 4 are
not used.

terminal block) labeled K1 and K2. The
common contact is the middle terminal with the
normally closed (N.C) contact on the left and the
normally open (N.O.) contact on the right. Relay
contacts are rated for 1A @ 24VDC.
