INSTALLATION

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-802A is designed for wall, table or rack

mounting.

Table: Provided with the VIP-802A are four rubber

pads. Peel the pads from their carrier backing and

place at the four corners of the bottom of the unit.

Wall: Using the template on last page of this

document, mark the location of the bracket screw

holes on the wall. Drill 5/64" pilot holes, 3/4" deep,

at each screw location and use the wood screws

provided to attach the brackets to the wall. For

surfaces other than wood, use hardware

appropriate for the surface (not included). With the

brackets securely attached to the wall, attach the

VIP-802A to the brackets using the included

hardware. Figure 2 illustrates the bracket

assembly.

Rack: Following the assembly drawing, attach the

two mounting brackets to the VIP-802A unit. Using

rack screws, mount the VIP-802A in an available

1U rack slot. See Figure 1.

Power Connections

The preferred method of powering a VIP-802A 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-802A 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 connecting

the power supply into the VIP-802A via the barrel

connector on the rear of the VIP-802A.

Network Connection

The VIP-802A has one RJ-45 network connector

on the front panel.

Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect

the VIP-802A to an Ethernet switch.

Status Indicator Lights

The VIP-802A has 3 status indication lights on the

front panel:

STATUS: Illuminates at regular intervals during

normal operation. On steady indicates unit is in

reset mode.

The network jack provides two LED indicators:

Green LED: (Link) Indicates Ethernet connection

when illuminated.

Yellow LED: (Activity) Indicator flashes to indicate

network activity.

Signal Connections

The VIP-802A has 3 signal connectors on the rear

panel:

1 RCA jack for AUX audio input

2 RJ-45 connectors for signal connections for

each networked channel

AUX Input: Local audio may be input via the rear

panel RCA jack. Nominal input impedance is 600

Ohms. Connect any compatible audio source using

an RCA patch cable. Audio supplied through the

rear panel RCA jack is transformer coupled to

Audio Out channels when Audio Out is idle. This is

typically used for background music and can be

enabled or disabled for each channel.

Rear View

Networked Channels: Access to the networked

audio output, audio input, contact closure input and

relay closure output is provided via two rear panel

RJ-45 connectors. Provided with the VIP-802A are

two RJ-45 patch cables and two VM-186 RJ-45

Connectors. Signal connections are made by

connecting one end of a patch cable to the VIP-

802A, Port 1 or Port 2, and the other end of the

patch cable to the VM-186 connector. Access to

the signals is via screw connections or 110-style

punch down block connection on the VM-186 (see

Figure 3). Signals are present on pairs of pins, as

shown in the following chart:

Setup

Information specific to your application will need to

be programmed into the VIP-802A using a

computer. The PC used for programming should

be connected to the same subnet as the VIP-802A.

Setup will be done using the IP Solutions Setup

Tool. Download the latest version of the free IP

Solutions Setup Tool from Valcom web site at

www.valcom.com/vipsetuptool.
