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.
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

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’) or similar
verbiage.
INSTALLATION
Mounting
Wall: Using #8 screws (included), attach the wall
mounting brackets to each side of the VIP-812B
as shown in Figure 2. Use the included wood
screws to attach the VIP-812B to the wall. For

Rack: Two VIP-812B units may be joined
together and installed into a 1U rack slot. Using
Figure 3 as a guide, attach the interlock brackets
and end mounting brackets to each of the
VIP-812B units, then mount the combined units
into an available rack slot.
Table: Provided with the VIP-812B are four
rubber pads. Peel pads from their carrier backing
and place at the four corners of the bottom of the
unit.
Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a VIP-812B is
via a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch meeting
the 802.3af specification.
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-812B
to the Ethernet switch.
If the rear panel barrel connector is used for
power, the preferred power supply is a Valcom
VIP-324D. 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-
812B via the barrel connector on the rear of the
VIP-812B.
Network Connection
The VIP-812B has one RJ-45 network connector
on the front panel.
Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect
the VIP-812B to an Ethernet switch. If the
Ethernet switch is 802.3af compliant, the
VIP-812B will draw power from it.
Signal Connections
On the back panel, the VIP-812B has 2 RJ-11
jacks for telephone connection and 2 terminal
blocks for relay connections. (See Figure 1)
FXO Connections: Connect loop start FXO port
or standard analog telephones to the VIP-812B
via the rear panel RJ-11 jacks labeled Phone 1,
Phone 2. Tip and Ring appear on pins 3 and 4 of
these jacks.
Relay Connections: Access to the 4 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 @
4VDC.
Figure 1. Rear View
Status Indicator Lights
The VIP-812B 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.
Setup
Information specific to your application will need
to be programmed into the VIP-812B using a
computer. The PC used for programming should
be connected to the same subnet as the
VIP-812B.
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.
