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-812 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 page port or
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.

Mounting

The VIP-812 is designed for wall, table or rack
mounting.

Table: Provided with the VIP-812 are four rubber
pads. Peel 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-812 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-812 unit.
Using rack screws, mount the VIP-812 in an

Power Connections

The preferred method of powering a VIP-812 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-812 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-812 via
the barrel connector on the rear of the VIP-812.
