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-824 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.

Table: Provided with the VIP-824 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-824 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-824 unit. Using
rack screws, mount the VIP-824 in an available 1U
rack slot. See Figure 1.

Power Connections

The preferred method of powering a VIP-824 is via
a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch meeting the

802.3af specification. The Valcom VIP-908
Ethernet switch is ideal for this purpose and will
power up to seven (7) PoE devices.

If the rear panel barrel connector is used for power,
the preferred power supply is a Valcom VIP-324.

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-824 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-824 via the barrel
connector on the rear of the VIP-824.

Network Connection

The VIP-824 has one RJ-45 network connector on
the front panel.
Use a standard patch cable to connect the VIP-824
to an Ethernet switch. If the Ethernet switch is

802.3af compliant, the VIP-824 will draw power
from it.
