SIP PAGING SERVER

Technical Specification

Group Paging Features

The PagePro IP Model VIP-204 allows SIP based phone systems to page any number of Valcom IP speakers,
Valcom Amplified Speakers and Valcom VIP series analog paging gateways. Valcom multicast group paging
features robust grouping and priority controls. These controls make it easy to distribute low priority
announcements yet allow high priority paging to override ongoing announcements.

The PagePro IP Model VIP-204 provides up to 100 IP zones and 4 analog outputs capable of driving a mix of
Valcom self-amplified overhead paging speakers and horns. These outputs can be grouped together to be
accessed at one time for zone paging applications. The VIP-204 provides fully customizable SIP identities that
can access any combination of the IP zones or analog ports. Analog group paging functions can be seamlessly
combined with IP paging functions allowing powerful combinations of analog and IP paging.

Group Paging Priority Feature

Any page group or port can be assigned a priority. These priorities allow a logical scaled approa ch to group
paging. An absolute priority can be assigned to allow for emergency override in any circumstance. Group
paging priorities work locally or across ganged units in the same fashion allowing facility wide emergency
paging. Red Phone functionality is easily achieved with either IP phone or analog handsets via a Valcom
gateway.

MODEL VIP-204

SIP PBX Connection Options

The PagePro IP Model VIP-204 supports either Station Mode or Trunk Mode.

In Station Mode, up to 8 individual SIP identities (extensions) may be assigned to the VIP-204. Each identity
can register as an extension to a SIP PBX, and each identity can be registered to different SIP PBXes. In Trunk
Mode, the VIP-204 can be programmed as an outbound trunk from a SIP PBX and can recognize up to 100
extension numbers. The extensions are not required to be consecutively numbered.

Feedback Elimination Feature

Any page group or port can be assigned a priority. These priorities allow a logical scaled approa ch to group
paging. An absolute priority can be assigned to allow for emergency override in any circumstance. Group
paging priorities work locally or across grouped units in the same fashion allowing facility wide emergency
paging. Red Phone functionality is easily achieved with either IP phone or analog handsets via a Valcom
gateway.

Night Ring Features

The PagePro IP Model VIP-204 provides Night Ring functionality on any of the SIP identities. This feature
generates a tone to any paging groups when the SIP identity is called

.

Audio Supervision Features

The PagePro IP Model VIP-204 provides internal monitoring of the audio path from the network connection to
the analog output connectors and can report failures to an external device or syslog facility

.

Legacy Applications

The PagePro IP Model VIP-204 provides 4 analog outputs that can easily be conditioned to drive any existing
overhead paging system. Legacy paging features can be seamlessly combined a llowing powerful combinations

of legacy analog and IP paging
