Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Do not remove cover.

No user serviceable parts inside.

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.

Mounting (VIP-LLE)

The VIP-LLE Network Extender is designed for wall
or shelf mounting and must be within 300 feet of the
network switch.

Shelf: Provided with the VIP-LLE Network Extender
are four rubber stick on pads. Peel pads off their
carrier backing and place at the four corners of the
bottom of the unit.

Wall: Using the brackets and wood screws
provided, secure the VIP-LLE Network Extender
to the wall.

Mounting (horn)

FLUSH MOUNT

The cardboard packing material in which the horn is
shipped also serves as the template for flush
mounting. Using the template, draw the speaker
outline on the wall to be cut. Make appropriate
wiring connections and test the speaker for

operation. Using appropriate mounting screws
(not furnished) drill and mount the flange as
shown.

UNIVERSAL BRACKET

Loosen or separate the universal bracket leaves
by loosening or removing the handle and
hardware. Using the back leaf as a template,
mark the wall through the mounting holes. Drill
and mount to the wall using appropriate screws
(not furnished) or mount directly to a junction box.
Mount the T-bracket to the back of the horn as
shown using the (2) ½ inch screws provided.

“C” CLAMP FOR “I” BEAM MOUNTING

A “C” clamp is provided with the horn to allow
mounting to a beam. Attach the “C” clamp to the
back of the horn as shown using the (2) ½ inch
screws provided. Place the bolt through the hole
in the bottom of the base to secure the “C” clamp
to the beam. It is suggested that the horn be
mounted to the underside of the “I” beam to
provide maximum positioning adjustments.

Interconnections

The only method of powering a VIP-480L IP
Paging Horn is via a Power over Ethernet (PoE)
switch or power injector meeting the 802.3af
specification.

Make all required signal connections before
connecting to Ethernet switch or power injector
meeting the 802.3af specification. Power is
supplied to the horn assembly via the
VIP-LLE Network Extender.

Network Connection

As shown in Figure 1, the LLE Network Extender
has one RJ-45 network connector on the front
panel. Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to
connect the NETWORK connector of the LLE
Network Extender to a 802.3af compliant PoE port
(300 feet maximum distance).

Signal Connections

As shown in Figure 1 and 2, audio output
connections are made on the rear panel of the
LLE Network Extender. Versions of the LLE
Network Extender with the color-coded, 8-pin
screw connector will connect standard CAT-5
twisted-pair cable from the rear panel color coded
connector of the LLE Network Extender to the
supplied VM-186 RJ-45 connector (900 feet
maximum distance). Connect RJ-45 connector
of horn to VM-186 RJ-45 socket.

2

For versions of the LLE Network Extender with the
RJ-45 Audio Output connector, the horn may be
connected directly to the RJ-45 port. If additional
length is required, any standard T568A or T568B
extension may be used (900 feet maximum).

Setup

Information specific to your application will need to
be programmed into the VIP-480L using a
computer. The PC used for programming should be
connected to the same subnet as the VIP-480L.
Setup will be done using the IP Solutions Setup
Tool. The IP Solutions Setup Tool may be
downloaded from the Valcom website at
www.valcom.com.

Status Indicator Lights

The VIP-LLE Network Extender has 3 status
indication lights:

STATUS: Flashes during normal operation, and
solid when unit in reset.

LINK: Indicates 100 Mbit Ethernet connection when
illuminated. No activity indicates 10 Mbit
connection.

ACT: Indicator flashes to indicate network activity.

Operation:

Provides paging from SIP connection or from
another Valcom VIP unit. Interface to customer
telephone system can be via SIP registration,
FXO port (with VIP-811), or FXS port (with
VIP-821).
