INSTALLA TION

NOTE: The telephone system referred to in this
manual is the customer premise equipment such
as an electronic key system, a PABX or a dedicated
single line telephone(s). The VIP-800 is not in­tended for direct or indirect connection to the
public telephone network or to PABX analog
station ports. When used with a customer premise
telephone system such as a key system or P A B X
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.
