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-814 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.

rubber pads. Peel the 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

Power Connections

The preferred method of powering a VIP-814 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
rear panel are made then connect the VIP-814
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-814 via
the barrel connector on the rear of the VIP-814.

Network Connection

The VIP-814 has one RJ-45 network connector
on the front panel.

Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect
the VIP-814 to an Ethernet switch. If the
Ethernet switch is 802.3af compliant the VIP-814
will draw power from it.

Signal Connections

On the rear panel, the VIP-814 has 4 RJ-11
jacks for telephone connection and 2 terminal
blocks for relay connections.

FXO Connections: Connect loop start FXO port
or standard analog telephones to the VIP-814
via the rear panel RJ-11 jacks labeled Phone 1,

Relay Connections: Access to the four form C
relays is provided via two six pin screw terminal
blocks. The relays are labeled K1, K2, K3 and
K4. Each relay is brought out on three
terminals. The common contact (COM) is the
middle terminal with the normally closed (N.C.)
contact on the right and the normally open
(N.O.) contact on the left. Relay contacts are
rated for 1A @ 24VDC.
