INTRODUCTION

The VIP-A12ADS 12 inch Round Analog and
VIP-A16ADS 16 inch Round Analog Clocks enable
time indication, synchronization, and correction over an
IP-based LAN/WAN. This allows locating a clock
display anywhere on the network. Clock
synchronization can be programmed to sync with any
NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. The enclosure is
made of steel with a durable powder coated finish. The
color of the enclosure can easily be changed to match
any décor. Power is provided to the VIP-A12ADS and
VIP-A16ADS via a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch
meeting the 802.3af specification. Only one network
connection is required, supplying power and data to
both clock displays.

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and if not installed and used in

harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area
may cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at
one’s own expense.

MOUNTING/CONNECTIONS

A minimum of 18” (for the VIP-A12ADS) or 24” (for
the VIP-A16ADS) of network cable must extend from
the mounting location for connection to the RJ45 jack
on the Network Interface inside the clock housing.

A safety restraint cable (not included) is strongly
recommended to be installed in addition to the
mounting bracket attachment to the wall or ceiling.
Insert the cable through the back of the mounting
bracket, through the center support bracket, and out
the large center hole. Securely attach the end of the
safety restraint cable to one of the predrilled holes in
the center support bracket. The other end of the safety
restraint cable should be securely attached to the
building structure.

Remove the shipping screws holding the mounting
bracket to the clock housing. Insert the network cable
through the back of the mounting bracket, then attach
the bracket to a double gang outlet box using the four
inner holes on the mounting bracket. Use the four
outer mounting holes if attaching directly to a wall or
ceiling.

2 947752

Align the clock housing over the mounting bracket
flange and secure the clock housing to the flange with
eight screws provided (four each side). Confirm the
two screws at the opposite end of the center support
bracket are firmly tightened.

The Network Interface unit attaches to the center
support bracket inside the housing. Align the center
cable hole and two screw holes in the Network
Interface mounting plate with the predrilled holes in the
hanging rod and attach using two screws (included).

Feed the network cable from the mounting bracket into
the clock housing. Be careful to not damage the RJ45
connector on the cable.

Connect the network cable to the RJ45 jack on the
Network Interface in the housing.
Attach one 5-pin female Molex connector from the
Network Interface to the clock movement on the back
of the clock, then slide the clock onto the housing and
secure by tightening two screws on the housing.
Repeat this procedure for the other clock face.

Setup

Valcom IP Clocks (beginning with firmware version

3.17.4) are programmed at the factory to acquire an IP
address using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). If DHCP is not available, the clock will revert
to the static IP address of 192.168.6.207 after 3
minutes.

In addition to the IP address, the clock will also try to
acquire all of the information needed to synchronize
time from the DHCP Scope. If the DHCP Scope
Options noted below are correctly configured, the clock
will be able to acquire the correct time without further
programming.

 Option 42, NTP Server IP Address.
 Option 100, POSIX Time Zone, example:

“EST5EDT4,M3.2.0/02:00,M11.1.0/2:00”. This is

the preferred option, and works for any area of the
world.

 Option 101, Time Zone Name, example:

“America/New_York”. This option is only

supported for North America time zones.

Each of these options from the DHCP scope can be
overridden by manually programming the desired value
using the Valcom VIP-102B IP Solutions Setup Tool. If
not using DHCP for IP address assignment, all of the
Time settings will be configured using the Setup Tool.

Setup Tool from the Valcom web site at
