FCC Information

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 accordance with the instruction manual, may cause 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 his own expense.

INSTALLATION

Operation:

The VIP-172L provides door intercom access via network connection to customer telephone system or stand alone telephone set. Interface to customer telephone system can be via SIP registration to a voice over IP (VoIP) telephone system, or FXO port (when used with a VIP-811).

Pressing the call button on the door plate initiates a call to a user-specified telephone number and the call assurance LED on the door plate begins to flash. When the call is answered, a hands-free communications path is established to the door plate, and the call assurance LED on the door plate remains lit. The form C relay included with the VIP-172L may be activated by pressing the # key on the answering telephone, with the relay typically being used to activate door entry equipment.

Mounting

For enhanced protection against static electrical discharge, it is recommended the faceplate shipped with the VIP-172L be installed into a grounded electrical box.

The VIP-172L Doorplate is designed for double gang FD electrical box mounting and must be within 300 meters of the VIP-172L Network

Interface. See NEMA OS 3-2002 sec.1.2.3.5 for

FD box specifications.

The VIP-172L Network Interface is designed for wall mounting and must be within 100 meters of the network switch. Using the wood screws provided, secure the VIP-172L Network Interface to the wall.

Power Connections

The only method of powering a VIP-172L

Network Interface is via a Power over Ethernet 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.

Network Connection

The VIP-172L Network Interface has one CAT-5

RJ-45 NETWORK connector and one RJ-45

DOOR PLATE connector on the front panel.

Use the supplied CAT-5 patch cable to connect the NETWORK connector of the VIP-172L

Network Interface to an Ethernet switch.

Signal Connections

Connect RJ-45 using EIA/TIA 568B Standard to the DOOR PLATE connector of the VIP-172L

Network Interface then to the RJ-45 connector of the VIP-172L Door Plate.

Door Relay Connections

Access to the form C relay is provided via a three pin screw terminal block on the VIP-172L Door

Plate. The common contact is the middle terminal. The normally open contact is on the side closest to the RJ-45 connector, the normally closed contact is on the side furthest from the RJ-45 connector. (Please refer to

Figure 1). For higher security, the included

VIP172L-RLY connection block can be used.

Please refer to the Quick Start Installation Guide packaged with the VIP172-RLY for installation details.

Aux Input

Aux input on the VIP-172L Network Interface accepts line level audio such as background music and broadcasts it through the door plate speaker. When the call button is pressed, the aux input is muted and remains muted until the call is terminated.

Status Indicator Lights

The VIP-172L Door plate is equipped with a status indicator LED. LED flashes when the call button is pressed and steady when the call is connected.

The VIP-172L Network Interface has 3 status indication lights on the side panel:

STATUS: Flashes during normal operation, and solid during system startup.

LINK: Indicates 100 Mbit Ethernet connection when illuminated. A non-illuminated LINK LED indicates a 10 Mbit connection or no connection.

ACT: Indicator flashes to indicate network activity.

SETUP

Information specific to your application will need to be programmed into the VIP-172L using a computer. The PC used for programming should be connected to the same subnet as the

VIP-172L. Setup will be done using the IP

Solution Setup Tool. The IP Solution Setup Tool is included on the CD ROM enclosed with the

VIP-172L.
