Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a VIP-848 is via a power over Ethernet switch meeting the 802.3af specification.
If the rear panel barrel connector is used for power, the preferred power supply is a Valcom VIP-324.
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-848 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-848 via the barrel connector on the rear of the VIP-848.

Network Connection
The VIP-848 has one CAT-5 RJ-45 network connector on the front panel.
Use the supplied CAT-5 patch cable to connect the VIP-848 to an Ethernet switch. If the Ethernet switch is 802.3af compliant the VIP-848 will draw power from it.

Signal Connections
The VIP-848 has 16 signal connectors on the rear panel:
8 Contact Closure Inputs
8 Relay Contacts that are programmable as Form A or Form B

Status Indicator Lights:
The VIP-848 has 3 status indication lights on the front panel:
