Power Connections
The only method of powering a VIP Network
Interface is via a Power over Ethernet (PoE)
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 Network Interface has one RJ-45
Ethernet network connector and one RJ-45
horn connector.
Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect
the VIP to an Ethernet switch.
Signal Connections
Connect RJ-45 patch cable using EIA/TIA 568A
or 568B Standard to the horn connector of the
VIP Network Interface, then connect to VM-186

White/Brown pair to the horn. If desired, a
normally-open call button may be connected to
the Blue, White/Blue pair of the horn RJ-45
connector. The VM-186 RJ-45 connector
provides easy access these connections.
