How to install Valcom VIP-402A-SA Speaker System - White

• Step 1 — Plan and prepare: Confirm PoE availability on your network and verify SIP credentials for the intended paging or alert system. Ensure your ceiling space can accommodate a 2' x 2' tile footprint and that there is access to a suitable Ethernet path to a PoE switch or injector.
• Step 2 — Power and network readiness: Power off relevant network equipment before wiring. Identify the correct PoE port on your switch and obtain the necessary IP addressing, VLAN, and QoS settings required by your SIP-based paging solution.
• Step 3 — Install the IP Lay-In frame: Remove the existing ceiling tile and secure the VIP-402A-SA’s IP Lay-In mounting frame into the ceiling grid. Confirm the frame sits flush and level to ensure a clean, professional appearance once the tile is reinstalled.
• Step 4 — Connect and configure: Run Ethernet from the PoE source to the VIP-402A-SA. If needed, set static IP or DHCP according to your network design, then configure SIP settings in the device or a central management system to designate the VIP-402A-SA as a paging endpoint or alert speaker.
• Step 5 — Finalize installation and test: Reinstall the ceiling tile, verify the speaker is securely seated, and power on the unit. Perform a test page and a test emergency alert to confirm coverage, intelligibility, and proper audio levels across the intended zones. If coverage is uneven, adjust the speaker angle or relocate to optimize sound dispersion.
