Signal Connections 

The VIP-802A has 3 signal connectors on the rear 
panel: 

 

  1 RCA jack for AUX audio input 

  2 RJ-45 connectors for signal connections for 

each networked channel 

 

AUX Input

: Local audio may be input via the rear 

panel RCA jack. Nominal input impedance is 600 
Ohms. Connect any compatible audio source using 
an RCA patch cable. Audio supplied through the 
rear panel RCA jack is transformer coupled to 
Audio Out channels when Audio Out is idle. This is 
typically

 

used for background music and can be 

enabled or disabled for each channel.

audio output, audio input, contact closure input and 
relay closure output is provided via two rear panel 
RJ-45 connectors.  Provided with the VIP-802A are 
two RJ-45 patch cables and two VM-186 RJ-45 
Connectors.  Signal connections are made by 
connecting one end of a patch cable to the VIP-
802A, Port 1 or Port 2, and the other end of the 
patch cable to the VM-186 connector.  Access to 

the signals is via screw connections or 110-style
