Valcom VIP-201

The PagePro IP Model VIP-201 is a SIP based paging server designed for use with virtually all IP based telephone systems. The unit provides 8 zones, groups thereof and all call paging. This PagePro IP unit can drive up to 65,000 IP speakers or 65,000 analog speakers or provide the audio source for legacy paging systems. It can simultaneously drive any combination of these paging applications. The VIP-201 can form the foundation of most paging projects. The 8 zones can be accessed individually or in flexible groups.

Valcom PagePro IP VIP-201 allows paging from any SIP compliant telephone to 8 SIP page destinations. The SIP page destinations can be the VIP-201's analog output, or any combination of page groups from other Valcom VIP units. The analog output on the VIP-201 is line level –10dBm audio. This output is designed to directly drive up to 150 Valcom self-amplified speakers. The output is also suitable for connection to an auxiliary input on a utility amplifier of a legacy paging system.

• Group Paging Features
  The PagePro IP Model VIP-201 allows SIP based phone systems to page any number of Valcom IP speakers, Valcom Amplified Speakers and Valcom VIP series analog paging gateways. Valcom multicast group paging features robust grouping and priority controls. These controls make it easy to distribute low priority announcements yet allow high priority paging to override ongoing announcements. The PagePro IP Model VIP-201 provides 8 IP zones and 1 analog output capable of driving a mix of Valcom self amplified overhead paging speakers and horns. You can assign one SIP access phone number for the analog port. The VIP-201 provides 8 fully customizable SIP identities that can access any combination of IP zones and the analog port. Analog paging functions can be seamlessly combined IP paging functions allowing powerful combinations of analog and IP paging.
  
• Group Paging Priority Feature
  Any page group or port can be assigned a priority. These priorities allow a logical scaled approach to group paging. An absolute priority can be assigned to allow for emergency override in any circumstance. Group paging priorities work locally or across ganged units in the same fashion allowing facility wide emergency paging. Red Phone functionality is easily achieved with either IP phone or analog handsets via a Valcom gateway.
  
• Feedback Elimination Feature
  The PagePro IP Model VIP-201 provides programmable store and forward capability for all paging accesses. This features records up to 30 seconds of audio, and then replays the audio when the page call is terminated. The number of times the recorded audio is played back can be set from 1 to 5. Some paging applications require live announcements. For these applications the store and forward capability can be turned on/off per page zone.
  
• Wiring Supervision Features
  The PagePro IP Model VIP-201 provides for supervision of field wiring. If a fault is detected in the wiring connecting the analog output to either speakers or amplifiers it can be reported to an external device or syslog facility.
  
• Audio Supervision Features
  The PagePro IP Model VIP-201 provides internal monitoring of the audio path from the network connection to the analog output connector and can report failures to an external device or syslog facility.
  
• Legacy Applications
  The PagePro IP Model VIP-201 provides 1 analog output that can easily be conditioned to drive any existing overhead paging system. Legacy paging features can be seamlessly combined allowing powerful combinations of legacy analog and IP paging.
