1. Overview
The VBIP Module can be used to connect any control panel, with telephone communicator, supporting Contact ID
format, to the local network (LAN) or internet (WAN), and report the control panel events to the monitoring station via
the IP network.
2. Installation
The installation of the VBIP Module requires basic
knowledge of the Ethernet network and the IP
protocols. If you do not familiar with these topics,
please, consult with an IT professional, or system
administrator before attempting the installation.
The VBIP Module should be installed next to the control
panel. Power can be supplied to the module from the
AUX power terminals of the control panel. The module
telco interface can be connected directly to the
TIP/RING terminals of the control panel telephone
communicator. For the connection to the ethernet
network there is an RJ45 modular jack on the module.
Use a Cat 5, or better, UTP patch cable for the
connection to the router.
The installation process
Before installation, the VBIP Module has to be properly
programmed. (see. Section 3. Programming).
• Choose a proper position for the module in the box
of the control panel. If connecting directly to the
TIP/RING terminals, take care for arranging the
cables to avoid mechanical stress to the module
• Connect the power cable (2.54mm pitch connector)
to the AUX power terminals of the control panel and
check for correct polarity. Then the power cable can
be plugged on to the module. A few seconds after
powering up the module will start and the Status
LEDs will blink.

• Connect the UTP cable to the module jack – then
the VBIP Module will try to connect to the network
according to its settings. The network status can be
followed on the LEDs

If programmed properly, the module is now ready for
operation and it sends its reset and test message to the
monitoring station.
3. Programming
The parameters of the VBIP Module have to be
programmed properly for problem free operation. For
the programming, the EniTerm software can be used
with the VBIP USB programming adapter. The EniTerm
software can be downloaded from www.villbau.com
free.
ATTENTION!!! During programming the module is
powered from the PC USB port (5 VDC).
NEVER CONNECT THE USB PROGRAMMING
ADAPTER AND THE POWER CONNECTOR AT THE
SAME TIME! DOING THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE MODULE AND/OR TO THE PC.
