Connecting to an MDF or ADSL POTS Splitter
You can connect the ATM Line Card to an MDF or other demarcation point. Do not
connect the Model 8335 or 8385 to a POTS splitter. Refer to the 8620 or 8820 BLC
Installation Guide for more information.
Refer to
Connector Pin Assignments
in the
Hotwire ATM Line Cards, Models 8335,
8355, 8365, 8375, and 8385, User’s Guide
for pinouts of the BLC ports.
Procedure
To connect the chassis containing the unit to an MDF:
1. Determine the slot number the ATM Line Card was installed in.
2. Plug the Telco 50-pin cable into the appropriate numbered port on the back of
the BLC.
3. If a ferrite and cable tie are included in the package with your ATM line card,
attach the ferrite to the Telco cable, then secure it with the cable tie.
4. Dress the cable to the side the connector is nearest.
5.
For
the Model 8335, 8355, 8365, 8375, or 8385 with no POTS service:
— Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate MDF or demarcation
point.
For the Model 8355, 8365, or 8375 using an ADSL POTS splitter:
— Attach the other end of the cable to the XDSL interface of the Corning
Cable Systems (formerly Siecor) ADSL POTS Splitter Rack-Mount Shelf
or the Hotwire 6050 Central Office Universal POTS Splitter. Refer to the
document that came with the POTS splitter for the additional connections.
NOTE:
If you are connecting the Telco 25-pair, 50-pin cable to an MDF, a converter
may be necessary for terminating the other end of the cable on a punchdown
block before cross-connecting to an MDF.
