Hotwire 8775 and 8785 Termination Unit Features
A 4-port Hotwire 8775 or 8785 TDM SDSL Termination Unit is a circuit board
mounted in a Hotwire 8600 or 8800 Series Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer (DSLAM). It is used to transport signals at high speeds over a
twisted-pair connection.
Hotwire 8775 and 8785 Termination Units offer these standard features:
AutoRate Capability. Provides automatic configuration of line speed and data
rate upon connection.
Embedded Operations Channel (EOC). Provides remote management via
SNMP or Telnet session capability over the TDM SDSL network.
Asynchronous Terminal Interface (ATI). Provides a menu-driven
VT100-compatible terminal interface for configuring and managing the unit
locally or remotely by Telnet session.
Local Management. Provides local management using the DSLAM's
management card with a:
— Terminal or PC via the Management Serial port of the DSLAM.
— Network Management System (NMS) via the Management MCC port of
the 8600 Series DSLAM or 10BaseT port of the 8800 Series DSLAM.
Remote Management. Provides remote management:
— Out-of-band, using an external modem through the Management Serial
port of the DSLAM.
— Using SNMP or Telnet through the 10BaseT port or the Internal
Management Channel (IMC).
— Via Telnet over the EOC.
Alarm Indication. Activates front panel LEDs.
Diagnostics. Provides the capability to diagnose device and network
problems and perform tests, including digital loopbacks, pattern tests, and
self-test.
Device and Test Monitoring. Provides the capability of tracking and
evaluating the unit's operation, including health and status, and error-rate
monitoring.
