Connecting to the DTE
Connection to the eight DTE ports of the Hotwire 87xx TDM SDSL Termination
Unit is through the 50-pin interface connector on its faceplate. Refer to
Connector
Pin Assignments
in the User’s Guide.
Procedure
To connect the Hotwire 87xx TDM SDSL Termination Unit to your DTE:
1. Insert and fasten the hex-head jackscrew included with the unit into the top nut
(the nut nearest the LEDs) on the 50-position connector on the faceplate.
2. Connect the 50-position connector of the cable to the connector on the
faceplate. Align one end of the cable connector with the card connector, then
push on the cable connector until it seats.
3. Fasten the captive screw in the top of the cable connector to the hex-head
jackscrew.
4. Secure the bottom of the cable connector to the unit using a cable tie.
5. Feed the cable through the Cable Guide if it is installed. When all cables are
installed, anchor them with cable ties to the rack, DSLAM, or Cable Guide.
6. Connect the terminating connectors to your DTE.
Connecting to an MDF
You can connect the Hotwire DSLAM chassis containing the Hotwire 87xx TDM
SDSL Termination Unit to an MDF or other demarcation point. Do not connect it to
a POTS splitter.
Procedure
To connect the Hotwire chassis containing the unit to an MDF:
1. Plug the Telco 50-pin cable into the appropriate line
port on the chassis:
— For a
Hotwire 8610/8620 DSLAM chassis
– Line connectors are
numbered 1–3 on the back of the chassis. After installing the connector,
insert a cable tie through the tie mount to hold the cable in place.
— For a
Hotwire 8810/8820 DSLAM chassis
–
Line connectors are
numbered 1–18 on the back of the chassis.
2. Make sure the other end of the cable is connected to the appropriate MDF or
demarcation point.
Refer to
Connector Pin Assignments
in the User’s Guide for pinouts.
NOTE:
If 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.
