Installing and Connecting the Hardware

Connecting to a POTS Splitter or an MDF

You can connect the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis to a POTS splitter shelf or to a Main Distributing Frame (MDF).

NOTE:

If you are connecting the HotWire 8600 DSLAM to a CO POTS splitter, this procedure assumes that the CO POTS splitter shelf is already installed. For information on how to install the CO POTS splitter, refer to the HotWire POTS Splitter Central Office Installation Instructions.

"Procedure

To connect the 8600 chassis to a POTS splitter shelf or MDF:

1.Plug the Telco 50-pin cable into the LINE connector on the front panel of the 8600 chassis.

2.Remove the captive screw on the connector and replace with one of the three captive screws shipped with the unit. Secure the Telco 50-pin cable by fastening the captive screw on the left.

3.Tighten the cable tie on the right and cut off any excess cable tie.

4.Make sure the other end is connected to the appropriate POTS splitter shelf, MDF, or demarcation point.

Refer to Appendix B, Pinouts, for pin assignments.
