The DSL platform houses a Management Communications Controller (MCC) card and up to 18 DSL cards (for example, 8540 RADSL cards, 8546 RADSL cards, or a combination of cards). The DSL chassis interoperates with multiple types of Hotwire Remote Termination Units (RTU) to deliver applications at multimegabit speed in support of packet services over a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) link.

The 8540 RADSL card interoperates with the following Hotwire RTUs:

H5216

H5246

The 8546 RADSL card interoperates with the following Hotwire RTU:

H5446
