RADSL Card Configuration

3

Overview

This chapter describes configuration options on the 8540/8546 RADSL cards. Use these options to customize your applications. For information on customizing the MCC card, see the Hotwire Management Communications Controller (MCC) Card User’s Guide.

NOTE:

Certain parameters such as speeds are dependent on the settings on the RTU Configuration screen. Go to Configuration → RTU Config → Selection (A-H-A) and select your RTU type for each port before any additional configuration activities.

Port Naming Conventions

The following are the naming conventions used for the Hotwire DSL interfaces:

NOTE:

Interfaces are sometimes referred to as ports. The term ports, however, usually is reserved for referring to the physical layer attributes of an interface.

He1a – Interface name of the DSLAM system 10BaseT interface on the MCC and DSL cards.

Hs1b – Interface name of the MCC and DSL card’s interface to the DSL system backplane bus.

Hs1c, s1d, s1e, and s1f – Interface names of the four DSL ports on a RADSL card.

NOTE:

These names are used throughout the remainder of this guide to reference the Hotwire DSL interfaces. These are also the names used in the Hotwire DSL software when configuring the Hotwire DSL system.
