Before You Begin

The Hotwire 5446 RTU (Remote Termination Unit) interoperates with the Hotwire 8546 DSL Card in the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) system.

An optional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) splitter is available for the Hotwire 5446 RTU. When a POTS splitter is installed, the telephone and 5446 RADSL (Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line) RTU can function at the same time over the same pair of copper wires. In order to confirm the RTU installation, the POTS splitter should be installed first.

To install a POTS splitter, refer to the appropriate POTS splitter document:
