What is a 8540 DSL Card?
A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) 8540 card is a circuit card assembly (CCA) that
contains four Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL) ports, an Ethernet
interface to the Internet Service Provider (ISP), and a processor. The processor
controls the RADSL ports and forwards the packet traffic to and from the Ethernet
and DSL interfaces. When the 8540 DSL card is used in a HotWire 8600 or 8800
DSL Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) chassis and connected to HotWire 5100/5200
series Remote Termination Units (RTU), it provides high-speed Internet or
Intranet access over traditional twisted-pair telephone wiring.
