Hotwire 6371 RADSL Router Overview
The Hotwire
®
6371 RADSL (Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line) Router is a
component in the Hotwire DSL Access system, which interoperates with Hotwire 8373,
8374, and 8510 RADSL line cards in the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer) system.
The router operates as an IP router, connecting a DSL link to an Ethernet network to
provide high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access over traditional twisted-pair copper
telephone wiring. Copper pairs run from the central office to the customer premises to
create the local loop. The local loop terminates on the customer premises at the
demarcation point in a punchdown block or network interface device (NID).
