Connecting to a POTS Splitter or an MDF
You can connect the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis to a POTS splitter shelf or to
a Main Distributing Frame (MDF).
NOTE:
If you are connecting the HotWire 8600 DSLAM to a CO POTS splitter, this
procedure assumes that the CO POTS splitter shelf is already installed. For
information on how to install the CO POTS splitter, refer to the
HotWire POTS
Splitter Central Office Installation Instructions.
Procedure
To connect the 8600 chassis to a POTS splitter shelf or MDF:
1. Plug the Telco 50-pin cable into the LINE connector on the front panel of the
8600 chassis.
2. Remove the captive screw on the connector and replace with one of the three
captive screws shipped with the unit. Secure the Telco 50-pin cable by
fastening the captive screw on the left.
3. Tighten the cable tie on the right and cut off any excess cable tie.
4. Make sure the other end is connected to the appropriate POTS splitter shelf,
MDF, or demarcation point.
