Installing Network Tip and Ring Connections
Procedure
To connect a port card in the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis to a POTS splitter
shelf or MDF:
1. Replace the longer #4-40 screw on the cable connector with the #4-40 Phillips
pan-head screw shipped in a plastic bag with the unit. Do not insert the screw
past the connector body until
Step 4 .
2. Plug the Telco 50-pin cable into the appropriate connector for the slot
containing the card (labeled 1, 2, or 3) on the rear of the 8610 chassis.
3. Thread the cable tie through the lance stamp in the panel on the side of the
connector where the cable will lie. Tighten the cable tie around the connector
and cut off any excess.
4. Secure the Telco 50-pin cable by tightening the Phillips pan-head screw (that
you replaced in Step 1 ) on either the left or right side of the connector,
depending on the cable location.
5. Make sure the other end of the cable is connected to the appropriate POTS
splitter shelf, MDF, or demarcation point.
