Procedure
To connect the Hotwire 8799 TDM SHDSL Line Card to your DTE:

Installing the Ferrite Chokes
Two ferrite chokes (supplied) must be installed on the DTE cable to ensure
compliance with EN 55022.
Procedure
To install the ferrite chokes on the DTE cable:
1. Open a ferrite choke and place it around the cable as close to the Hotwire
8799 TDM SHDSL Line Card as possible.
2. Close the two halves around the cable and snap the choke shut, pressing
down on the plastic latch to secure it.
3. Install the second ferrite choke adjacent to the first.
4. If necessary to prevent the ferrite chokes from slipping down the cable, install
a tie wrap behind the second ferrite choke.
