Connecting to an MDF
You can connect the Hotwire DSLAM chassis containing the Hotwire 8799 TDM
SHDSL Line Card to an MDF or other demarcation point. Do not connect it to a
POTS splitter.
Procedure
To connect the Hotwire DSLAM chassis containing the Hotwire 8799 TDM SHDSL
Line Card to an MDF:
1. Plug the Telco 50-pin cable into the appropriate LINE
port on the chassis.
2. Replace the longer Telco cable captive screw with a shorter connector captive
screw, which is provided with the Hotwire DSLAM chassis.
3. Insert a cable tie (provided with Hotwire DSLAM chassis) through the tie
mount to hold the Telco 50-pin connector in place. If more than one Telco
cable is being connected, span the two or three connectors.
4. Make sure the other end is connected to the appropriate MDF or demarcation
point.
Refer to
Connector Pin Assignments
in the
Hotwire 8799 TDM SHDSL Line
Card, with G.703 Interface, User’s Guide
for pinouts.
NOTE:
If you are connecting the Telco 25-pair, 50-pin cable to an MDF, a converter
may be necessary for terminating the other end of the cable on a punchdown
block before cross-connecting to an MDF.
