POTS Connection
The Total Access 1248 must be connected to a POTS source to provide POTS to the
subscribers. In a standard configuration, the POTS will be brought in from a nearby cross-
connect. The Total Access 1248 accepts the POTS signal on the top two amphenol connectors
labeled POTS. There is a one-to-one correlation between the pins on the POTS amphenol
connectors and the pins on the ADSL plus POTS (ADSL+POTS) amphenol connectors. Refer to
the
“Customer Connections (ADSL+POTS)”
section below for more information.
To establish a POTS connection, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the cables with the 25-pair female amphenol connectors to the male amphenol
connectors provided, labeled POTS.
2. Tighten the screws (normally provided with each amphenol connector attached to the
cable) on the right side of each amphenol connector, and use the cable ties (provided)
through the tie brackets (provided) to secure the left side of the amphenol connectors.
NOTE
This wire tie may be used to assist in routing the power cables and
the ADSL+POTS cables that originate from the right most amphe-
nol connector.
NOTE
The POTS interface may be connected to the outside plant.
Customer Connections (ADSL+POTS)
The Total Access 1248 provides 48 ADSL+POTS ports on two 50-pin male amphenol
connectors. POTS is brought in from the Central Office (CO) on the POTS amphenol
connectors as described in the preceding section. The ADSL is generated locally and placed on
the same pair as the corresponding POTS signal for delivery to the subscriber.
There is a one-to-one correlation between the pins on the ADSL+POTS amphenol connectors
and the pins on the POTS amphenol connectors. Refer to the
section above
for more information. The 25th pair is not used. To establish the ADSL+POTS connection,
perform the following steps:
1. Connect the 25-pair female amphenol connectors to the male amphenol connectors pro-
vided, labeled
ADSL+POTS
.
2. Tighten the screws (normally provided with each amphenol connector attached to the
cable) on the right side of each amphenol connector, and use the cable ties (provided)
placed through the tie brackets (provided) to secure the left side of the amphenol
connectors.
The pin assignments for the left and right POTS and ADSL+POTS cables are shown in
