What is a Hotwire 8312/8314 MVL or ReachDSL/MVL Card?
A Hotwire
®
8312/8314 MVL
®
card is a circuit card assembly that contains 12 MVL
ports, an interface to the Network Service Provider (NSP), and a processor. The
processor controls the MVL ports and forwards the packet traffic to and from the
uplink and MVL interfaces.
When the MVL card is used in a Hotwire Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer (DSLAM) or 8620/8820 GranDSLAM chassis and connected to the
Hotwire 6310 MVL Modem, it provides high-speed Internet or intranet access over
traditional twisted-pair telephone wiring.
The 8312/8314 ReachDSL
™
/MVL cards are based on the 8312/8314 MVL cards
and provide the following enhancements:
Maximum on-hook Tx power is increased from 10 to 12dB
Maximum off-hook Tx power is increased from 7 to 12dB
Maximum line rate is increased from 768 to 960 kbps.
The 8312/8314 ReachDSL/MVL cards interoperate with either the 6310 MVL
Modem or the 6350 ReachDSL Modem.
