About This Guide
Document Purpose and Intended Audience
This guide describes how to:
Mount the HotWire 8800 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM)
chassis at the Central Office (CO) or Internet Service Provider (ISP) location
adjacent to the CO.
Install the Management Communications Controller (MCC) and Digital
Subscriber Line (DSL) cards into the chassis.
Connect cables to the primary data and network management system LANs,
to a console, modem (for remote terminal access), to the local loops, and to a
CO alarm system.
It is written for administrators and technicians who install devices at the Central
Office. It should be used in conjunction with the
HotWire DSLAM for 8540 and
8546 DSL Cards Network Configuration Guide, which describes how to plan the
data networks surrounding the DSLAM, and with the
HotWire DSLAM for 8540
and 8546 DSL Cards User’s Guide which describes how to configure and operate
the DSLAM DSL and MCC cards.
The chassis requires one MCC card and at least one DSL card, which must be
ordered separately. It is assumed that you have already purchased the required
circuit cards.
To install the Customer Premises (CP) portion of the HotWire 8800 DSLAM, refer
to the appropriate HotWire Remote Termination Unit (RTU) Customer Premises
