The following customer-provided cables are used with this product:
Plug-ended Telco 50-pin cable for connection from the HotWire DSLAM Line
port to the CO POTS splitter shelf, Main Distribution Frame (MDF), or other
demarcation point.
One 8-pin modular UTP (Unsheilded Twisted Pair) CAT5 cable for each
connection from a LAN/WAN port associated with a 8546 DSL card in the
HotWire DSLAM chassis to the Ethernet hub or switch.
CAUTION:
Use of any non-twisted pair wiring arrangements, such as jumpers, can
cause reduction in overall DSL reach performance, even over short
distances. Please refer to the Special Notice shipped with the
HotWire 8800/8600 DSLAM.
Refer to Pin Assignments on page 9 for pinouts.
Use a small- to medium-size flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver to install the

An 8546 DSL card can be installed, removed, and replaced from a HotWire
DSLAM chassis without service disruption (i.e., you can replace a card without
powering down the chassis and disrupting service to the other cards in the
chassis).
NOTE:
When installing the 8546 DSL card, you will need to remove the filler plate
before proceeding.
Do not discard unused filler plates. Each slot in the chassis must contain a
circuit card or a filler plate. Store all unused filler plates in a safe place. You
may need to use the filler plates to cover open slots in the chassis at a later
time.
