About HotWire Model 7915 Standalone Termination Units HotWire Model 7915 standalone units are also ideal for delivering E1 services from a central site to the customer premises over long loop distances without repeaters. Figure 1-2 HotWire Model 7915 nest cards. Each nest card terminates a single subscriber line in the CO.
Cellular network providers must lease large numbers of E1 circuits in order to connect remote cell sites to mobile telephone switching offices (MTSOs). HotWire Model 7915 products provide an alternative to standard repeatered E1 services. Figure 1-3. Cellular Network Access...
Overview This chapter describes the procedure for installing a single standalone termination unit using a 120 Vac or 230 Vac power supply (Model 7915-A1-20x or 7915-A1-30x). If you have multiple standalone units at the same location, you may want to consider installing the units in a HotWire Model 7900 10-Slot Standalone Shelf.
Plug the power transformer into an available 115 or 230 Vac power outlet, running the power lead to the unit housing. Connect the power lead into the – 48 Vdc plug on the rear panel. 7915-A2-GB20-20 DB25-to-V.35 Adapter Cable Pin in Appendix B for pin assignments), depending on whether you on page A at the beginning of this User’s Guide.
