3.1.1 VDSL and POTS Connections

Connect the lines from the user equipment (VDSL modem) to the VDSL LINE port and the
lines from the central office switch or PBX (Private Branch Exchange) to the POTS LINE
port. Make sure that the VDSL LINE wire wrapping pins and the POTS LINE wire wrapping
pins are not shorted on the MDF (Main Distribution Frame).
The line from the user carries both the VDSL and the voice signals. For each line, the switch
has a built-in splitter that separates the high frequency VDSL signal from the voice band
signal and feeds the VDSL signal to the switch, while the voice band signal is diverted to the
POTS LINE port.
