Introduction What is the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM? ® The Hotwire 8610 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), which can be installed in the central office (CO) or at a customer location adjacent to the CO, is a low-startup-cost alternative to the Hotwire 8810 DSLAM chassis. It provides high-speed Internet or intranet access.
Page 14
1. Introduction The 8610 DSLAM accepts the following types of IP Conservative cards: ® ™ , ReachDSL /MVL, RADSL, IDSL, SDSL, and TDM SDSL cards. These cards provide a processor and an Ethernet interface to the NSP. The processor controls the modems and forwards the packet traffic to and from the Ethernet and DSL interfacesi.
The Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis has the following features: Power Redundancy AC and DC Powered Models Two versions of the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis are available: — AC power The AC version will operate from 100 to 240 volts AC (nominal), 50 to 60 Hz.
The Hotwire 8610 DSLAM consists of the following components: Hotwire 8610 DSLAM base chassis Hotwire 8610 DSLAM is a 3-slot chassis designed to house one MCP card in the first slot and up to two DSL cards in the remaining slots. Since the MCP...
Installation Preinstallation Considerations Consider the following before performing installation of the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis: Installation Site Your installation site should be well ventilated, clean, and free of environmental extremes. If you are installing the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis in a central office rack, make sure there is 2 to 3 feet of clearance at the front of the rack in which the 8610 chassis is to be installed to allow access for the installation of the chassis, circuit cards, and cables.

Use of any nontwisted pair wiring arrangements, such as jumpers, can cause reduction in overall DSL reach performance, even over short distances. NOTE: Each Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis weighs approximately nine pounds (with circuit cards) and can be easily installed by one installer. April 2001 8610-A2-GN20-10...
NOTE: The Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis requires an MCP card and at least one DSL card for proper functionality. These cards are not provided as part of the 8610 chassis and must be ordered separately.
Industries Association (EIA) standard 19- or 23-inch rack. Both 19- and 23-inch rack-mounting hardware is provided with the unit. In a typical mounting configuration, up to 14 Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis can be mounted in a 7-foot rack. This illustration shows the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis installed in a rack.
2. Installation Hotwire 8610 DSLAM Chassis Installation The Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis is designed to be stacked one on top of the other on a desktop or table, or mounted in a 19-or 23-inch rack (front or center mount). Up to three 8610 chassis can be stacked on a table or desktop. Mounting brackets are provided for mounting in 19- or 23-inch racks.
2. Installation Interconnecting 8610 Systems Procedure To interconnect multiple Hotwire 8610 systems: 1. Connect the end of an 8-pin modular cable into the Management OUT port of the base chassis. 2. Dress the 8-pin modular cable to the left and under the chassis, behind the foot, and up the side of the unit.
Network Tip and Ring Connections in Chapter 3, Cabling , for more information. Procedure To install the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis in a rack that has threaded screw holes: 1. Install the mounting brackets on the 8610 chassis by removing the two front screws on each side of the unit.
2. Installation Installing the 8610 Chassis in a Rack without Threaded Screw Holes Procedure To install the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis in a rack that does not have threaded screw holes: 1. Install the mounting brackets on the 8610 chassis.
Center-Mounting the 8610 Chassis in a Rack Procedure To center-mount the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis in a rack: 1. Determine the preferred placement of the 8610 chassis in the rack. Then, mark the appropriate locations for the mounting screws on the rack.
2. Installation Supplying Power The Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis is available in two versions: DC power (–40.0 to – 60.0 VDC; maximum current draw is 2 amps) — The DC version has two separate DC inputs, A and B, to provide power redundancy.
–48V input terminal block. Ensure that each wire is fully inserted into the terminal (until it can go no further). To supply –48 VDC power to the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis from a single –48 VDC power source: 1.
–48V input terminal block. Ensure that each wire is fully inserted into the terminal (until it can go no further). To supply two DC power sources to the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis for power redundancy: 1.
2. Installation Using Only AC Power Source Procedure To supply power to the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis using a single AC power source: 1. Plug the AC power cord into the IEC 320 receptacle labeled AC INPUT. 2. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into your AC power outlet.
–48V input terminal block. Ensure that each wire is fully inserted into the terminal (until it can go no further). To supply both AC and DC power to the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis for power redundancy: 1.
NOTES: — All standalone 8610 chassis (i.e., chassis that are not daisy-chained to other Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis) require an MCP card in Slot 1, but only the base chassis of a multisystem stack requires an MCP card. — Do not discard filler plates. Each slot in the chassis must contain a circuit card or a filler plate to maintain the required EMI shielding and to prevent air leakage from the forced air cooling.
Page 32
2. Installation Procedure To install a circuit card in the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis: 1. Remove the filler plate from the slot by unscrewing the mounting screws at each end. 2. Hold the card horizontally with the components on top, and insert it into the left and right card guides of the slot of the base chassis.
2. Installation Verifying the Installation To verify the hardware installation, observe the following indicators: The PWR A and/or PWR B LEDs on the front panel must be in the ON state (green): — If you are using a single –48 VDC power source, then only the green PWR A LED will be ON.
