Before You Begin

An optional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) splitter is available for the 5446 RTU.
When a POTS splitter is installed, the telephone and 5446 RADSL (Rate Adaptive
Digital Subscriber Line) RTU can function at the same time over the same pair of
copper wires. In order to confirm the RTU installation, the POTS splitter should be
installed first. To install a POTS splitter, refer to the appropriate POTS splitter document:
Document Number Document Title
5030-A2-GN10
5034-A2-GN10
After the RTU is installed and powered on, there are additional requirements in order to
utilize the DSL and Ethernet connections. Refer to
Wiring and Cables Needed
The following wiring and standard connectors are used with this product:
New or existing unshielded twisted-pair wiring (CAT3 or better). The CAT3 wiring
must meet EIA/TIA-568 specifications with 24 AWG (.5 mm) or 26 AWG (.4 mm).
Standard RJ11 wall jack.
Standard Ethernet 8-pin, non-keyed modular plug for a PC or workstation. An
Ethernet straight-through or crossover cable is used. Refer to
page 8, for Ethernet cable details.

  • Page 1: Installation Instructions

    October 1997 Before You Begin An optional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) splitter is available for the 5446 RTU. When a POTS splitter is installed, the telephone and 5446 RADSL (Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line) RTU can function at the same time over the same pair of copper wires.
  • Page 2 What Does the HotWire RADSL RTU Do? The 5446 RTU is a component in the DSL Access System. This system provides high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access over traditional twisted-pair copper telephone wiring. DSL Access with a POTS Splitter Copper pairs run from the central office (CO) to the customer premises (CP) to create the local loop.
  • Page 3 DSL Access without a POTS Splitter When the 5446 RTU is installed without a POTS splitter, a second telephone wiring pair is needed for DSL access. Demarcation Point Central Office (CO) Local Loop Network Service Provider Punchdown (NSP) Block or NID...

  • Page 4: Installing The Dsl Access Wiring

    Installing the DSL Access Wiring The local loop terminates at the punchdown block or NID. Wiring must be connected from the customer premises side of the punchdown block or the NID to the DSL jack. Typically, the punchdown block is installed in commercial locations and the NID is installed in residential locations.
  • Page 5 Green (T1) and red (R1) are the standard wiring colors used in the next two illustrations. In the next example, a NID is used without a POTS splitter. It includes an existing POTS line and a second pair installed for DSL access. The pair for the POTS line does not need to be disconnected unless a POTS splitter is going to be installed.
  • Page 6 2. Locate the DSL pair of T1/R1 connectors on the customer premises side of the NID or punchdown block. Attach the wiring that will be connected to the DSL jack. Tighten both terminal screws with a flat-blade screwdriver. Telephone Network Interface Device (NID) Customer Premises (Green) Ring...
  • Page 7 DSL Jack Installation The RTU connects to the local loop via wiring from the demarcation point to an RJ11 wall jack. The DSL twisted-pair wiring from the local loop terminates at a new or existing wall jack. It may be necessary to install a standard single RJ11 jack or replace a single jack with a double RJ11 jack.

  • Page 8: Installing The Rtu

    Installing the RTU Place the 5446 RTU on a flat surface with clearance for the rear connectors. Procedure 1. Use the RJ11 6-pin cable for the DSL connection. Insert one end of the cable into the jack labeled DSL. Insert the other end into the wall jack labeled DSL.
  • Page 9 2. Use an 8-pin Ethernet cable for the Ethernet connection. Insert one end of the cable into the jack labeled ETHERNET. Use a straight-through cable and connect the other end to an Ethernet hub, or Use an Ethernet crossover cable and connect the other end to a PC with an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).
  • Page 10 3. Place the supplied ferrite choke on the Ethernet cable as closely as possible to the RTU. Pass the Ethernet cable through the ferrite choke twice, creating a loop as shown. 4. Close the two halves around the cable and snap the ferrite choke shut.

    If no response to the ping, use the PC ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) utility to verify the IP address and physical address (MAC address) from the end-user system to the 5446 RTU. If the problem continues, contact the NSP. Ethernet LED is off.
  • Page 13 TST LED does not go off, contact the NSP. 5446 RTU IP Setup The 5446 RTU hardware installation is now complete. Additional steps are required by the NSP to utilize the DSL and Ethernet connections. Network Service Provider Example The ISP: Assigns and sets up the RTU IP address and subnet mask.
