HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis
The HotWire 8600 DSLAM is a low-cost alternative to the HotWire
8800 DSLAM. The 8600 DSLAM is an independent, standalone system. A
stackable design provides for up to six 8600 DSLAMs to share management
access through a single MCC card. In a stacked configuration, the first or
base chassis is equipped with an MCC card in Slot 1, leaving Slots 2 and 3
available for up to two DSL cards or a maximum of eight DSL ports. Each
additional chassis houses up to three DSL cards. This stacking capability
allows you to incrementally expand your DSL access service.
