TM
A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) 8546 card is a circuit card assembly (CCA) that
contains four Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL) ports, an Ethernet
interface to the Internet Service Provider (ISP), and a processor. The processor
controls the RADSL ports and forwards the packet traffic to and from the Ethernet
and DSL interfaces. When the 8546 DSL card is used in a HotWire 8600 or 8800
DSL Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) chassis connected to a HotWire 5446 Remote
Termination Unit (RTU), it provides high-speed Internet or Intranet access with
dynamic IP addressing and enhanced security over traditional twisted-pair
telephone wiring.

    NOTE: When installing the 8546 DSL card, you will need to remove the filler plate before proceeding. Do not discard unused filler plates. Each slot in the chassis must contain a circuit card or a filler plate.
  • Page 4 — For a HotWire 8800 DSLAM chassis – hold the 8546 DSL card vertically with component side facing right and insert it into the top and bottom card guides.
  • Page 5 CAUTION: Do not force the 8546 DSL card into the slot. If it does not seat properly, remove the card and reinstall it. If it still does not seat properly, call service.
  • Page 6 Connecting to a POTS Splitter or an MDF You can connect the HotWire DSLAM chassis containing the 8546 DSL card to a POTS splitter shelf, MDF, or other demarcation point. NOTE: If you are connecting the HotWire DSLAM to a CO POTS splitter, this procedure assumes that the CO POTS splitter shelf is already installed.
  • Page 7 If you are connecting the Telco 25-pair, 50-pin cable to an MDF without a POTS splitter in the line, a converter may be necessary for terminating the other end of the cable on a punchdown block before cross-connecting to an MDF. 8546-A2-GN10-20 October 1997...
