What Does the Hotwire 5246 RTU Do?
The Hotwire 5246 RTU (Remote Termination Unit) is a component in the Hotwire
RADSL Access System and interoperates with the Hotwire 8540 DSL Card in the
DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) system. This system provides
high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access over traditional twisted-pair copper
telephone wiring.
Copper pairs run from the central office (CO) to the customer premises (CP) to create
the local loop. The local loop terminates on the customer premises at the demarcation
point in a punchdown block or network interface device (NID).
Optional POTS Splitter
An optional POTS (plain old telephone service) splitter can be installed to block out the
DSL signal and allow the POTS frequencies to pass through. At the customer
premises, the 5246 RTU and a telephone can function simultaneously over the same
pair of copper wires when either:
A Hotwire 5030 or 5038 POTS Splitter is installed near the demarcation point for all
telephones on the same POTS line as DSL, or
A Hotwire 5038 Distributed POTS Filter is installed on each telephone on the same
POTS line as DSL.

DSL Access without a POTS Splitter When the Hotwire 5246 RTU is installed without a POTS splitter, the DSL line is used for data only and does not provide telephone services. Demarcation...
  • Page 3 DSL Access with a Hotwire 5030 or 5038 POTS Splitter When a Hotwire POTS splitter is used at both ends of the local loop, wiring is connected: From the demarcation point to the CP POTS splitter, and From the demarcation point to the DSL jack. The Hotwire 5030 POTS splitter is designed for outdoor or indoor installation.

    Ethernet cabling: Standard Ethernet 8-pin, non-keyed modular plug for a PC or workstation. An Ethernet straight-through or crossover cable is used. Refer to Installing the Hotwire 5246 RTU on page 9 for Ethernet cable details. Refer to Cables & Connectors on page 14 for standard pin numbers.
  • Page 6: 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 an RJ11 jack. Typically, the punchdown block is installed in commercial locations and the NID is installed in residential locations.
  • Page 7 3. 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. In the following example, a NID is used without a POTS splitter. It includes an existing POTS line and a second pair installed for DSL access.
  • Page 8: Connecting To The Dsl Access Wiring

    Connecting to the DSL Access Wiring The Hotwire 5246 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 9: Installing The Hotwire 5246 Rtu

    Hotwire RTU Jack If the Hotwire 5246 RTU is installed on the same line as POTS, a Hotwire 5038 Distributed POTS Splitter can be used as a phone filter. One 5038 Distributed POTS splitter is installed as a phone filter for each telephone on the POTS/DSL line, as shown below.
  • Page 10 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. Do not connect to the optional Uplink connection with a straight-through cable (requires an Ethernet crossover cable).
