About HotWire Model 7925 Standalone Termination Units There are several versions of the Model 7925-A1, each supporting a different interface (G.703 or V.35) and power supply (– 48 Vdc, 220 Vac, or 120 Vac): Model Number 7925-A1-201 7925-A1-202 7925-A1-301 7925-A1-302...
In each pair, one unit is configured as a central site or central office (CO) and the other is the remote (CP). Each HotWire Model 7925 standalone unit is configured at the factory to operate at the CP side of an E1 HDSL connection. However, you can easily reconfigure a unit for use at the CO end, as would be necessary for the configurations in Figure 1-1.

About HotWire Model 7925 Standalone Termination Units HotWire Model 7925 standalone units are also ideal for delivering E1 services from a central site to the customer premises over long loop distances without repeaters. Figure 1-2 shows a central office application with a HotWire Model 7900 Nest containing HotWire Model 7925 nest cards.
Cellular network providers must lease large numbers of E1 circuits in order to connect remote cell sites to mobile telephone switching offices (MTSOs). HotWire Model 7925 products provide an alternative to standard repeatered E1 services. Figure 1-3 depicts a typical cellular network access application.
