About This Document
This guide is written for administrators and technicians who install devices at the
central office (CO) or at a Network Service Provider (NSP) location adjacent to the CO.
It should be used in conjunction with the appropriate Hotwire DSL card User's Guide or
Network Configuration Guide, which describes how to plan the data networks
surrounding the DSLAM and specific DSL cards.
To install the customer premises (CP) portion of the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM, refer to the
appropriate Hotwire Remote Termination Unit (RTU) Customer Premises Installation
Instructions and Hotwire POTS Splitter Customer Premises Installation Instructions.
What is the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM?
The Hotwire 8610 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), which can be
installed in the CO or at a customer location adjacent to the CO, is a low-startup-cost
alternative to the Hotwire 8810 DSLAM chassis. It provides high-speed Internet or
intranet access.
The following illustration shows a high-level view of an example Hotwire configuration.
