Document Number 5446-A2-GN10-60
May 1999
Before You Begin
The Hotwire5446 RTU (Remote Termination Unit) interoperates with the Hotwire 8546
DSL Card in the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) system.
An optional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) splitter is available for the Hotwire
5446 RTU. When a POTS splitter is installed, the telephone and 5446 RADSL (Rate
Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line) RTU can function at the same time over the same pair
of copper wires. In order to confirm the RTU installation, the POTS splitter should be
installed first.
To install a POTS splitter, refer to the appropriate POTS splitter document:

What Does the Hotwire 5446 RTU Do?
The Hotwire 5446 RTU is a component in the Hotwire RADSL Access System. This
system provides high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access over traditional
twisted-pair copper telephone wiring.
A POTS splitter blocks out the DSL signal and allows the POTS frequencies to pass
through. At the customer premises, the RADSL RTU and a telephone can function
simultaneously over the same pair of copper wires when either:
HA Hotwire 5030 or 5038 POTS Splitter is installed near the demarcation point for all
telephones on the same POTS line as DSL,
or
HA Hotwire 5038 Distributed POTS Filter is installed on each telephone on the same
POTS line as DSL.
DSL Access with a Hotwire 5030 or 5038 POTS Splitter
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).
The Hotwire 5030 POTS splitter is designed for outdoor or indoor installation. The
Hotwire 5038 POTS Splitter is designed for indoor use only.
When a Hotwire POTS splitter is used at both ends of the local loop, wiring is
connected:
HFrom the demarcation point to the CP POTS splitter, and
HFrom the demarcation point to the DSL jack.

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.
Procedure
1. Access the punchdown block or NID.
!WARNING:
Do not continue unless the DSL access line from the local loop has been
disconnected at the NID or punchdown block. Refer to
Important Safety
Instructions,
page 20.
2. Disconnect the DSL access pair from the local loop.
A punchdown block is used without a POTS splitter in the following example.

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.

The 5446 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.
