About the HotWire 8600 DSLAM
What is the HotWire 8600 DSLAM?
The HotWire 8600 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), which
can be installed in the Central Office (CO) or at a customer location adjacent to
the CO, is a low start-up cost alternative to the HotWire 8800 DSLAM chassis.
Through the use of Digital Subscriber Line technology, DSLAM provides
simultaneous high-speed data access (digital) and POTS service (analog) over
the same twisted-pair telephone line. Support of this simultaneous access
requires the installation of POTS splitter equipment at both ends of the line (i.e.,
at the Central Office and at the customer premises).
1
The HotWire 8600 DSLAM can be configured to operate with multiple types of
endpoints installed at the customer end of the telephone loop to allow users at
remote locations to access Internet Service Providers or corporate networks by
means of the DSLAM.

HotWire 8600 DSLAM base chassis
HotWire 8600 DSLAM is a three-slot chassis designed to house one
Management Communications Controller (MCC) card in the first slot and up
to two DSL cards in the remaining slots. Since the MCC card in the
8600 system can provide management connectivity for up to five other
8600 DSLAMs, these other systems can use the first slot for a DSL card, thus
housing up to three DSL cards.

One Management Communications Controller (MCC) card
The HotWire 8600 DSLAM requires one MCC card mounted in Slot 1 of the
base, or first, chassis in a stack. The MCC card is a processor card that
administers and provides diagnostic connectivity to DSL cards in from one to
six 8600 DSLAMs. It acts as a mid-level manager and works in conjunction
with an SNMP network management system, such as HP OpenView, via its
LAN port. It gathers operational status for each of the DSL cards and
responds to the SNMP requests. It also supports a serial port for local
terminal access.
At least one Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) card
The 8600 DSLAM requires at least one DSL card. Each DSL card contains
four DSL ports, Ethernet interface circuitry, and a processor. The processor
controls the modems and forwards the packet traffic to and from the Ethernet
and DSL interfaces.
NOTE:
You must order the MCC and DSL cards separately. They are not provided
with the chassis.

About the HotWire 8600 DSLAM
HotWire 8600 DSLAM Features
The HotWire 8600 DSLAM system has the following features:
Power Redundancy
Two versions of the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis are available:
— ac power
— dc power
The ac version can also be connected to a dc source to provide power
redundancy. When using the dc version, two separate dc sources may be
employed to provide power redundancy. If one power source fails, the other
source provides all of the power needed by the system. This is done
automatically without system disruption.
The dc version requires a source of –48 Vdc, while the ac version will
operate from 100 to 250 volts ac, 50 to 60 Hz.
Front-Facing Interface Connections
The interface connections on the front of the chassis allows all interface
cables to be connected and maintained in the front of the chassis for easy
accessibility.
Stackable Chassis for DSL Access Growth
Each chassis is an independent, standalone system. The stackable design
provides for six systems to share management access through a single MCC
card which, in turn, allows an additional slot for a DSL card in each of up to
five additional systems. In a stacked configuration, the first or base chassis is
equipped with an MCC card in Slot 1 leaving Slots 2 and 3 available for up to
two DSL cards, or a maximum of eight DSL ports.
Each additional system will accept up to three DSL cards for a maximum of
12 additional DSL ports.
A HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis can be added or removed from the stack
without disrupting service to the other items in the stack.
The base system is electrically connected to additional systems by
connecting the 8-pin modular expansion cable provided from the OUT port of
the base chassis to the IN port of the next chassis in the stack.
Hot Swappable Cards
The MCC and DSL cards can be installed and removed from the HotWire
8600 DSLAM chassis without service disruption. You can replace a card
without powering down the chassis and disrupting service to the other cards.
Primary Network Management Support via SNMP
SNMP management of the DSL cards is accomplished over a single Ethernet
connection to the MCC card from a Network Management System (NMS)
(such as Paradyne’s DCE Manager for HP OpenView). The MCC card
gathers all management information for each of the DSL cards and responds
to the SNMP requests on behalf of the cards.

About the HotWire 8600 DSLAM
In addition, the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis can be placed on a desk or table,
and stacked on top of each other. For stability, do not set more than three
HotWire 8600 chassis on top of each other in a single stack on a desk or table
top. Two physical stacks of three chassis can be interconnected to provide
shared management access for six HotWire 8600 chassis.

and check for physical damage. If the 8600 chassis shows signs of shipping
damage, report this immediately to your shipping and sales representatives.
Pre-installation Considerations
Consider the following before performing installation of the 8600 chassis:
Installation Site
Your installation site should be well-ventilated, clean, and free of
environmental extremes. If you are installing the HotWire 8600 DSLAM
chassis in a Central Office rack, make sure there is 2 to 3 feet of clearance at
the front of the rack in which the 8600 chassis is to be installed to allow
access for the installation of the chassis, circuit cards, and cables.
Power
The ac power version requires a power source of 100 – 250 Vac
@ 50 – 60 Hz; maximum current draw is 3 amps @ 110 Vac.
The dc power version requires a –48 Vdc power source (–40.0 to –60.0 Vdc;
maximum current draw is 2 amps). The size of power source wires must be
between 14 AWG and 18 AWG, and can be either solid or stranded.
However, 16 AWG stranded wire is recommended.
Installing and Connecting the Hardware
Grounding
A ground lug is located at the center of the cover at the rear. It accepts
14 AWG wire.
A non-insulated banana jack is located at the left front side of the unit to
provide a ground for the ESD wrist strap plug.
Stacking
Up to three 8600 chassis may be physically stacked safely on top of each
other. However, for stacks of more than three, start a second stack or mount
in a 19- or 23-inch rack. Contact your sales representative for ordering
information.
Cabling
The following customer-provided cables and cable adapters are required with
this product:
— Plug-ended Telco 50-pin cable for connection from the HotWire 8600
DSLAM Line ports to the CO POTS splitter shelf or MDF.
— 8-pin UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) CAT5 modular cable for connection
from each DSL card in the HotWire 8600 DSLAM to the LAN or WAN.
You will need one 8-pin modular cable for accessing the LAN/WAN
circuits of each DSL.
— 8-pin UTP CAT5 modular cable for connection from the HotWire 8600
DSLAM MANAGEMENT MCC port to a 10BaseT hub connector
(connected to an SNMP management system network).
8600-A2-GN20-20
— 14-foot CAT5 serial cable and DB25 adapter are shipped with the MCC
card. For connection to a terminal or computer, you may have to supply a
(female) DB9 to (male) DB25 adapter if your terminal or computer has a
