Hotwire DSL System Description
What is the Hotwire DSL System?
The Hotwirer Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) system is a set of central site
products that terminate and consolidate packet data traffic from many customers
in a serving area. The DSL card(s) then forwards the traffic to one or more
network access provider networks.
High-speed Internet and intranet access is bridged on the DSL port cards and
multiplexed over backbone networks. By enabling very high speeds using DSL
technology and concentrating Internet Protocol (IP) traffic, greater performance is
realized.

The DSL platform houses a Management Communications Controller (MCC) card
and up to 18 DSL cards (for example, 8540 RADSL cards, 8546 RADSL cards, or
a combination of cards). The DSL chassis interoperates with multiple types of
Hotwire Remote Termination Units (RTU) to deliver applications at multimegabit
speed in support of packet services over a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) link.
The 8540 RADSL card interoperates with the following Hotwire RTUs:
H 5216
H 5246
The 8546 RADSL card interoperates with the following Hotwire RTU:
H 5446
NOTE:

Hotwire DSL System Description
MCC Card
The DSLAM and GranDSLAM chassis require one MCC card, which is a
processor card that administers and provides management connectivity to the
DSL cards. It acts as a mid-level manager and works in conjunction with a Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) system, such as Paradyne’s OpenLanet
DCE Manager for HP OpenView, via its LAN port. It gathers operational status for
each of the DSL cards and responds to the SNMP requests. It also has a serial
port for a local user interface to the chassis. The following MCC cards are used in
the Hotwire chassis:
RADSL Cards
Use this MCC Card . . .
MCC, MCC Plus 8600, 8800, or 8810 DSLAM
MCP 8610 DSLAM or 8820 GranDSLAM
In this Hotwire Chassis. . .
For more information, see the Hotwire Management Communications Controller
(MCC) Card User’s Guide.
NOTE:
All references to MCC cards in this document refer to the MCC, MCC Plus
and MCP cards, unless specifically noted otherwise.
In addition to an MCC card, the chassis requires at least one DSL card, such as
an 8540 or 8546 RADSL card. These circuit cards contain RADSL ports, an
Ethernet interface to the Internet Service Provider (ISP), and a processor/packet
forwarder. The processor/packet forwarder controls the endpoints and forwards
the packet traffic via the Ethernet and RADSL interfaces.

2-5
Hotwire Menus and Screens
User Login Screen
You can log in to the Hotwire DSL system using either a local VT100- compatible
terminal or a remote Telnet connection. However, each card in the Hotwire DSL
system accepts only one login session at a time.
At the User Login screen, enter your login ID and password. You must wait until
your login is verified, anywhere from two seconds to 12 minutes. If you have
RADIUS Authentication, this verification takes some time while each RADIUS
server is contacted one at a time.
If you are denied access during a Telnet session, the session stops and an error
is logged. If you are using a console, return to the User Login screen.
NOTE:
The User Login screen only appears if one or more users have been defined
on the MCC.
NOTE:
If you forget your password, contact our Technical Service Center. Have the
serial number of the MCC card available, and the service representative will
provide you with a password.
2-6
The user ID and password are case-sensitive; that is, the system recognizes both
upper- and lowercase letters. For example, if you enter your user name and
password information in uppercase letters and your assigned user name and
password are in upper- and lowercase letters, the system will not let you log in.
User ID and password are limited to a maximum of 15 characters. Any user
account with a user ID or password exceeding 15 characters is treated as invalid
by the MCC.
After entering your user ID and password, the system displays the Hotwire
Chassis Main Menu.
