The BitStorm™ system enables simultaneous high-speed digital data access and
analog voice service over the same twisted-pair telephone line. The BitStorm 6051
POTS (plain old telephone service) splitter card separates the DSL (Digital
Subscriber Line) and POTS frequencies. It provides service to up to 24 DSL ports.

Cables You Need
Preparation
The POTS splitter card has three interfaces and each of the three POTS Splitter
card connectors requires a 50-conductor cable with a 50-pin Telco connector. Use
a minimum of 24 AWG.
Each DSL port at the BitStorm 4800 uses one pair of copper wires out of the
25 pairs on each 50-position connector . To use all 48 ports, two POTS splitter
cards and six cables are required.
The installation location should be well ventilated, clean, and free of environmental
extremes. Allow clearance at the front of the POTS splitter chassis to provide
access to the cables.

Securing Cables to the POTS Splitter
Cables can be dressed to the left or right depending on the wiring of the cable
heads. Make or procure cables suitable for your equipment layout.
Procedure
To secure a cable to the POTS splitter card:
1. Install the plastic tie-wrap anchor mount onto the POTS splitter card faceplate
on the cable exit side with the screws provided. Slide the tie wrap through the
anchor from the top.
2. Attach the cable head to the POTS splitter connector.
— If the connector on the cable has a long screw, tighten the screw directly
into the connector located in the circuit card. Discard the jack screws
provided.
