What Does the POTS Splitter Do?
The POTS splitter and HotWire Remote Termination Unit (RTU) are components in the
RADSL Access System. This system provides high-speed Internet or corporate LAN
access over traditional twisted-pair copper telephone wiring.
The POTS splitter filters out the DSL signal and allows the POTS frequencies to pass
through. The RADSL RTU and telephone can function simultaneously over the same
pair of copper wires at the customer premises when a POTS splitter is used at both
ends of the local loop.
Copper pairs are run from the central office (CO) to the customer premises (CP) to
create the local loop. The local loop terminates on the customer premises.

Notice to Users of the Telephone Network
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of the
equipment’s enclosure is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC
registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If
requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises
wiring using compatible modular plugs and jacks which are Part 68 compliant. Refer to
Before You Begin
, page 1, for details.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company.
If the Model 5034 Telephone Line Filter causes harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service
may be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will
notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the
telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
