Typical Configurations
Hotwire Model 7914 standalone units can be used in campus applications where
long loop distances normally require the campus to contract with the local
telephone exchange carrier to deliver private line services across the campus.
Figure 1-1 shows two typical campus applications where remote PBXs or
multiplexers are interconnected across a campus using two Hotwire Model 7914
standalone units. In each pair, one unit is configured as a central site or central
office (CO) unit and the other is the remote or customer premises (CP) unit.
The Hotwire Model 7914 standalone unit is configured at the factory to operate at
the CP side of a T1 SDSL connection. (Conversely, Hotwire Model 7914 nest
cards are configured for CO operation.) The central site unit must be reconfigured
for CO operation in these configurations.

Hotwire Model 7914 standalone units are also ideal for delivering T1 services
from a central site to the customer premises over long loop distances without
repeaters.
Figure 1-2 shows a central-site application with a Hotwire 7900 Nest containing
Hotwire Model 7914 nest cards. The nest cards at the central site each terminate
a single SDSL subscriber line. Each line is then converted to a DSX-1 interface
for connection to other central office equipment, such as a digital cross-connect
system (DCS).

Installing the Unit
Planning for Your SDSL Application
A pair of Hotwire 7914 Termination Units operates on a standard twisted-pair
phone line. Observe the following restrictions for a successful installation:
Be sure the line consists of twisted pair. Any flat cable has a major negative
effect on loop length that can be supported.
Use Category 5 cable for the user connections.
Plan the phone line to be dedicated to SDSL. The same phone line used for
the 7914 Termination Unit pair cannot also be used at the same time to carry
other voice or data services. This is because the SDSL frequency spectrum
overlaps with the voice band (including voice, fax and analog modems), as
well as the higher spectrums of digital services (including ADSL, HDSL or
ISDN).
Measure or estimate the length of the phone line you plan to use. Hotwire
7914 Termination Units support connections as distant as 18,000 feet (over
three miles) on noise-free 24 AWG wire.
The actual loop length that can be supported will vary, depending on:
— The loop cable gauge
— Noise introduced from neighboring phone lines in the same binder group
or cable (which can change over time)
— Noise introduced at either termination unit, such as interference from a
PC monitor if the phone line is too close by (which can change over time)
Although the line rate is 1.54 Mbps downstream and upstream
simultaneously, the actual throughput will vary depending on:
— Any interfering loop noise present in the cable
— Quality and wire gage of the connecting cable
Handle the termination unit with care and use it in the proper environment.
NOTE:
Keep the cover on the termination unit for performance and for safety
reasons.

.
Selecting V.35 or V.11 Signaling
Jumpers P6 – P21 on the board determine whether the unit uses V.11 or V.35
signaling. The unit defaults to V.35. To switch between V.11 and V.35, you must
move the position of jumpers P6 – P21. Refer Appendix C,
Definitions,
for more information.
Displaying Switchpack Definitions
To display the definition of each position in switchpack S4, enter 3 (for CP units)
or 4 (for CO units) at the Config prompt. Switchpack definitions are also listed in
Appendix C,
After you press a key to continue displaying the switchpack definitions, the
following table appears. Use the table to set switches 3 through 7 for the desired
payload rate.
— For 640 kbps, set switch 7 OFF, 6 ON, 5 OFF, 4 ON, and 3 OFF.
— For 1024 kbps, set switch 7 ON, and switches 6, 5, 4, and 3 OFF.
— For 1536 kbps, set switches 7 and 6 ON, and switches 5, 4, and 3 OFF.
Settings from 11000 (24) through 11111 (31) are interpreted as a request
for 1536 kbps.
If you change from 1544 kbps to a lower rate, and the far-end unit is
DSX-1-compatible, you must set the starting time slot on the DSX-1-compatible
unit and reset the units.

Understanding Loopback Tests
Loopback is a diagnostic function that enables a technician to isolate equipment
on the SDSL circuit to determine where on the circuit trouble may be occurring.
Loopback takes the system off-line. Data received from T1 or V.35/V.11
application equipment is looped back.
“Local” and “remote” refer to the point at which the data is looped back. In a local
loopback the data is reflected back by the local unit (the unit that initiated the
loopback). In a remote loopback, the data is passed on to the remote (far-end)
unit and then reflected back.
Figures 7-1through 7-4 illustrate how local and remote loopbacks operate in
different configurations. The bold arrows indicate the direction of data flow.
