Important Regulatory Information
Important Safety Instructions
1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the manual.
2. This product is intended to be used with a 3-wire grounding type plug – a plug which has a grounding pin. This is
a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the
grounding type plug by modifying the plug or using an adapter.
Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the ac receptacle for the presence of earth
ground. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the installation must not continue until a qualified electrician
has corrected the problem.
If a 3-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a qualified electrician to determine another
method of grounding the equipment.
3. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must not be blocked or covered.
4. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the product where persons will walk on the
power cord.
5. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
high voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
6. General purpose cables are provided with this product. Special cables, which may be required by the regulatory
inspection authority for the installation site, are the responsibility of the customer.
7. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable Safety Standards and
regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary , consult with the appropriate regulatory
agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance.
8. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of two or more buildings. If
products installed in separate buildings are interconnected, the voltage potential may cause a hazardous
condition. Consult a qualified electrical consultant to determine whether or not this phenomenon exists and, if
necessary, implement corrective action prior to interconnecting the products.
9. In addition, if the equipment is to be used with telecommunications circuits, take the following precautions:
— Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
— Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
— Never touch un-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
— Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
— Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
— Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

HotWire Model 7924 and 7925 Features
Products in the HotWire 7900 family provide “last mile/last kilometer” transport of
T1- and E1-compatible circuits between customer facilities and central-site
equipment over 2- or 4-wire copper lines. These termination units can be used
over distances substantially exceeding traditional T1 and E1 spans and European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) loop standards.
This chapter provides a general overview of the HotWire Models 7924 and 7925
nest card termination units, including standalone units (A1) and nest-mounted
termination units (B1).

HotWire Model 7924 Typical Configurations
HotWire Model 7924 termination 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 a central-site application with a HotWire 7900 Nest containing
HotWire Model 7924 Nest Card Termination Units. Each nest card terminates a
single subscriber line in the central site. Each line is then converted to a DSX-1
interface for connection to other central-site equipment, such as a digital
cross-connect system (DCS).

Installing Nest Card Termination Units
It is assumed that you have already installed the HotWire Model 7900 Nest and
associated power supply in a standard equipment rack, and that all network
connections have been made. Installation of the optional HotWire 7900 Basic
Maintenance Processor (HTU-M or HTU-S) is described in a separate user’s
guide. Refer to
Procedure
To install the nest card:
1. Use electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection when handling the electronic
components. Remove the card from any protective packaging.
2. Align the circuit board with the top and bottom card guides of the next
available card slot:
— Slot 1 if no maintenance processor option is installed
— Slot 2 if an HTU-S is installed in Slot 1
— Slot 3 if an HTU-M is installed in Slots 1 and 2

Nest filler panels are required to be installed in slots that do not contain nest
cards.
!
WARNING:
Front Panel Fillers are required to be installed for EMI safety purposes.
Install nest filler panels to cover all nest card slots that do not contain
nest cards.
Procedure
To install nest filler panels:
1. Align the filler panel with the retaining screw holes located at the top and
bottom of the nest.
2. Tighten filler panel retaining screws.
3. Repeat until all empty nest-card slots are covered.

Changing Your Configuration Options
This chapter provides instructions on how to change or verify the configuration
options for DSX-1-compatible HotWire 7924 T1 nest cards. Chapter 4 provides
configuration options for G.703-compatible HotWire 7925 E1 nest cards.
Configuration option settings determine how the unit operates. You can change
the unit’s configuration options by changing switchpack and jumper settings on
the circuit card assembly.

Procedure
To change and verify configuration options:
1. Loosen retaining screws at the top and bottom of the nest card.
2. Use electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection when handling the electronic
components. Remove the card from the nest.
3. Use Figure 3-1 to locate switchpack S1.
4. Place the switchpack DIP switches in the ON or OFF position for each
desired configuration option. For example, to change a unit’s card type from
CO to CP, move DIP switch 1 on switchpack 1 to the OFF position.
— P12 is positioned at the factory on Pins 1–2 (switchpack S1 disabled). To
enable switchpack S1, move the jumper on P12 to Pins 2–3.
5. Return the nest card to the nest.
6. Tighten retaining screws at the top and bottom of the nest card.

loopback testing from the Maintenance Processor (HTU-M or HTU-S) Front Panel
or from a VT100-compatible terminal connected to the HTU-M or HTU-S by using
the Maintenance, Performance, or Status options from the Main Menu.

The HTU-M and HTU-S maintenance processors:
Monitor the status of up to 62 or 63 (HTU-S option only) nest card termination
units
Store the performance history of individual circuits and network status
Monitor and display individual circuit and loop status on the maintenance
processor front panel
Display individual circuit and loop status on the VT100-compatible terminal or
PC running a VT100-compatible terminal emulator program
The HTU-S maintenance processor:
Interfaces with and reports circuit status to your Network Management
System using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
For more information on the maintenance processor, refer to the
Model 7900 Basic Maintenance Processor User’s Guide

Some earlier units do not support unframed operation when connected to a
V.35-compatible unit. To determine whether or not your DSX-1 nest card
termination unit supports unframed operation when connected to a
V.35-compatible unit, all three of the following conditions must be true:
1. The DSX-1 nest card termination unit must have a firmware revision number
of 7 or higher.
The firmware revision number is the last two digits on the first line of the label
located on the nest card EPROM located at U5. Refer to Figure 3-1 in
Chapter 3, for the location of the EPROM.

2. The V.35-compatible standalone unit must have an HDSL firmware revision
number of 3 or higher.
To determine the firmware revision number of the V.35 standalone unit, look
at the label on the bottom of the standalone unit that has the “CE” and “CSA”
logos. The second row of numbers on this label should be”900P005705” or
higher. The last two digits of this number (05) indicate the hardware revision
number.
3. The V.35-compatible standalone unit must have a hardware revision number
of 5 or higher.
To determine the hardware revision number, look at the label on the bottom of
the standalone unit that has the “CE” and “CSA” logos. The second row of
numbers on this label should be “900P005705” or higher. The last two digits
of this number (05) indicate the hardware revision number.
