About the Hotwire 7986 Standalone Termination Unit
M/HDSL Overview
Hotwire Multirate High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (M/HDSL) products
maximize customer service areas by varying the DSL line rate. This ensures
symmetric DSL connectivity over a wide range of telephone line distances and
transmission line qualities.
Hotwire M/HDSL products can transport at full or fractional payload rates over a
4-wire, full-duplex circuit over varying distances based on the conditions of the
4-wire loop. Examples include support for router, multiplexer and PBX
connections at 128 kbps, with distances exceeding 21,000 feet (6.9 km) on
24 gauge (.5 mm) cable delivered at 2.048 Mbps.
1
Hotwire M/HDSL units are equipped with an automatic configuration capability
that reduces the M/HDSL installation process to a simple plug and play mode.
Simply connecting the units to the line automatically configures the customer for
the maximum data rate supported by the local loop. M/HDSL units can also be
configured at fixed line speeds.

SNMP Management Capabilities
The termination unit supports SNMP Version 1, and can be managed by any
industry-standard SNMP manager and accessed using SNMP by external SNMP
managers.
Management Information Base (MIB) Support
For a detailed description of supported MIBs, visit Paradyne’s web site at
http://www.paradyne.com. The following MIBs are supported:
H MIB II (RFC 1213 and RFC 1573) – Defines the general objects for use with
a network management protocol in TCP/IP internets and provides general
information about the unit. MIB II is backward-compatible with MIB I.
H DS1/E1 MIB (RFC 1406) – Reports the performance status of the DSX-1
interface and supports the features found on the DSX-1 Performance
Statistics screen.
H RS-232-Like MIB (RFC 1659) – Defines objects for managing RS-232-type
interfaces (e.g., V.35, RS-422, RS-423, etc.) and supports the synchronous
data port on the DSU.
H Enterprise MIB – Supports configuration, status, statistics, and tests.

SNMP Trap Support
The 7986 Standalone Termination Unit supports traps as defined in
RFC 1215. They may include variable-bindings specified in the following MIBs:
H MIB II (RFC 1573) – Defines the general objects for use with a network
management protocol in TCP/IP internets and provides general information
about the 7986 Standalone Termination Unit.
H Enterprise MIB – Supports configuration, status, statistics, and tests.
