Hotwire 6310 ReachDSL v1 (MVL) Modem Overview
The Hotwire®6310 ReachDSL™version 1 (formerly MVL®) Modem is a component in
the Hotwire ReachDSL System and interoperates with the Hotwire 8310 MVL, or
Hotwire 8312/8314 ReachDSL Card in the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer) system. This system provides high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access
over traditional twisted-pair copper telephone wiring.
The ReachDSL technology:

Utilizes an inline phone filter on the ReachDSL modem’s PHONE jack.

Operates over existing copper wire with existing telephone jacks.

Includes a second line pass-through from the ReachDSL modem’s LINE jack to
PHONE jack to accommodate an attached 2-line telephone.

Provides rate adaptive data rates to dynamically adapt and allocate bandwidth to
optimize applications.

2
In addition, the ReachDSL v1 technology:
 Transforms a single copper pair into multiple virtual lines to support multiple
services simultaneously.
 Supports simultaneous multiple access of four ReachDSL v1 modems with up to
254 end-user systems sharing one common WAN interface.
 Features HomeLink, which provides peer-to-peer communications, including print
and file sharing applications (see
HomeLink (for ReachDSL v1 Modems Only) on
page 10).
Hotwire ReachDSL System
Copper pairs run from the central office (CO) to the customer premises (CP) to create
the local loop. The local loop terminates on the customer premises at the demarcation
point.

Phone Filter
Depending on the type of phone handset and the quality of the home or business wiring,
a phone filter is recommended to minimize background noise during a phone
conversation. An internal phone filter is included with the Hotwire 6310 ReachDSL v1
Modem. If additional telephones are used on the same phone line as the ReachDSL
modem, install one phone filter on each telephone.
There are two Hotwire phone filters:
 Hotwire 6035 Universal Phone Filter is designed for use with a tabletop phone.
 Hotwire 6040 Universal Wall Jack Phone Filter is designed for use with a wall
phone.

Installing the Hotwire 6310 ReachDSL v1 Modem
Place the ReachDSL modem on a flat surface with clearance for the rear connectors.
Procedure
1. If a telephone is connected at the RJ11
wall jack where the modem will be installed,
unplug the telephone line from the wall jack.
2. Connect a telephone to the modem.
(Optional –go to Step 3 if you are not
connecting a telephone to the ReachDSL
modem.)
Plug the existing telephone interface cable
that was unplugged in Step 1 into the jack
labeled PHONE.
3. Use the supplied RJ11 6-pin interface cable for theLINE connection. Insert one end
of the cable into the jack labeled LINE. Insert the other end of the cable into the
RJ11 wall jack.
NOTE:
If you are installing a POTS splitter with another telephone, connect the
telephone to the jack labeled PHONE, then connect the jack labeled LINE to a
wall jack. Do NOT plug any cable into the POTS splitter jack labeled either
MODEM or DSL. In particular, make NO connections between a POTS splitter
and the modem.

Troubleshooting
LED Symptom Action
All LEDs are on. If LEDs remain on after ten minutes, the modem is not
functional. Contact the service provider.
ALM LED remains
on. The power-on self-test may have failed. Unplug the unit and reapply power. If the alarm LED is still on, contact the service
provider.
ALM and TST LEDs
are blinking. Firmware download may be in progress. If firmware download is not in progress or the LEDs continue blinking after ten minutes,
contact the service provider.
Ethernet LED is off. Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely installed at both ends,
and at least one PC is connected and powered on.
Verify that the correct straight-through or crossover cable is
installed. Refer to
Installing the Hotwire 6310 ReachDSL v1
Modem
on page 5.
LINE LED is off. Verify that the LINE cable is securely installed on both ends. If
the problem continues, contact the service provider.
Verify that the line has dial tone. If there is no dial tone, contact
the service provider.
LINE LED is on and
there is no data
transmission.
The DSL link has been established but there is no data
transmission. Verify the Ethernet connection. If the problem
persists, contact the service provider.
LINE and Ethernet
LEDs are on and
there is no data
transmission.
The DSL line and Ethernet links have been established but
there is no data transmission. If the problem continues, contact
the service provider.
PWR LED is off. Check that the power cord is securely installed on both ends.
If no LEDs are on, the power supply may be defective. Test the
outlet to verify power. If the problem persists, contact the
service provider.
If other LEDs are on, the PWR LED may be burned out. Unplug
the unit and reapply power; watch all LEDs during the power-on
self-test to verify if the PWR LED is functioning.
TST LED is on. A test initiated by the service provider may be active. Wait five
minutes. If the TST LED does not go off, contact the service
provider.

To improve data transmission throughput and minimize background noise during a
telephone conversation, make sure that:
 The Hotwire 6310 ReachDSL v1 Modem is always powered on, even when not in
use, and
 A Hotwire phone filter is installed on every telephone on the same line as the
Hotwire 6310 ReachDSL v1 Modem (see Phone Filter on page 3).
HomeLink (for ReachDSL v1 Modems Only)
HomeLink is a feature that provides peer-to-peer communications for PCs attached to
different Hotwire 6310 ReachDSL v1 modems at the customer premises.
For example, PCs that are not connected to the same physical Ethernet LAN can now
take advantage of the resources of the primary office computer. With the Microsoft
Windows operating system, multiple end-user systems can share resources, including:
 File sharing
 Print sharing
 Secondary computer backup
To enable the sharing of resources and review security considerations, see Microsoft’s
Web site at www.microsoft.com.
In this example of HomeLink, the PC in the family room could use the office printer.
Increasing the Number of End-User Systems
A single end-user system is attached to the Hotwire 6310 ReachDSL v1 Modem by
using an Ethernet crossover cable. To increase the number of end-user systems,
connect all the PCs to an Ethernet hub using a straight-through cable.
On one line, the ReachDSL v1 system provides the capability to use up to four Hotwire
6310 ReachDSL v1 modems and 32 end-user systems in any combination.
