Installation Instructions
Document Number 5446-A2-GN10-20
October 1997
Before You Begin
An optional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) splitter is available for the 5446 RTU.
When a POTS splitter is installed, the telephone and 5446 RADSL (Rate Adaptive
Digital Subscriber Line) RTU can function at the same time over the same pair of
copper wires. In order to confirm the RTU installation, the POTS splitter should be
installed first. To install a POTS splitter, refer to the appropriate POTS splitter document:

Installation Instructions
5034-A2-GN10 HotWire 5034 Indoor POTS Splitter Customer Premises
Installation Instructions
After the RTU is installed and powered on, there are additional requirements in order to
utilize the DSL and Ethernet connections. Refer to
5446 RTU IP Setup , page 13.

What Does the HotWire RADSL RTU Do?
The 5446 RTU is a component in the DSL Access System. This system provides
high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access over traditional twisted-pair copper
telephone wiring.
DSL Access with a POTS Splitter
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 in a punchdown block or network interface device (NID).
When a POTS splitter is used at both ends of the local loop, wiring is connected:
HFrom the demarcation point to the CP POTS splitter, and
HFrom the demarcation point to the DSL jack.

DSL Access without a POTS Splitter
When the 5446 RTU is installed without a POTS splitter, a second telephone wiring pair
is needed for DSL access.

Installing the DSL Access Wiring
The local loop terminates at the punchdown block or NID. Wiring must be connected
from the customer premises side of the punchdown block or the NID to the DSL jack.
Typically, the punchdown block is installed in commercial locations and the NID is
installed in residential locations.
"Procedure
1. Access the punchdown block or NID. Disconnect the DSL access pair from the
local loop.
!WARNING:
Do not continue unless the DSL access line from the local loop has been
disconnected at the NID or punchdown block. Refer to Important Safety
Instructions,
page 16.

Green (T1) and red (R1) are the standard wiring colors used in the next two
illustrations.
In the next example, a NID is used without a POTS splitter. It includes an existing
POTS line and a second pair installed for DSL access. The pair for the POTS line
does not need to be disconnected unless a POTS splitter is going to be installed.

2. Locate the DSL pair of T1/R1 connectors on the customer premises side of the NID
or punchdown block. Attach the wiring that will be connected to the DSL jack.
Tighten both terminal screws with a flat-blade screwdriver.

DSL Jack Installation
The RTU connects to the local loop via wiring from the demarcation point to an RJ11
wall jack. The DSL twisted-pair wiring from the local loop terminates at a new or existing
wall jack. It may be necessary to install a standard single RJ11 jack or replace a single
jack with a double RJ11 jack.
The RJ11 6-pin jack uses the center two pins. For pin assignments, refer to
Cables &
Connectors
, page 14.

cable as closely as possible
to the RTU. Pass the
Ethernet cable through
the ferrite choke twice,
creating a loop as shown.
4. Close the two halves
around the cable and
snap the ferrite choke
shut. Press down on the
plastic latch to secure
the ferrite choke in place
