Document Number 5620-A2-GN10-30
December 1998
Before You Begin
The Hotwire5620 RTU (Remote Termination Unit) interoperates with the Hotwire
8510 DSL Card in the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) system.
An optional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) splitter is available for the Hotwire
5620 RTU. When a POTS splitter is installed, the telephone and 5620 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:

Package Checklist
Verify that your package contains the following:
-Model 5620 Remote Termination Unit (RTU)
-DSL interface cable with RJ11 connectors
-Power cord with power transformer
-Two ferrite chokes
What Does the Hotwire RADSL RTU Do?
The Hotwire 5620 RTU is a component in the Hotwire DSL Access System. This
system provides high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access over traditional
twisted-pair copper telephone wiring.
A POTS splitter blocks out the DSL signal and allows the POTS frequencies to pass
through. At the customer premises, the RADSL RTU and a telephone can function
simultaneously over the same pair of copper wires when either:
HA Hotwire 5030 or 5038 POTS Splitter is installed near the demarcation point for all
telephones on the same POTS line as DSL,
or
HA Hotwire 5038 Distributed POTS Filter is installed on each telephone on the same
POTS line as DSL.
DSL Access with a Hotwire 5030 or 5038 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).
The Hotwire 5030 POTS splitter is designed for outdoor or indoor installation. The
Hotwire 5038 POTS Splitter is designed for indoor use only.
When a Hotwire 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.
NOTES:
— End-user system is used to represent any PC with an Ethernet connection and
DSL-based service.
— Network Service Provider (NSP) is used to represent any Internet Service
Provider (ISP) or remote LAN access provider.

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.
!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 17.
2. Disconnect the DSL access pair from the local loop. A punchdown block is used
without a POTS splitter in the following example.

Optional RTU Wall Placement
The Hotwire 5620 RTU is designed for tabletop placement. The RTU can also be
mounted on a wall. To mount an RTU, you will need:
-Three slotted-head #6 self-threading screws with molly bolts
-Drill and 3/16Idrill bit for the molly bolts
-Screwdriver
A template with the dimensions for the three screws is provided. See RTU Hardware
Template on page 12.
"Procedure
To mount the RTU:
1. Use a drill to install the plastic anchors (molly bolts).
2. Use a screwdriver to install the screws. Do not install the screws flush with the
wall. Leave enough clearance to hang the RTU housing from the screws.

Troubleshooting
LED Symptom Action
All LEDs are on. The RTU may be in download mode. Wait ten minutes.
If LEDs remain on after ten minutes and the RTU is not in
download mode, the RTU is not functional. Contact the NSP.
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 NSP.
ALM and TST
LEDs are on. Firmware download may be in progress. If firmware download is not in progress or the LEDs remain on after ten minutes,
contact the NSP.
DSL LED is off. Verify that the DSL cable is securely installed on both ends. If
the problem continues, contact the NSP.
DSL LED continues
to blink after the
power-on self-test.
The RTU is attempting to establish the DSL link or is adjusting
the rate of the DSL line due to line conditions. If the DSL LED
continues to blink for more than five minutes, contact the NSP.
DSL 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 NSP.
DSL and Ethernet
LEDs are on and
there is no data
transmission.
The DSL and Ethernet links have been established but there is
no data transmission. If the problem continues, contact the
NSP.
Ethernet LED is off. Verify that the Ethernet 10BaseT 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 5620 RTU, page 8.
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 NSP.
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 NSP may be active. Wait five minutes.
If the TST LED does not go off, contact the NSP.
Increasing the Number of End-User Systems
A single PC is attached to the Hotwire 5620 RTU using an Ethernet crossover cable. To
increase the number of PCs, connect all PCs to an Ethernet hub using a
straight-through cable. The Hotwire 5620 RTU can support up to 32 PCs. Verify any
planned changes with the NSP.

1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or
included in the manual.
2. 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.
3. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the product
where persons will walk on the power cord.
4. 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.
5. General purpose cables are used with this product for connection to the network.
Special cables, which may be required by the regulatory inspection authority for
the installation site, are the responsibility of the customer. Use a UL Listed, CSA
certified, minimum No. 24 AWG line cord for connection to the Digital Subscriber
Line (DSL) network.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Input power to this product must be provided by one of the following: (1) a UL
Listed/CSA certified power source with a Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS)
output for use in North America, or (2) a certified transformer, with a Safety Extra
Low Voltage (SELV) output having a maximum 240 VA available, for use in the
country of installation.
9. In addition, since 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 uninsulated 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
