Hotwire 6321/6322 IDSL Routers Overview
The Hotwirer6321 and 6322 ISDL (Integrated Services Digital Network Digital
Subscriber Line) Routers are components in the Hotwire DSLAM (Digital Subscriber
Line Access Multiplexer) system. Both Hotwire IDSL Routers interoperate with either
the Hotwire 8323 or 8324 IDSL Card:
HHotwire 6321 IDSL Router with one Ethernet port
HHotwire 6322 IDSL Router with a 4-port Ethernet hub
Both the Hotwire 6321 and the Hotwire 6322 IDSL Routers operate as an IP router
connecting a DSL link to an Ethernet network. The Hotwire IDSL packet-based system
provides high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access over a combination of traditional
twisted-pair copper telephone wiring and ISDN transport, such as T1 or fiber. These
products have three data channels that are configurable for a total of 144 kbps.

Package Checklist
Verify that your package contains the following:
-Model 6321 or Model 6322 IDSL Router
-DSL interface cable with RJ11 modular plugs
-Power cord with power transformer
Wiring and Cables Needed
You will need the following wiring and standard connectors with this product:
-Standard RJ11 wall jack for the DSL cabling.
-DSL cabling: New or existing unshielded twisted-pair wiring (CAT3 or better). The
CAT3 wiring must meet EIA/TIA-568 specifications with 24 AWG (.5 mm) or
26 AWG (.4 mm).
-Ethernet cabling: New or existing shielded twisted-pair wiring (CAT5 or better). The
CAT5 wiring must meet EIA/TIA-568 specifications with 24 AWG (.5 mm) or
26 AWG (.4 mm). A straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable is used.
Refer to Installing the Hotwire 6321/6322 IDSL Router on page 6 for cabling details.

Optional Cable
The Hotwire 6321/6322 IDSL Routers are typically configured remotely by the service
provider. The following optional cabling and adapter are only used with this product to
configure the router locally:
-Console cabling: Straight-through cable with 8-pin non-keyed modular plugs
(Part No. 035-0276-1431)
-Console adapter:
—8-pin modular to DB9 adapter plug (Part No. 002-0093-0031), or
—A configurable RJ to DB9 adapter wired as shown in Cables & Connectors
on page 13.
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 an RJ11 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 on page 18.
2. Disconnect the DSL access pair from the local loop. A punchdown block is used in
the following example.

3. 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.
Connecting to the DSL Access Wiring
The Hotwire 6321 or 6322 IDSL Router 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.

"Procedure
1. Wiring can be run from the punchdown block or NID to a new or existing wall jack.
Match the pair colors on both ends.
2. Label the DSL jack.
3. Reconnect the DSL access pair at the punchdown block or NID. Tighten both
terminal screws with a flat-blade screwdriver.
The RJ11 6-pin jack uses the center two pins. For pin assignments, refer to Cables &
Connectors on page 13.

Installing the Hotwire 6321/6322 IDSL Router
Place the Hotwire 6321/6322 IDSL Router on a flat surface with clearance for the rear
connectors.
NOTE:
The following illustrations show the Hotwire 6322 IDSL Router with a 4-port
Ethernet hub. The Hotwire 6321 IDSL Router is identical except that it has one
Ethernet port.
"Procedure
1. Use the RJ11 6-pin cable for the DSL connection. Insert one end of the cable into
the jack labeled DSL. Insert the other end into the wall jack labeled DSL.

If you are installing the Hotwire 6322 IDSL Router, go to page 8.
HFor a 6321 IDSL Router, use a straight-through cable to connect the other end
to an Ethernet hub. Do not connect a straight-through cable to the external
hub’s UPLINK connection (this connection requires a crossover cable).

The Hotwire 6321/6322 IDSL Router hardware installation is now complete. When the
power cord is installed, the IDSL router goes through a power-on self-test.
Power-On
When power is applied, the Hotwire 6321/6322 IDSL Router performs self-diagnostics
and the PWR LED is on. The self-diagnostics includes a power-on self-test. During the
power-on self-test, all of the LEDs turn on for one second.
