Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router Overview
The Hotwire®6351 ReachDSL™Router is a component in the Hotwire ReachDSL
System that interoperates with Hotwire 8312 and 8314 ReachDSL cards in the Digital
Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) system.
The ReachDSL Router operates as an IP router, connecting a DSL link to an Ethernet
network to provide high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access over traditional
twisted-pair copper telephone wiring. ReachDSL technology operates over existing
copper wire with existing telephone jacks to provide adaptive data rates, and to
dynamically adapt and allocate bandwidth to optimize applications.

2
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.
The ReachDSL Router does not require a POTS splitter at the demarcation point to
support line sharing by data and voice services. Standard phone wiring is used for
connection to the router.
For optimum performance, if the wiring for the router is also used for voice (POTS), a
phone filter should be installed on each voice line with a phone, modem, fax machine, or
other telecommunications device attached. One Hotwire phone filter can be used with
multiple telecommunications devices (e.g., a phone and fax machine can be supported
using a single filter, as shown by the 6035 phone filter in the example in
Phone Filters on
page 3).
NOTE:
In this document:
—A telephone is used to represent any equipment that plugs into a phone jack
and uses the POTS line, such as a phone, modem, or fax machine.
—End-user system is used to represent any host with an Ethernet connection
and ReachDSL-based service.
—RJ11 wall jack is used to represent either an RJ11 or RJ14 wall jack. The RJ14
wall jack is used for a phone with two lines.
—Service provider is used to represent any Internet Service Provider (ISP) or
remote LAN provider.

Troubleshooting
LED Symptom Action
All LEDs are on. If the LEDs remain on for more than ten minutes, the router
is not functional. Contact the service provider.
ALM LED remains on. The power-on self-test may have failed. Unplug the router
and reapply power. If the alarm LED is still on, contact the
service provider.
ALM and TST LEDs
are blinking. A firmware download may be in progress. If a firmware download is not in progress, or if the LEDs continue blinking
for more than ten minutes, contact the service provider.
DSL LED is off. Verify that the DSL cable is securely installed on both ends.
If the problem continues, 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 cable is installed. Refer to Step 2 on
page 5 of
Installing the Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router .
LINE LED is off. Verify that the DSL LINE cable is securely installed on both
ends. If the problem continues, contact the service provider.
On lines with POTS, verify that the line has dial tone (loops
without POTS do not have dial tone). If there is no dial tone
on the POTS line, contact the service provider.
LINE LED is on but
there is no data
transmission.
The DSL link has been established but no data is being
transmitted. Verify the Ethernet connection. If the problem
persists, contact the service provider.
LINE and Ethernet
LEDs are on and there
is no data transmission.
Both the DSL and Ethernet links have been established, but
no data is being transmitted. 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 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 that the PWR LED is
functioning. If the problem persists, contact the service
provider.
TST LED is on. A test initiated by the service provider may be active. Wait
ten minutes. If the TST LED does not go off, contact the
service provider.

Configuration Setup
The Console connection is optional, used to locally configure the router. Refer to Step 3
on page 6 of Installing the Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router for details.
The Console cable is connected to a VT100-compatible terminal or PC running a
terminal emulation program. Verify the terminal settings:
 Data rate is set to 19.2 kbps (19200 bps).
 Character length is set to 8.
 Parity is set to None.
 Stop bits is set to 1.
 Flow control is set to Off or None.
Accessing the Router
When the local console connection is first established, access control to the DSL router
displays an initial prompt of Login>.
Procedure
1. At the initial prompt of Login>, enter the factory default Login ID of paradyne.
2. At the password> prompt, enter the factory default Password of abc123.
3. At the next prompt for System ID, the factory default is CUSTOMER>.
Type show system to display hardware/firmware information and Selftest Results
(optional).
Refer to the
Hotwire DSL Routers User’s Guide for configuration settings and command
line entries.
Increasing the Number of End-User Systems
A single PC is attached to the router by using an Ethernet crossover cable.
The router can support differing numbers of end-user systems, depending on the
functions that are enabled and traffic loading. Typical configurations provide support for
up to 32, 64, or 256 hosts (end-user systems).
To increase the number of PCs, connect all PCs to an Ethernet hub using a
straight-through cable. The number of end-user systems can be increased with the use
of subnets utilizing static addressing or by using a default gateway connection.

Cables and Connectors
Refer to Installing the Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router on page 5 for cabling installation
details.
Use a CAT3, or better, cable for the DSL line.

Optional Wall Placement
The Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router is designed for tabletop placement. The router can
also be mounted on a wall. To mount the router, you will need:
❑Three #6 pan-head screws with anchors (e.g., molly bolts, plastic or lead anchors)
❑Drill, and the correct size drill bit for the anchors
❑Screwdriver
A template with the dimensions for the three screws is provided. See ReachDSL Router
Hardware Template
on page 15.
Procedure
To mount the router:
1. Drill the correct size hole for the anchors and install them. Use the template to
gauge their placement.
2. Screw the pan-head screws into the installed anchors. Do not make them flush with
the wall. Leave enough clearance to hang the router housing from the screws.
Refer to
Installing the Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router on page 5 to install the cables.
