Hotwire 6371 RADSL Router Overview
The Hotwire®6371 RADSL (Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line) Router is a
component in the Hotwire DSL Access system, which interoperates with Hotwire 8373,
8374, and 8510 RADSL line cards in the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer) system.
The router operates as an IP router, connecting a DSL link to an Ethernet network to
providehigh-speed Internet or corporateLAN access over traditional twisted-pair copper
telephone wiring. Copper pairs run from the central office to the customer premises 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).

NOTE:
In this document:
—End-user system is used to represent any host with an Ethernet connection.
—Service provider is used to represent any Internet Service Provider (ISP) or
remote Local Area Network (LAN) provider.
DSL Access with an Optional Hotwire 5030 POTS Splitter
An optional Hotwire 5030 POTS (plain old telephone service) Splitter can be installed to
block out the DSL signal and allow POTS frequencies to pass through. At the customer
premises, the DSL router and a telephone can function simultaneously over the same
pair of copper wires when a POTS splitter is installed near the demarcation point for all
telephones on the same POTS line as DSL.
When a Hotwire 5030 POTS Splitter is used at both ends of the local loop, wiring is
connected at the customer premises:
 From the demarcation point to the CP POTS splitter, and
 From the demarcation point to the DSL jack.

DSL Access without a POTS Splitter
When the router is installed without a POTS splitter, the DSL line is used for data only;
it does not provide telephone services.
Phone Filters
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 (for example, a phone and fax machine can be
supported using a single filter) if a multiple line adapter is used.

configuring the router remotely. Refer to
Connecting to a VT100 Terminal or PC
(Optional) on page 12 to connect the router to a terminal or PC.
For local configuration, verify the following terminal or PC 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 RADSL
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>.
Optionally, enter show system to display hardware/firmware information and
Selftest Results.
Refer to the
Hotwire DSL Routers User’s Guide for configuration settings and command
line entries.
Increasing the Number of End-User Systems
The router can support differing numbers of end-user systems, depending upon the
functions that are enabled and traffic loading. Typical configurations provide support for
up to 32, 64, or 256 hosts (end-user systems).
An Ethernet crossover cable is used when a single PC is connected to the router. To
increase the number of PCs, connect all PCs to an Ethernet hub using a straight-
through cable. Increase the number of end-user systems by using subnets that utilize
static addressing, or by using a default gateway connection.
Refer to
Connecting the Ethernet Cable on page 11 to connect the router to multiple
end-user systems or a single PC.
