IMPORTANT NOTE: The BRX-XLR-8 unit is powered from the Sealing Current found on a standard POTS pair.
The BRX-XLR-8 will not work on a dry pair (line with no sealing current). Each pair of the BRX-XLR-8 is
powered independently with each pair requiring the presence of the sealing DC Voltage for proper operation.
Grounding Lug
Step 1: Select the location where the BRX-XLR-8 will be inserted
using the BRX-XLR Calculator for the longest loop.
Step 2: Connect the grounding lug of the unit to a proper ground
(usually available near the splice point).
Step 3: Insert a BRX-BYPASS-TEST module in slot 1 and ensure
that both switches are in BYPASS mode.
Step 4: Connect the rst two (2) pairs to be amplied to the rst
two (2) pairs of the BRX-XLR-8. Make sure to match the DSLAM
pair number to the CPE pair number.
Step 5: Test for continuity between the DSLAM pair and CPE
pair at the splice point. If the circuits are active, the LEDs on the
BRX-BYPASS-TEST module will be ON to conrm that the sealing
current is present on both lines. If either circuit is not active, the
continuity testing will conrm that the connections are reliable.
Step 6: Replace the BRX-BYPASS-TEST module with a BRX-
XLR-M module.
Step 7: The DSLAM and CPE will now retrain the circuit and bring
up the ADSL2+ / ADSL link with the amplied bandwidth. Note
that the performance may be limited (or capped) by a setting in
the DSLAM conguration.
Step 8: Repeat steps 3 to 7 for the other three (3) slots of the
BRX-XLR-8 enclosure.
