Hotwire 5446 RTU Setup Overview
The Hotwire 5446 RTU supports various customer premises distribution networks
that contain IP forwarding devices or routers, in addition to locally attached hosts
or subnets. The Hotwire 5446 RTU has an IP Routing Table that is updated
through an SNMP agent. The configuration table contains IP address and subnet
mask information.
The network service provider for the 5446 RTU provisions the IP address
information into the 5446 RTU’s configuration table. The 8546 DSL card
interoperates with the 5446 RTU. An NMS communicates via SNMP to Get or Set
objects within the SNMP agent’s control to update the IP configuration table. The
5446 RTU supports MIB objects relative to their RFC description.
For more information about the Hotwire 5446 RTU installation, see the Hotwire
5446 RTU Customer Premises Installation Instructions.
The 5446 RTU includes support for next hop routers and a default gateway. The
following IP Routing Table Example, Figure C-1, includes connections using
hubs. A host (end-user system) or router can also be connected directly to a
5446 RTU by using an Ethernet crossover cable.
