Installing Network Tip and Ring Connections
DSL cards connect to the network through connectors mounted on the back of the
Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM chassis. Each slot has its own 50-pin connector wired
to it and is capable of supporting high-density cards with up to 25 ports.
The network Tip and Ring cables must be equipped with end-fed plug connectors.
Each connector has a captive screw at one end and a tapped hole in the plastic at
the other end. The connector’s captive screw must be replaced with a shorter one
supplied with the chassis. You can attach the cable to the chassis using the cable
ties provided or you can use the locking pivot brackets provided. See Connecting
a DSL Card Using Locking Pivot Brackets on page 3-4.
EMI NOTICE:
In order to maintain compliance with Part 15, FCC Rules and other EMI
requirements, certain TDM SDSL port cards require the installation of
the supplied ferrite choke on the 50-pin telephone network cable where it
connects to the GranDSLAM. The choke (Part No. 175-0018-0031) and its
installation instructions are provided with the port cards.
