About the Hotwire 7984
Standalone Termination Unit
1
M/HDSL Overview
Hotwiret Multirate High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (M/HDSL) products
maximize customer service areas by varying the DSL line rate. This ensures
symmetric DSL connectivity over a wide range of telephone line distances and
transmission line qualities.
Hotwire products can transport at full (2.048 Mbps) or fractional payload rates
over a 4-wire, full-duplex circuit over varying distances based on the conditions of
the 4-wire loop. Examples include support for router, multiplexer and PBX
connections on 24 gauge (.5 mm) cable up to 21,000 feet (6.4 km).
Hotwire M/HDSL is equipped with an automatic configuration capability that
reduces the M/HDSL installation process to a simple plug and play mode. Simply
connecting the units to the line automatically configures the customer for the
maximum data rate supported by the local loop. M/HDSL units can also be
configured at fixed line speeds to achieve maximum distances.
Hotwire 7984 Termination Unit Features
The Hotwire 7984 M/HDSL Standalone Termination Unit is an endpoint for the
chassis-mounted Hotwire 8784 M/HDSL Termination Unit housed in the Hotwire
8600 or 8800 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM).
Two Hotwire 7984 M/HDSL Standalone Termination Units can also be configured
to operate in a central office LTU to customer premises NTU environment.
The 7984 Standalone Termination Unit offers these standard features:

Initiating an ATI Session
The Main Menu screen is displayed on the screen unless a login ID and
password is required or the ATI is already in use.
If the ATI is already in use, you will see a connection refused or
connection failed message (if you are using a Telnet session), or you will
see the IP address of the other user (if you are using the Management Serial
port).
If security is enabled on the 7984 Standalone Termination Unit and you used
Telnet to access it directly (you did not log in through the MCC), the system
prompts you for a login ID and password.

Send Remote Line Loopback
The local unit initiates this test by sending a line loopback up or down command
to the remote unit for 10 seconds. When the remote unit detects the loopback up
command, it puts itself in line loopback and lights the front panel test LED. The
remote unit remains in loopback until it receives a loopback down command or
the remote unit’s test timeout value is exceeded. The send line loopback tests
both units. External equipment can be used to verify the link.

Resetting the Termination Unit’s COM Port or
Factory Defaults
Misconfiguring the termination unit could render the user interface inaccessible,
leaving it in a state where a session cannot be started via the COM port or a
Telnet session. If this occurs, the termination unit connectivity can be restored via
a terminal directly connected to the COM port.
Two methods can be used to restore access to the user interface:
H
H
Reset COM Port – Allows you to reset the configuration options related to
COM port usage. This also causes a device reset, where the termination unit
performs a Device Self-Test. No security-related configuration options are
changed.
Reload Factory Defaults – Allows you to reload the Default Factory
Configuration, resetting all of the configuration and control settings which
causes the current configuration to be destroyed and a device reset. This
method is also useful when the user’s password(s) have been forgotten.
" Procedure
To reset COM port settings:
1. At the terminal that is directly connected to the unit’s COM port, configure the
terminal to operate at 9.6 kbps, using character length of 8 bits, with one
stop-bit, and no parity.
2. Reset the unit, then immediately and repeatedly press Enter at a rate of
about 1 press per second until the System Paused screen appears.
3. Tab to the desired method, and enter yes (or y) for the selected prompt.

Selecting an IP Addressing Scheme
The NTU’s network interface IP address is assigned through the peer IP address
of the LTU’s Network Interface menu. The NTU obtains the LTU’s IP address
when the PPP link is established over the EOC. The LTU IP address and subnet
mask are configured from the Communication Protocol Options menu.
The 7984 Standalone Termination Unit is assigned an IP address through the
Peer IP address of the M/HDSL Network interface menu. The 7984 Standalone
Termination Unit can also be assigned an IP address and subnet mask for the
COM port. Once an address is assigned, you can manage the 7984 Standalone
Termination Unit’s ATI to assign an:
