Hotwire DSL System Description 1 What is the Hotwire DSL System? The Hotwire® Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) system is a set of central site products that terminate and consolidate packet data traffic from many customers in a serving area. The DSL card(s) then forwards the traffic to one or more network access provider networks. High-speed Internet and intranet access is either bridged or routed on the DSL line cards and multiplexed over backbone networks.
1. Hotwire DSL System Description The following illustration shows a typical configuration for a Hotwire 8820 GranDSLAM chassis.
1. Hotwire DSL System Description Hotwire DSL System Components The DSL system consists of a chassis that houses a Management Communications Controller (MCC) card and up to 18 DSL cards. The Hotwire 8620 and 8820 GranDSLAM chassis can also house a Shelf Concentration Module (SCM) card, depending on the application. See the Hotwire Shelf Concentration Module (SCM) Card User’s Guide for more information.
1. Hotwire DSL System Description SCM Card The Shelf Concentration Module (SCM) card aggregates DSL traffic for the Hotwire 8620 and 8820 and GranDSLAM chassis. The operation and configuration of this card is not within the scope of this document. See the Hotwire Shelf Concentration Module (SCM) Card User’s Guide for more information. DSL Chassis DSL cards can reside in four types of chassis: 8600/8610 DSLAM A 3-slot chassis with Ethernet uplink.

5. Diagnostics and Troubleshooting High-Level Troubleshooting The following high-level procedures help you isolate problems to a particular segment of the network. For static clients, make sure the client can Ping its own IP address. This confirms the IP address was successfully accepted by the client computer. Make sure the client’s default gateway is the same as the IP address for the Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI) on the appropriate ISP router.
5. Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Client Cannot Ping the Gateway Router When the client cannot Ping the gateway router, specific fault-isolation procedures begin with the first network segment, client-to-service node (SN).
5. Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Client Cannot Reach Service Node Table 5-4. Client-to-Service Node Segment Layer Solution Layer 1 – Physical 1. Make sure the PWR LED on the front of the Service Node is lit. Use only the power adapter shipped with the unit. 2. To verify connection to the client, make sure the ETHERNET LED on the front of the Service Node is lit. 3. Make sure there is a physical connection between the Service Node and the Network Interface Card (NIC).
5. Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Client Cannot Reach DSL Card(s) This section examines the Service Node-to-DSL card segment of the network. NOTE: On the DSL card, verify that the DSL link is up and that there is a MAC address for the client (screen B-E-B). — If the MAC address appears, and all items in the previous section have been examined, it is safe to assume that this network segment is functioning. Skip this section and go to Table 5-6, AN-to-IPC Segment.
