CO POTS Splitter Installation Guide

CO POTS Splitter Installation Guide

Product Numbers: PS-6200-1-16NA and PS-6200-2-16NA

This document, which is for use by telephone company personnel, describes the installation of the Central Office (CO) POTS (plain old telephone service) splitter. The CO POTS splitter can be used with the Cisco 6200 digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM).

1. Document Contents

The following sections are included in this configuration note:

2. Product Description

The CO POTS splitter is a set of filters packaged in an enclosure (chassis). It is suitable for use in a central office (CO) Main Distribution Frame (MDF).

The CO POTS splitter

There are 8 circuit boards with 2 ports per board for a total of 16 splitter filters in the CO POTS splitter chassis (see Figure 1).


Note The connectors on the chassis are customer-specified. Please contact your POTS splitter provider with your specific requirements.

Figure 1: CO POTS Splitter


The CO POTS splitter also contains a safety protection circuit that meets GR-1089-CORE safety requirements.

Caution This safety protection circuit is fused. Extremely hazardous situations can result in a blown fuse, causing failure of the POTS splitter.

The CO POTS splitter comes as a wire-wrap version (PS-6200-1-16NA). A punch-down version (PS-6200-2-16NA) also can be ordered.

Each CO POTS splitter has a protective front cover, which snaps on and off easily, and shields connections from wire clippings and other debris. Jumper wires are routed through front and rear fanning strips. The front slots are aligned with the wire-dressing channels between terminal rows. This allows rapid cross-connect wire identification and promotes orderly dressing.

In a typical deployment, the CO POTS splitter is located in the DSL service provider's CO. Copper loops enter the CO in bundles, terminating at the MDF. The provider extends the ADSL tip/ring wire pairs to the horizontal distribution frame (HDF) where the CO POTS splitter, which splits the voice and ADSL traffic, is mounted. The voice pairs are wired from the CO splitter to the CO switch. The ADSL pairs are wired from the CO splitter to the DSLAM (see Figure 2).

3. List of Parts for Mounting

The following mounting hardware is provided with each CO POTS splitter:

4. Installation and Replacement

The CO POTS splitter is typically located in an HDF within a CO MDF. The following sections describe the installation and replacement procedures for the CO POTS splitter.

4.1 CO POTS Splitter Chassis Dimensions

4.2 Installing the CO POTS Splitter Chassis


Note The mounting bracket is a customer-specified type. The instructions in this document are for a generic mounting procedure. Contact your Cisco representative for more information.

To install the CO POTS splitter chassis in an HDF within the MDF, follow these steps:


Step 1   Install the mounting bracket on a frame by placing it horizontally or vertically with one of the arrows in an up position (see Figure 3).


Figure 3: Installing the Mounting Bracket


Step 2   Place the chassis on the top lip of the bracket (see Figure 4).

Step 3   Rotate the chassis inward until it is flat against the mounting bracket (see Figure 4).

Step 4   Lock the chassis into place by pushing the L-bracket up and tightening the L-bracket screws (see Figure 4).


Figure 4: Positioning and Locking the Chassis


This completes the installation procedure.

4.3 Removing and Replacing Filter Cards

The CO POTS splitter's filter cards are field replaceable units (FRUs). To remove and replace a filter card in the CO POTS splitter, follow these steps.


Note To prevent interruption of POTS service during card replacement, connect the POTS Tip to LINE Tip and the POTS Ring to LINE Ring.

Step 1   Pry down the tabs that are on the bottom of the chassis, using a flat blade screwdriver (see Figure 5).


Figure 5: Prying the Chassis Tabs


Step 2   Remove the wiring protective cover (located on top of the chassis) with a flat blade screwdriver (see Figure 6).


Figure 6: Removing the Wiring Protective Cover


Step 3   Open the unit by pushing the front panel of the chassis upward and sliding the top of the panel into the slots at the top of the chassis (see Figure 7).


Figure 7: Opening the Chassis


Step 4   Replace the card by performing the following tasks (see Figure 8):


Figure 8: Replacing the Card


Step 5   Replace the top cover when the installation is complete.

This completes the card removal and replacement procedure.

4.4 Removing and Replacing the Front Cover

To remove and replace the front cover of a CO POTS splitter, follow these steps:


Step 1   Partially open the cover and press down on the open end of one hinge to unsnap it from the hinge pin.

Step 2   While holding the cover partially open, rotate it down to unsnap the other hinge.

Step 3   To replace the cover, hold it in a partially open position and press up against the bottom of each hinge to snap it into each pin.

This completes the front cover removal and replacement procedure.

4.5 Connecting Cisco 6200 to CO POTS Splitter Chassis

To connect a Cisco 6200 DSLAM subscriber line card (SLC) to the CO POTS splitter chassis, use the following steps.


Note These connection instructions are for example only. Your wiring configuration may be different.

Step 1   Locate a 25-pair cable of the desired length that has a female Champ connector attached to it.

Step 2   Confirm that the female Champ connector is wired according to the color coded pin assignments specified in Appendix A of the Cisco 6200 User Guide.

Step 3   Connect the female end of the cable to the desired slot connector on the back of the Cisco 6200 chassis.

Step 4   Fan out the twisted pairs on the non-Champ end of the cable.

Step 5   Wire the individual twisted pairs directly to the xDSL (DSL collective technologies) wire wrap pins on the POTS splitter. Use the wiring information in Table 1 and Table 2.

Step 6   Connect each subscriber's POTS tip/ring pair to the CO switch.

Step 7   Connect each subscriber's line tip/ring pair to the appropriate outside loop for that subscriber.

For board No. 1, use Table 1, performing Steps 1 to 7.
