DSL Access with a Hotwire 5030 POTS Splitter
An optional POTS (plain old telephone service) splitter can be installed to block out the 
DSL signal and allow the POTS frequencies to pass through. At the customer premises, 
the Hotwire 5620 RTU and a telephone can function simultaneously over the same pair 
of copper wires when a Hotwire 5030 POTS Splitter is installed near the demarcation 
point for all telephones on the same POTS line as DSL.
When a Hotwire 5030 POTS splitter is used at both ends of the local loop, wiring is 
connected:
„
From the demarcation point to the CP POTS splitter, and
„
From the demarcation point to the DSL jack.
The Hotwire 5030 POTS Splitter is designed for outdoor or indoor installation.
