the following components:
H Hotwire DSLAM chassis
H MCC card
H DSL cards
In addition, optional POTS splitters can be installed at the CO. For information

Hotwire DSLAM Chassis
There are two types of chassis:
H Hotwire 8600 DSLAM chassis
The Hotwire 8600 DSLAM is a low-cost alternative to the Hotwire
8800 DSLAM. The 8600 DSLAM is an independent, standalone system. A
stackable design provides for up to six 8600 DSLAMs to share management
access through a single MCC card. In a stacked configuration, the first or
base chassis is equipped with an MCC card in Slot 1, leaving Slots 2 and 3
available for up to two DSL cards with a maximum of eight DSL ports. Each
additional chassis houses up to three DSL cards. This stacking capability
allows you to incrementally expand your DSL access service.
