The Hotwire 5246 RTU is designed for small office or home office (SOHO)
applications and supports up to 32 end-user systems with a LAN. The Hotwire
5246 supports full speed DSL line rates and filters local LAN traffic from
traversing the DSL link by incorporating learning bridge functionality.
The following illustration shows the 5246 RTU with its 10BaseT interface
connected to multiple end-user systems (typically a PC or workstation with a LAN
card) via an Ethernet 10BaseT hub.
