STEP 6: CONNECTING AC POWER

To power the ERE-811-L5 from an AC power source, insert the AC power cord into the power
cord connector on the ERE-811-L5 rear panel. Plug the other end of the power cord into a
source of 100 to 240 volt, 50 or 60 Hz AC power.
CAUTION

xDSL Card

Captive Screw

With AC power connected, the internal AC to DC converter is always

operating. Do not insert anything other than a WD92xGx, LTU or UTU into
the ERE-811-L5 card slot.

STEP 7: INSTALLING AN XDSL CARD IN THE ERE-811-L5 ENCLOSURE

Once the enclosure is correctly wired, you can install a WD92xGx, LTU-80x or UTU xDSL
card. Each xDSL card requires a jumper setting that may differ from card to card. To make
the proper jumper setting, see the documentation that came with the WD92xGx, LTU or UTU
xDSL card.

ATTENTION

xDSL cards contain static-sensitive components. Be sure to wear an

antistatic wrist strap connected to ground when performing the
installation procedures.

After setting the jumper on the xDSL card, install it in the enclosure as follows:
Step

Action

Align the xDSL card with the guide rails at the left and right sides of the enclosure
opening (Figure 4).

Push the card into the enclosure until its front panel is flush with the front of the
enclosure.

Secure the xDSL card to the enclosure with the two captive screws on the card
front panel.

Captive Screw

Figure 4. Installing an xDSL Card in the ERE-811-L5 Enclosure

STEP 8: POWERING AN XDSL CARD IN THE ERE-811-L5 ENCLOSURE

WD92xGL cards are always locally powered by a nominal -48 Vdc if using the line/span
powering feature. LTU cards are always locally powered by a nominal -48 Vdc. This local
power is supplied either by the integrated AC-to-DC converter in the ERE-811-L5 or by an
externally connected DC power supply. WD92xGL cards contain circuitry that can deliver
120 Vdc or 160 Vdc over one or both G.SHDSL loops to a remote WD92xGN, WDU-940-L1
G.SHDSL doubler or ETU-92x. Remote WD92xGN cards can be locally powered or line
powered by a WD92xGL card. LTU-80x cards contain circuitry that can deliver 120 Vdc at up
to 60 mA over both xDSL loops to a remote NTU. For information about powering the specific
cards you are using, see the appropriate WD92xGx, LTU, NTU or UTU User Manual.
CAUTION

Do not operate the ERE-811-L5 enclosure with the cover removed.

Hazardous voltages are present.

UTUs must be locally powered and they do not provide line power to other units.
Power may be applied simultaneously to both the AC and DC inputs on the
ERE-811-L5. These sources are diode ORed on the line card; if one power source
fails, the second power source continues to provide power.
If line power is present at the ERE-811-L5, ADC recommends that you do not supply
local power to the unit to maintain proper operation.
