2. ION-E System Overview 6. Note: For a Class A digital device or peripheral:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to EN55022 and part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. 7 interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Note: This unit complies with European standard EN60950. 2. ION-E System Overview The ION-E is a unified wireless infrastructure platform defined around IT based architecture. It brings together licensed wireless and power, plus Gigabit Ethernet for Wi-Fi into one wireless network that can scale to building size and is technology and spectrum agnostic and adaptive. e Central Area Node (CAN): Server-level control and primary signal distribution. 2U and 4U subrack options are available. e Transport Expansion Node (TEN): The secondary distribution point connected to a CAN using multimode or single mode fiber. e Universal Access Point (UAP): data and power through Category 6A twisted pair cabling. Supports gigabit Ethernet for WiFi, IP cameras, or other devices in addition to wireless over a common cable. MM CAN cle Wit) UAP i TEN Gm IP Camera MA/SM Fiber
= Cat 6A 2.1. ION-E Components Overview he WCS-4 is a 4U subrack. It is typically used as a CAN but can also serve as a TEN. he WCS-2 is a 2U subrack. It is typically used as a TEN, but can also serve as a CAN. he System User Interface card provides local and LAN Ethernet connections and a USB port. he RF Donor card is the interface for RF signals between the CAN and the BTS or eNode-B. Each of its four ports (QMA F) simultaneously ransmits and receives signals. o The OPtical Transport card provides a 10 Gb fiber connection between a CAN and a TEN. Each card supports up to four SFP+ modules. The Copper Transport card provides 10 Gb Cat6A connections between the CAN or TEN and the UAP. The cards also supply the PoE to the UAPs. Page 4 M0201A0B_UC Users Manual for ION-E 2. ION-E System Overview COMMSCGOPE he Auxiliary Unit Transport card provides a 1 Gb pass-through connection between the CAN or TEN and the UAP for Wi-Fi, IP cameras, or other 1 Gb Ethernet devices. he Baseband Interface Transceiver card provides the fiber interface to BBU ports. Up to six BBU port connections per card are supported. he Power Supply subrack houses two 12 Vdc and two 57 Vdc modules to supply power to the WCS subracks, UAPs, and connected devices. he 12 Vdc modules plug into the power supply subrack to provide 12 Vdc power to the WCS and e-POl subracks. he 57 Vdc modules plug into the power supply subrack to provide 57 Vdc mm power for the UAP and other PoE devices connected to a WCS subrack. v qa he Universal Access Point, which is connected to the system via Cat6A cabling, supports 380 to 2700 Mz. It also supports 1G pass-through or an (=
additional UAP through a second RJ45 jack. he Fan tray and Filter modules cool the WCS and all of its cards. One fan tray is used for a WCS-2. Two trays are used for a WCS-4. The e-POl subrack supports up to 8 e-PO! modules and an IFC module. The e-POI (Point of Interface) card is a low PIM attenuator. It reduces high power RF signals from their source by 30 dB to interface to the RFD cards. The IFC (Interface Card) is used to set the subrack number of the e-POl subrack. It also provides a status LED for each of the e-POI modules in the subrack. 2.2. UAP Ceiling Mounting The UAP is equipped with a grounding screw located in the center of the unit, however, grounding is not required as UAPs are classified as low-voltage devices and do not have internal power supplies. CommScope recommends checking your local and national electrical codes to determine if grounding is a requirement.

This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.

Channel Detection Detect Channels Manual Scan ION-E requires detection of all signals that will be distributed. This ensures that the user will always know what signals are being distributed by the system. The measurement receiver automatically scans and detects available channels. However, to optimize system efficiency, running user-defined manual scans for each connected RF port is strongly recommended. Specifying the band for a port will reduce the required scan time. To run a manual channel scan:
