COMMSCGPE Mounting Cautions PP PRPPRP Attach all CAP Ls securely to a stationary object as described in this installation guide. Do not mount a passive-cooled CAP L (that is, does not have a Fan Kit) in a wall-mounted orientation with the fins running horizontally; this results in a reduced maximum operating temperature of 35C (95F). Only a CAP L with a Fan Kit can be ceiling mounted. A CAP L without a Fan Kit cannot be ceiling mounted due to thermal constraints when the fins are pointed downward. To maintain proper ventilation, keep at least 76 mm (3-inch) clearance around the CAP L. Do not stack CAP Ls on top of each other. Always mount the CAP L with the face containing the mounting holes against the mounting surface. Ifa passive-cooled CAP Lis floor mounted, the CAP L requires a minimum 203.2 mm (8-inch) clearance above the unit. The installation site must be able to bear the weight of the CAP L; see Table 7-5 on page 90. General Installation Safety Requirements Follow all of the installation cautions listed below and in "Mounting Cautions on page 95. PP PP Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm. This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain a minimum 8-inch (20 cm) clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Whenever possible, shut down the RAN before servicing the antenna. Do not remove caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so. ACAP Lwith a Copper Interface and External DC Power and a CAP L with a Copper Interface and Power Cat 6A Cable are not designed for outdoor installations. However, the antenna to which the Copper Interface units attach can be outdoors as long as suitable lightning-protection devices are used at the antenna site. Guard Against Damage from Electro-Static Discharge

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage, always wear an ESD wrist strap when working with the CAP L and when handling any of its components. Connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the CAP L or any of its components. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the CAP L and its components. COMMSCGPE Table 7-5. Maximum CAP L installation Weights*

M0201AA June 2017 CommScope, Inc. ION-E Series Hardware Installation Guide Page 5 ION-E Series System Overview ION-E SERIES 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 WiFi into one wireless system that can scale to building size and is technology and spectrum agnostic and adaptive. A basic ION-E system comprises the following main components, as shown in Figure 2-1. Central Area Node (CAN)provides server-level control and primary signal distribution. 2U and 4U subrack options are available. Transport Expansion Node (TEN)connects to a CAN using Multi-Mode or Single-Mode fiber as a secondary distribution point. 2U and 4U subrack options are available. Access Pointconnects CAN/TEN to antennas or other wireless devices, and can be any of the following. Universal Access Point (UAP)connects the CAN/TEN to an internal antenna; receives 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. UAP-Xconnects the CAN/TEN to an external antenna; otherwise functions the same as the standard UAP. Carrier Access Point, Low Power (CAP L)interfaces with the CAN/TEN via a CAT 6A cable, or via an optical link. On the downlink, the CAP L converts some or all of the data arriving at the CAP L to analog signals and sends them to the an antenna. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams which are sent back to the CAN/TEN. Each CAP L contains up to four transceiver paths for RF coverage. A WCS-2 and a WCS-4 can be configured for use as a CAN or a TEN. When the information in this guide applies to both configurations, the term CAN/TEN is used. When the information pertains to only one of the configurations, that configuration will be identified singularly as CAN or TEN. CAN TEN UAP WiFi IP Camera Cat6A MM/SM Fiber Figure 2-1. Basic ION-E System ION-E Series Hardware Installation Guide Page 6 M0201AA June 2017 CommScope, Inc. The information in this document guides you through the installation of a CommScope ION-E system, which supports the ION-E system components identified in Table 2-1 on page 8 (component graphics are not scaled to size). For information on how to find the minimum software requirements for ION-E hardware, refer to "Hardware to Software Mapping Information on page 129.

ION-E Series Hardware System Components Supported in this Manual Component WCS-4 SubrackCAN or TEN Description The WCS-4 Subrack is typically used as a CAN but can also serve as a TEN. WCS-2 SubrackTEN or CAN The WCS-2 Subrack is typically used as a TEN, but can also serve as a CAN. System User Interface Card (SUI) The SUI provides local and LAN Ethernet connections and a USB port. RF Donor Card (RFD) Optical Transport Card (OPT) Copper Transport Card (CAT) Auxiliary Unit Transport Card

(AUT) Power Supply Unit (PSU) 12 Vdc Power Module 57 Vdc Power Module UAP, UAP-N25 UAP-X CAP L Fan Module e-POI Subrack The RFD is the interface for RF signals between the CAN and the BTS or eNode-B. Its four QMA female ports simultaneously transmits and receives signals. The OPT provides a 10 Gb fiber connection between a CAN/TEN. Each OPT Card supports up to four SFP+ transceivers. The CAT Card provides 10 Gb Cat6A connections between the CAN/TEN and the UAP.1 CAT Cards also supply the remote power over Cat6A to the UAPs. Each CAT Card supports a maximum of six UAPs. The AUT Card provides a 1 Gb pass-through connection between the CAN/TEN and the UAP for WiFi, IP cameras, or other 1 Gb Ethernet devices

(and 100Mb devices in a future release). The PSU houses two 12 Vdc Power Modules and two 57 Vdc Power Modules, which supply power to the WCS subracks, UAPs, and connected devices. A 12 Vdc Module plugs into the Power Supply Subrack to provide 12 Vdc power to the WCS and e-POI subracks. A 57 Vdc Module plugs into the Power Supply Subrack to provide remote power over Cat6A for the UAP and devices connected to the UAP. The Universal Access Point (UAP), which is connected to the ION-E system via Cat6A cabling, uses its internal antennas to transmit and receive over-the-air signals. It also supports Ethernet backhaul or an additional UAP through a second RJ45 jack. The UAP-X is functionally identical to the UAP, but is designed to work with external antennas. A UAP-X has two QMA Female antenna ports that connect to external antennas, one each for Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX). Carrier Access Point, Low Power (CAP L) provides data and power through Copper, Single-Mode Fiber (SMF), or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF), and supports Gigabit Ethernet for WiFi, IP cameras, or other devices in addition to wireless over a common cable. The Fan Tray and Filter Modules cool the WCS and all of its Cards. An AWCS-2 requires one Fan Tray. A WCS-4 requires two Fan Trays. The e-POI Subrack supports up to eight e-POI RFMs and one IFC Module. Point of Interface Card

(e-POI RFM) The e-POI-RFM Card is a low PIM attenuator that reduces high power RF signals from their source by 30 dB to interface with the RFD Cards. Interface Card (IFC) The IFC is used to set the subrack number of the e-POI subrack. It also provides a Status LED for each of the e-POI Modules in the subrack. 1 Unless otherwise noted, the use of AP collectively refers to the UAP, UAP-X, UAP-N25, and CAPs.

LTE SISO) LTE MIMO Pair LTE MIMO Pair to/from BTS/eNode or e-POI If the signal levels of the BTS exceed the maximum input level of +27 dBm, an e-POI RF card or other suitable attenuator must be used to attenuate the signal. For optimum PIM performance, the composite level into a Donor (RFD Card) port should be less than 16 dBm. If only one carrier is in a band, PIM is probably not a concern. For the case of two or more carriers in a band, spurious intermods due to PIM could land in the UL causing interference.

Because the UAP's AUX port is configured to support a second UAP by default, there will be a delay before the Ethernet backhaul path at the AUT Card is ready to use when the device is initially connected. When an Ethernet device is connected to the AUX port of a UAP, ION-E detects the device, re-flashes the UAP to support the device, and then reboots the UAP. The UAP will perform the re-flash and reboot process whenever the UAP or Ethernet device connected to the AUX port is changed. The UAP's blue LED will blink while re-flashing without interrupting service, but the UAP will experience a short service interruption of approximately 1.5 minutes when it reboots. The AUT path is independent of the signal set assigned to a UAP, however, the maximum transport bandwidth for the UAP is reduced from 320 MHz to 280 MHz when an Ethernet device is connected to the UAP. The AUX port of a cascaded (secondary) UAP cannot be used to connect an Ethernet device. The AUT Card ports do not supply power, however, the UAP does supply Remote Power over Cat6A to connected Ethernet devices. 1 Gbit/s and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet devices are supported. ION-E Series Hardware Installation Guide Page 32 M0201AA June 2017 CommScope, Inc. Installing Subracks and PSUs in an Equipment Rack Figure 3-3 and Table 3-1 show the internal mapping between CAT Cards and AUT Cards. There is a specific relationship between the slot in which the CAT and AUT Cards are installed, and the CAT Card and AUT Card ports. For example:

The CAT Card slot/port combination of L1.1 always maps to AUT Card slot/port combination M1.1 The CAT Card slot/port combination L4.4 always maps to AUT Card slot/port combination M2.8. This internal mapping provides the Ethernet backhaul for Ethernet devices connected to the Ethernet ports on the AUT Card. Table 3-1.

ION-E Series Hardware Installation Guide Page 53 Installing UAPs Standard Ceiling Mount Overview The UAP is equipped with a grounding stud 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. Follow the guidelines shown in the following diagram when installing UAPs in the ceiling. Ceiling mount kits and wall mount kits are available. Install below ceiling grid only WiFi 3m min 2m min i t e n b a C l a t e M Collocated UAPs (MIMO) 3m min TEN UAP WiFi Cat6A MM/SM Fiber The UAP-X does not meet the UL2043 requirements for installation of powered equipment (without a fire enclosure) in air handling spaces. Installation of the UAP-X below the ceiling is recommended. If installation of the UAP-X above the ceiling is desired, it is the installer's responsibility to confirm that the installation complies with all local and national electrical, safety, and fire codes. In addition, if the UAP-X is mounted above the ceiling, the installer must ensure that sufficient space is maintained around the UAP-X for adequate cooling. Care must be taken when positioning the antennas connected to the UAP-X to ensure sufficient isolation between the TX and RX antennas. If frequencies below 512 MHz are used, the Ethernet signals in the Cat6A cables may cause RX interference. If signals below 512 MHz are used, then the RX antenna should be placed more than 6 meters from the UAP-X or more than 2 meters from the units if steps are taken to mitigate interference from the Cat6A cables. Please see the UAP-X Antenna Installation Guidelines document for more details. ION-E Series Hardware Installation Guide Page 54 M0201AA June 2017 CommScope, Inc.

Installing UAPs UAP, UAP-N25, and UAP-X Cable Requirements Cat6A cable is required for all connections between an CAT card and a UAP and for the jumpers between UAPs in cascade mode. The following cabling rules must be observed; see also Figure 6-2. Plenum rated cable must be used wherever it is required by local electrical codes. The minimum Cat6A cable wire size required for use with UAPs is 23 AWG (minimum EIA/TIA standards). 24 AWG is the minimum wire size allowed for short Cat6A patch cables or jumpers. The maximum CAT 6A cable length between a UAP and a CAN/TEN is 100 meters including all cables, jumpers, and patch panels. The maximum cable length to a cascaded UAP is also 100 meters, which includes the following:

the length of the Cat6A jumper between the primary UAP's AUX port and the cascaded (secondary) UAP's MAIN port the cable length between the primary UAP and the CAN/TEN. For example, a 95m cable between a TEN and a primary UAP could be used with a 5m jumper cable between the primary and cascaded UAP.

For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the power per carrier is reduced. For example, two carriers in a band will each have 3 dB less power than a single carrier in a band. This is important where the output signal is radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. La puissance de sortie nominale du fabricant pour cet equipement est la puissance composite dans une bande. Pour les situations ou plusieurs porteuses sont presentes, la puissance par porteuse est reduite. Par exemple, deux porteuses d'une bande auront chacun 3 dB de puissance inferieure a celle d'une seule porteuse dans une bande. Ceci est important lorsque le signal de sortie est rayonne et peut causer des interferences aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes. Cette reduction de puissance doit etre realisee par reduction de gain et non par un attenuateur en sortie du dispositif.

ION-E Series Hardware Installation Guide Page 75 Identifying CAP Ls in the ION-E Software IDENTIFYING CAP LS IN THE ION-E SOFTWARE CAP L numbering is based on the CAT cards slot and port numbers in the associated CAN or TEN and whether the CAP L is directly connected to the CAT card (a) or connected to the AUX port of another UAP (b). The ION-E GUI labels CAP Ls as follows:

OAP.<Slot ID>.<Port#><a or b>

Where OAP identifies that the Access Point is a CAP L

<Slot ID> is the WCS-2 or WCS-4 Subrack slot (L1 to L8), shown as a alpha-numerical integer from L1 - L8

<Port #> is the CAT Card Port number (1 - 4), shown as a numerical integer from 1 - 4

<a or b> is whether the CAP L is the main/primary CAP L (a) or the cascaded/secondary CAP L (b). Table 7-1. UAP Identification in the ION-E Software WCS Slot CAT Port Primary CAP L

Identifying CAP Ls in the ION-E Software CAP L Overview The CommScope ION-E Carrier Access Point, Low Power (CAP L) provides data and power through Copper, Single-Mode Fiber (SMF), or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). In addition to transmitting wireless data over a common cable, the CAP L also supports Gigabit Ethernet for WiFi, IP cameras. The CAP L interfaces with the ION-E CAN/TEN via a CAT 6A cable, or via an optical link. On the downlink, the CAP L converts some or all of the data arriving at the CAP L to analog signals and sends them to the Antenna ports. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams, which are sent back to the CAN. Each CAP L can provide RF coverage for up to four specific frequency bands. The CAP L is passively cooled with a temperature range of -33C to +40C (-27.4F to 104F); see also "Fan Kit (PN 7724090-00) on page 84 is outdoor rated (IP67) has a typical power consumption of 98W; see also "Fan Kit (PN 7724090-00) on page 84 Table 7-2 lists the CAP L models that this installation guide supports.

Fan Kits are factory installed. If the Fan Kit was ordered, the Fan Interface port will be cabled to the Fan Kit at the factory. If a Fan Kit is not ordered, the Fan Interface port is plugged. The CAP L Power-Down button is used only to power down the unit. Under normal operating conditions, the Power LED responds as listed below. If the CAP L is powered by a local power supply, the CAP L unit is always powered on. If the CAP L is powered over a data cable (Cat6A or fiber), the CAP L is automatically detected by the WCS/TEN and the link (power) comes up. If the CAP L is powered over CAT cabling or the head-end DC (hybrid fiber) supply is used, the CAP L is automatically detected and powered when it is connected to the WCS/TEN. In any case, the Power LED turns on briefly when the unit is first detected. It will then go out briefly, followed by an initialization period during which the Power LED flashes slowly while the CAP L is configured. The LED will remain a steady blue (not flashing) once the unit reaches a fully operational state, which typically occurs within 45 seconds, but it can vary dramatically in different systems and configurations, especially if it's auto-updating.

Mounting Orientation The CAP L should only be mounted as described below. Installing CAP Ls Always mount a CAP L that does not have the optional Fan Kit vertically, with the 4.3-10 antenna connectors pointing down; see Figure 7-4. Always mount a CAP L that has an optional Fan Kit installed horizontally, with the OCTIS connector pointing down; see Figure 7-5 on page 94. Figure 7-4.

Mounting Orientation for a CAP L with the Optional Fan Kit (Flat Mounting Bracket Shown) ION-E Series Hardware Installation Guide Page 94 M0201AA June 2017 CommScope, Inc. Installing CAP Ls Mounting Cautions Attach all CAP Ls securely to a stationary object as described in this installation guide. Do not mount a passive-cooled CAP L (that is, does not have a Fan Kit) in a wall-mounted orientation with the fins running horizontally; this results in a reduced maximum operating temperature of 35C (95F). Only a CAP L with a Fan Kit can be ceiling mounted. A CAP L without a Fan Kit cannot be ceiling mounted due to thermal constraints when the fins are pointed downward. To maintain proper ventilation, keep at least 76 mm (3-inch) clearance around the CAP L. Do not stack CAP Ls on top of each other. Always mount the CAP L with the face containing the mounting holes against the mounting surface. If a passive-cooled CAP L is floor mounted, the CAP L requires a minimum 203.2 mm (8-inch) clearance above the unit. The installation site must be able to bear the weight of the CAP L; see Table 7-5 on page 90. General Installation Safety Requirements Follow all of the installation cautions listed below and in "Mounting Cautions on page 95. Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm. This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain a minimum 8-inch (20 cm) clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Whenever possible, shut down the RAN before servicing the antenna. Do not remove caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so. A CAP L with a Copper Interface and External DC Power and a CAP L with a Copper Interface and Power Cat 6A Cable are not designed for outdoor installations. However, the antenna to which the Copper Interface units attach can be outdoors as long as suitable lightning-protection devices are used at the antenna site. Guard Against Damage from Electro-Static Discharge Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage, always wear an ESD wrist strap when working with the CAP L and when handling any of its components. Connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the CAP L or any of its components. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the CAP L and its components. M0201AA June 2017 CommScope, Inc.

(Optional) Ground the CAP L NOTE:

The CAP L is equipped with a green grounding screw located on the back of the unit; however, grounding is not necessary. CAP Ls 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. Follow the steps below to ground the OPA only if grounding is required in your locality or if the installation plans require the CAP L be grounded. The different CAP L installation procedures will tell you when to ground the CAP L. 1 Obtain a length of #18 AWG (1.00 mm) insulated stranded copper wire for use as a chassis-grounding wire. 2 Terminate one end of the wire with a ring terminal. Locate the chassis-ground stud at the rear of the CAP L enclosure. 4 Remove the Keps nut from the chassis-ground stud. 5 Attach the ring end of the wire to the chassis ground stud, as shown below. 6 Use the Keps nut removed in Step 4 to secure the ground wire to the chassis-ground stud. 7 Route the free end of the chassis grounding wire to an approved (per local code or practice) earth ground source.

ION-E Series Hardware Installation Guide Page 117 Cascading CAP Ls CASCADING CAP LS A second CAP L can be cascaded from a primary CAP L (the CAP L connected directly to the CAN/TEN). Limitations for cascaded CAP Ls are listed below. There can be only two CAP Ls in a cascade. The cascaded unit must use the same transport type (Copper or Optical). The cascaded CAP L must get its power through the DC connector (either from a local supply or hybrid fiber); power over the CAT cable to the cascaded unit is not supported. Use of the AUX ports in a cascaded system is limited as follows:

For Copper, use only the AUX port on the cascaded CAP L. For Optical, use only one of the AUX ports, which can be on either the primary or cascaded CAP L. The total 320MHz RF bandwidth is shared between the two cascaded units, but can be shared unevenly;

that is, with more bandwidth going to either the primary or cascaded CAP L. After the primary CAP L powers up, the secondary CAP L will be discovered and power up on its own; for information on how a CAP L powers up, see "Powering a CAP L on page 82.

+21 dBm

+21 dBm The Manufacturer's rated output power for this equipment is the composite power in a band. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the power per carrier is reduced. For example, two carriers in a band will each have 3 dB less power than a single carrier in a band. This is important where the output signal is radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. La puissance de sortie nominale du fabricant pour cet equipement est la puissance composite dans une bande. Pour les situations ou plusieurs porteuses sont presentes, la puissance par porteuse est reduite. Par exemple, deux porteuses d'une bande auront chacun 3 dB de puissance inferieure a celle d'une seule porteuse dans une bande. Ceci est important lorsque le signal de sortie est rayonne et peut causer des interferences aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes. Cette reduction de puissance doit etre realisee par reduction de gain et non par un attenuateur en sortie du dispositif.
