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.”

ION-E Series System Overview
Table 2-1. ION-E Series Hardware System Components Supported in this Manual
Component Description
WCS-4 Subrack—CAN or TEN The WCS-4 Subrack is typically used as a CAN but can also serve as a TEN.
WCS-2 Subrack—TEN 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) 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.
Optical Transport Card (OPT) The OPT provides a 10 Gb fiber connection between a CAN/TEN. Each OPT
Card supports up to four SFP+ transceivers.
Copper Transport Card (CAT) 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.
Auxiliary Unit Transport Card
(AUT)
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).
Power Supply Unit (PSU) 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.
12 Vdc Power Module A 12 Vdc Module plugs into the Power Supply Subrack to provide 12 Vdc
power to the WCS and e-POI subracks.
57 Vdc Power Module 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.
UAP, UAP-N25 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.
UAP-X 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).
CAP L 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.
Fan Module 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.
e-POI Subrack 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.

Symbol Meaning
Alert sign to R&TTE
To be sold exclusively to mobile operators or authorized installers - no harmonised frequency
bands, operation requires license.
Intended use: EU and EFTA countries
Indicates conformity with the R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC certified by the notified body no. 0700.
A High leakage current ground (earth) connection to the Power Supply Subrack is essential before
connecting the supply.
Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the laser beam; do not view the laser
beam directly or with optical instruments.
High frequency radiation in operation. Risk of health hazards associated with radiation from the
antenna(s) connected to the unit. Implement prevention measures to avoid the possibility of close
proximity to the antenna(s) while in operation.

Property Damage Warnings
Due to power dissipation, the power supply units may reach a very high temperature if not properly
ventilated. Do not operate this equipment on or close to flammable materials.
ESD precautions must be observed. Before commencing maintenance work, use the available grounding
(earthing) methodology to connect ESD protection measures.
Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all users.
Only license holders for the respective frequency range are allowed to operate this unit.
Read and obey all the warning labels attached to the unit. Make sure that all warning labels are kept in a
legible condition. Replace any missing or damaged labels.
Make sure the unit's settings are correct for the intended use (refer to the manufacturer product
information) and regulatory requirements are met. Do not carry out any modifications or fit any spare
parts, which are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer.

UNRESOLVED: Also, not sure why the e-POI was not included in the ION-E Series Software Version 2.0.0

UNRESOLVED: Not sure about IFC Status LED. In original e-POI instructions, graphic labeled it the “IFC
module status,” but the definition referred to “e-POI” so is this Status for the IFC or the full
e-POI Subrack?
UNRESOLVED: For e-POI Module Status LEDS” Red state, original doc said was “IFC temperature alarm,”
which does not make sense, as there are 8 LEDs. However, please verify that my correction
above is correct.

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.

Grounding is not mandatory.
UAPs are classified as low-voltage
devices and do not have internal
power supplies. However,
CommScope recommends you
check local and national electrical
codes to determine if grounding is
a requirement for the location in
which you are installing the UAP.
Always lift the UAP by the support bar or the face of the unit. Do not lift the UAP by holding the edge of
the ceiling tile.
