ION-E Series System Overview
ION-E S ERIES S YSTEM O VERVIEW
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 Point—connects 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-X—connects 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.”

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.
Unless otherwise noted, the use of “AP” collectively refers to the UAP, UAP-X, UAP-N25, and CAPs.

Compliance and Standards Certification
C OMPLIANCE AND S TANDARDS C ERTIFICATION
This is class A equipment. This equipment can cause radio interference in domestic areas. In this case the
operator can be asked to start preventive action.
FCC RF Exposure Requirements
For installations, which have to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antenna selection and
installation must be completed in a way to ensure compliance with those FCC requirements. Depending on
the RF frequency, rated output power, antenna gain, and the loss between the repeater and antenna, the
minimum distance D to be maintained between the antenna location and human beings is calculated
according to this formula:
D[ cm ] =
P[ mW ]
4 ∗ π ∗ PD[ mW / cm 2 ]
where
•
P (mW) is the radiated power at the antenna, i.e. the max. rated repeater output power in addition to the
antenna gain minus the loss between the repeater and the antenna.
•
PD (mW/cm²) is the allowed Power Density limit acc. to 47 CFR 1.1310 (B) for general population /
uncontrolled exposures which is
–
f (MHz) / 1500 for frequencies from 300MHz to 1500MHz
–
1 for frequencies from 1500MHz to 100,000MHz
RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC
Bureau(s), including antenna co-location requirements of 1.1307(b)(3).
EMC Standards
•
•
For installations that have to comply with European EN50385 exposure compliance requirements, the
following Power Density limits/guidelines (W/m²) according to ICNIRP are valid:
–

This section provides information on the WCS-4 and WCS-2 Subracks (Figure 3-1), which dependent on their
configuration, become a Central Area Nodes (CAN) or a Transport Expansion Nodes (TEN).
•
The CAN is the server-level control and primary signal distribution within an ION-E system.
•
The TEN is the secondary distribution point that connects to a CAN using Multi-Mode or Single-Mode
fiber.
•
The WCS-4 is four Rack-Units (RUs) high, and is typically used as a CAN, but can also serve as a TEN.
•
The WCS-2 is two RUs high, and is typically used as a TEN, but can also serve as a CAN.

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. Whether or not PIM will cause interference depends on the
spacing between UL and DL and the frequencies of active carriers.

Installing Subracks and PSUs in an Equipment Rack
Connect the AUT Cards
The following rules apply to the AUT Card ports 1 - 8.
•
The outside network that supports the Ethernet device connected to the UAP must be connected to the
corresponding AUT Card and port of the subrack containing the CAT card to which the UAP is connected.
Ethernet backhaul over the optical link is not supported.
•
Because the path from the UAP AUX port to an AUT port path is a pass-through connection, no extra
network setup procedures for the Ethernet device are required.
•
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.

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.

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

R EMOVING AN E -POI M ODULE FROM AN E -POI S UBRACK
The ION-E Software automatically detects when an e-POI Module is added to an e-POI Subrack. If you need to
remove an e-POI Module, you must do the following:
Disconnect the Ribbon cable from the e-POI Module that you are removing from the e-POI Subrack.
Loosen the two thumbscrews on the bottom of the e-POI Module and pull it from the subrack.
Press the Config button on the IFC for 5 seconds. This tells the ION-E Software to scan and delete the
removed e-POI Module from inventory and clear any alarms related to that e-POI Module.
Wait for the e-POI Module Status LEDS on the IFC to flash off and then on, which indicates that the IFC has
been reconfigured.

Identifying UAPs in the ION-E Software
UAP numbering is based on the CAT cards slot and port numbers in the associated CAN or TEN and whether
the UAP is directly connected to the CAT card (a) or connected to the AUX port of another UAP (b).
The ION-E GUI labels UAPs as follows:
..
Where
•
is the UAP name, such as UAP or UAP-X
•
is the WCS-2 or WCS-4 Subrack slot (L1 to L8), shown as a alpha-numerical integer from L1 - L8
•
is the CAT Card Port number (1 - 4), shown as a numerical integer from 1 - 4
•
is whether the UAP is the main/primary UAP (a) or the cascaded/secondary UAP (b).

UAPs and UAP-N25s
The UAP and UAP-N25 transmit and receive signals via Cat6A cabling between the CAN/TEN and an indoor
antenna. The UAP also supports Ethernet backhaul or an additional UAP through a second RJ45 jack.
The UAP-N25 is similar to the UAP. UAPs support 380 to 2700 MHz in four 75-MHz blocks. The N25 has a filter
that restricts the second receiver to 25 MHz. This allows ION-E to support certain band combinations in
which a narrow receive band exists between two transmit bands.
The UAP and UAP-N25 are designed for indoor use only.

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.

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.

Installing UAPs
Standard Ceiling Mount Installation Steps
Using the supplied template as a guide, cut an opening in the center of a ceiling tile for the UAP.
Place the UAP on a flat surface such as a table with the top of the unit face down (connectors up).
