An Era system comprises the components listed below.
•Central Area Node (CAN)—provides server-level control and primary signal distribution.It combines the signals from multiple operators and distributes those signals within a venue or multiple venues. There are two configuration modes available for the CAN: Classic and Switching.

CAP M Overview
CAP M OVERVIEW
This installation guide describes the Medium Power Carrier Access Point (CAP M), which interfaces via an optical link withaClassicCAN,or with aTEN. This allowsthe CAPM toprovidedataoverSingle-ModeFiber (SMF), or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for CAP Ms is provided over embedded AC/DC (AC version) or remotely through hybrid fiber (DC version).
On the downlink, the CAP M converts data arriving at the CAP M to analog signals and sends them to the Antenna port. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams, which are sent backtotheClassicCANorTEN.EachCAP McanprovideRFcoverageforuptofourspecificfrequencybands. Figure 1 shows how a CAPM can be deployed in an Era system.
Figure 1. CAP M in an Era System using a Classic CAN
All APs can only connect to a TEN or a Classic CAN. APs cannot connect to a Switching CAN or to a WIN.
The CAP M
•is passively cooled and operates within the following temperature ranges: -33°C to +52°C (-27.4°F to 125.6°F)
•is rated for indoor and outdoor (IP66) installations; see"Determine the Mounting Site” on page 16
•hasatypicalpowerconsumptionof140W;seealso"DeterminethePowerConsumptionoftheCAP M”on page 16.

CAP M Overview
Dual Mounting Bracket
The Dual Mounting Bracket (CommScope PN 7821955-xx) provides the mounting brackets required to mount two CAP Ms back-to-back in a single bracket, which is then mounted to a wall or other vertical, flat surface. See "Mount Two CAP Ms Using a Dual Mounting Bracket” on page 31.
Pole Mounting Kit for Up to 18" Poles
TheCAP MPoleMountingKitforUpto18"Poles(CommScopePN7692096-XX)isusedtomountaCAP Mto a pole with a circumference of 4" to 18" (10.2 cm to 45.8 cm). See "Mount the CAP M to a 4" to 18" Pole” on page 39.
Hybrid Fiber Splice Box
The Hybrid Fiber Splice Box (CommScope PN 7693816-xx) separates the power from the fiber signals on a hybrid fiber feed from the Classic CAN or TEN. It feeds power to the CAPM through a composite cable that includes bothfiber andcopper powerwires. Fiberandcopperterminate at theSplice Box, which allows you to separate the DC wires and fiber at the remote end. For CAPMs, you will typically use composite cable to transportsignalandpower,andthenusetheHybridFiberSpliceBoxtoterminatethefiberattheCAP M.See "Wire an Optional Hybrid Fiber Splice Box” on page 19.
OCTIS Kits
All CAP Ms include one OCTIS1 Kit for the primary interface to the Classic CAN or TEN that CAP M plugs into the CAP M Optical Port 1. You can order an additional OCTIS Kit, which would allow you to cascade two CAPMsviaOpticalPort2,ortoattachanauxiliaryEthernetdeviceviatheAUXPort.Table 3identifiesthetwo OCTIS Kit options.

ThefollowingsectionsguideyouthroughtheinstallationofaCAP M.Payattentiontoallcautionsandfollow the steps in the order presented.
CAP M Installation and Cascade Rules
When cascading a Secondary CAP M or an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or an IP camera, you must observe the following rules.
•You connect CAP Ms to an OPT Card in the Classic CAN or TEN.
–Each OPT Card has four 10 Gbps ports (labeled 1 - 4) for fiber connections.
–You can connect up to 4CAP Ms per OPT Card for a total of 16 Primary and 32 total, per Classic CAN or TEN.
•Inacascade,theCAP MconnecteddirectlytotheClassicCANorTENisthePrimaryCAP M,andtheCAP M that connects to the Primary CAP M is the Secondary CAPM.
•Thetotal320 MHzRFbandwidthissharedbetweenthetwocascadedunits,butcanbesharedunevenly; that is, with more bandwidth going to either the Primary or Secondary CAP M—either CAP M can transmit all the 320 MHz RF bandwidth or any subset of it.
•The Primary andSecondaryCAP Ms power upas soon as power is applied tothem. In a cascade, theGUI discovers and readies the Primary CAPM for RF first, and then the Secondary CAP M will be discovered and readied for RF. For information on the Power LED behavior, see"Power the CAP M” on page 52.
•SMF or MMF connects the CAP M via its Optical Port 1 to the OPT Card.
•When cascading a Secondary CAP M or an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or an IP camera, you must observe the following rules.
–To cascade two CAP Ms, use a fiber-optic cable.
–SMForMMFconnectstheSecondaryCAP MviaitsOpticalPort1tothePrimaryCAP MviaitsOptical Port 2.
–You can connect the following to the Primary CAP M
a Secondary CAP M
an Ethernet device
both a Secondary CAP M and an Ethernet device.
•To add a Secondary AP, you must add an Optical OCTIS kit to the Primary CAPL, see "OCTIS Kits” on page 8.
•To add an Ethernet device, you must add an RJ45 OCTIS kit to the Primary CAP L, see "OCTIS Kits” on page 8.
