Era System Overview

ERA SYSTEM OVERVIEW

CommScope Era™ coordinates wireless capacity throughout the entire coverage area via a single centralized head-end location or from an operator’s existing C-RAN hub. Based on ION-E

cost-efficient standard IT cabling as ION-E and is compatible with ION-E deployments. Era systems bring 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. An Era system comprises the components listed below.

You install RF Donor (RFD) Cards and CPRI Digital Donor (CDD) Cards in a Classic CAN, which digitizes the analog BTS signals from the RFD Cards and combines those with the BBU CPRI digital signals from the CDD Cards, and then distributes the RF signals to the TENs. The TENs then provide the RF signals to the Access Points (APs). The Classic CAN also supports APs that are directly connected to CAT or OPT Cards installed in the Classic CAN chassis. Wide-area Integration Nodes (WINs) are not supported by a Classic CAN. Users have full and flexible control of all signal routing via the Era GUI.

All operator Baseband signals (analog BTS and BBU CPRI) are supplied to the Switching CAN by the WINs, so no RFD or CDD Cards can be installed in the Switching CAN. The Switching CAN then combines the signals from all WINs and distributes those signals to the TENs, and the TENs provide the signals to the APs. APs are not directly connected to a Switching CAN. Users have full and flexible control of all signal routing via the Era GUI.

This guide uses “CAN” to collectively refer to Central Area Nodes. When information pertains to a specific CAN mode, “Classic CAN” and “Switching CAN” will be used.

Property Damage Warnings

Only suitably qualified personnel are allowed to work on this unit and only after becoming familiar with all safety notices, installation, operation and maintenance procedures contained in this installation guide.

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.

When opening the CAP H, do not damage the warranty labels on the internal devices. The warranty is void if the seals are broken.

Make sure the repeater 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.

Safely Working with a CAP H

Due to power dissipation, the CAP H may reach a very high temperature. Ensure sufficient airflow for ventilation. Do not operate this equipment on or close to flammable materials. Use caution when servicing the CAP H

Although the CAP H is internally protected against overvoltage, it is strongly recommended to ground (earth) the antenna cables close to the antenna connectors of the unit for protection against atmospheric discharge. In areas with strong lightning, it is strongly recommended to install additional lightning protection.

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 Era hardware components. Not all Era hardware requires grounding. For those hardware components for which grounding is required, connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the component. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the hardware.

Installing a CAP H

Connect the MAINS Power

This section tells you how to connect the mains power to the CAP H. Read and observe all cautions and follow the steps in the order in which they are presented.

Working Safely with MAINS Power

Read and observe all cautions listed in "Safely Working with a CAP H" on page 14.

Ground (earth) the unit before connecting the power supply. Grounding bolts are provided on the CAP H connector panel to connect the ground-bonding cable. See "Ground the CAP H" on page 32

If the CAP H MAINS connector is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the mains power circuit must be provided within easy reach.

A connection of the mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be near the CAP H.

Before connecting or disconnecting the CAP H MAINS connector, ensure that the mains power supply is disconnected.

Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker is acting as a disconnect device (as required by IEC/EN62368-1 annex L) and an overcurrent limiting device are connected between mains power and the

CAP H

Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components.

To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical processes, the material of the cable connectors must not cause a higher potential difference than 0.6 V (see electrochemical contact series).

For destabilized electric networks, which frequently generate spikes, the use of a voltage limiting device is advised.

Unused connectors must be closed with their protective covers to ensure water tightness.

Maintenance

Routine Maintenance of the CAP H

Check the cleanliness of the CAP H—in particular its heat sink / fan(s)—at appropriate intervals depending on the degree of dust and dirt at the installation site. If necessary, any dusty or dirty areas / parts should be cleaned at regular intervals, which is also dependent on the degree of dust and dirt at the installation site.

Replacing the Fan Unit

Replacement of the Fan Unit is not required as a preventative measure. you should only replace the fan when an alarm indicates that the fan is malfunctioning or when to directed to do so by CommScope.

Note, however, should the te reduce output power. If this doesn't help and the temperature continues to rise above 85°C (185°F), the Power Amplifier (PA) will shut down. Once temperature decreases, the PA will automatically turn back on.

Rotating fans. Risk of injury in operation. Wear tight-fitting clothes and disconnect mains before connecting or replacing or cleaning the Fan Unit.

The Fan Unit can only be replaced as a whole. Do not remove the fans separately.

All CAP H screws have a right-hand thread. Use an appropriate tool to tighten or loosen them. Turn the screws clockwise to tighten them and turn them counter-clockwise to loosen them.
