Figure 5. Supported Slot and Card Installations for TENs
Card Slot Supported Card Type
L1 - L4 Install either a CAT Card or an OPT Card, as follows:
• Install an OPT Card to connect to a CAP H, CAP M, or Fiber CAP L.
• Install a CAT Card to connect to a UAP or Copper CAP L.
(Note: -48Vdc WCS subracks do not provide Power over CAT6A for UAPs or Copper CAP Ls. The standard WCS subracks
using the 57V rectifier modules in the PSU subrack are required.)
L5 - L8 Not supported/used.
M1 - M2 Install AUT Card(s) as required for a 1 Gbps pass-through connection between the TEN and the APs that are directly connected
to the TEN.
M3 Install a SUI Card for Ethernet access to the TEN via the SUI Card’s Local port if needed. It is not possible to assign a network
IP address to a port when the SUI Card is installed in a TEN.
R1 Install an OPT Card and use
• Port R1.1 to connect to the CAN
• Ports R1.2 through R1.4 for additional TEN-to-CAN links.
R2 - R8 Not supported/used. (TENs do not support or use RFD or CDD Cards.)
For information on how to configure the WCS Subrack as a TEN in the ERA software or allowing the CAN
to configure the Subrack as a TEN, refer to the ERA configuration guide for Software Version 2.5 or later;
see "Accessing ERA Series User Documentation” on page 83.
