UAP-N25 and UAP-XN25—similar in function as the UAP and UAP-X, the UAP-N25 and UAP-XN25 – feature a 25 MHz filter on one path (instead of the 80 MHz filter on a UAP or UAP-X). This allows coexistence of specific bands, such as Australia 850 MHz and 900 MHz. Low Power Carrier Access Point (CAP L)—interfaces with the CAN/TEN via a Cat6A cable or an – optical link. This allows the CAP L to provide data over Copper, Single-Mode Fiber (SMF), or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for CAP Ls with a Copper Interface can be provided over Cat6A or External AC/DC. Power for CAP Ls with a Fiber Interface is provided over External AC/DC or remotely through hybrid fiber. Access Point WiFi IP Camera Cat6A MM/SM Fiber Figure 1.

Page 52: Powering A Cap L
There is an installation problem, such as a defective cable or connector, a cable that is too long, or a cable crosstalk problem. Any of these problems can lead to inadequate SNR at the remote unit and an inability to link. (This is the most likely cause if this is a newly-installed unit.) This condition can also be triggered when a crystal oscillator has aged over the course of several years. In this case, the failure to link at startup will initiate a self-calibration process which can take several minutes. Once this self-calibration is complete, the unit will resume normal operation. (This is the most likely cause for units that have worked correctly in the past.) Using the Power-Down Button If you press the CAP L Power-Down button, the CAP L will go into sleep mode. This allows you to safely • disconnect any cables connected to the CAP L. If you press the Power-Down button, the only way to bring the CAP L back to a fully operational state, is • to do one of the following: Disconnect the data cable from Port 1, and then reconnect it. – For an externally-powered CAP L, remove the power cable for 10 seconds, and then reconnect it. – ION®-E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide M0201AAC Page 48 © April 2018 CommScope, Inc. -
