CAP H
The following sections guide you through the installation of a CAP H. Pay attention to all cautions and follow
the steps in the order presented.
CAP H Installation and Cascade Rules
•
When installing a CAP H, you must observe the following rules.
–
The CAP H connects via its Optical Port 1 to an OPT Card in a Classic CAN or TEN.
–
You can only install the OPT Card in Slots L1- L4.
–
You can connect up to 4 CAP Hs per OPT Card, for a total of 16 CAP Hs.
–
You can connect up to 4 Primary CAP Hs per OPT Card, and then connect one Secondary CAP H to each
Primary CAP H, for a total of 32 CAP Hs.
•
When cascading a Secondary CAP H or an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or an IP camera, you must
observe the following rules.
–
In a cascade, the CAP H connected directly to a Classic CAN or TEN is the Primary CAP H, and the
CAP H that connects to the Primary CAP H is the Secondary CAP H.
–
To cascade two CAP Hs, connect the fiber-optic cable from Optical Port 2 of the Primary CAP H to
Optical Port 1 of the Secondary CAP H.
–
You connect CAP Hs to an OPT Card in a Classic CAN or TEN. Each OPT Card has four 10 Gbps ports
(labeled 1 - 4) for fiber connections.
The OPT Card can only be installed in Slots L1 - L4 of a Classic CAN or TEN.
You can connect up to 4 CAP Hs per OPT Card for a total of 16.
–
The total 320 MHz RF bandwidth is shared between the two cascaded units, but can be shared
unevenly; that is, with more bandwidth going to either the Primary or Secondary CAP H-either CAP H
can transmit all the 320 MHz RF bandwidth or any subset of it.
–
The Primary and Secondary CAP Hs power up as soon as power is applied to them. In a cascade, the
GUI discovers and readies the Primary CAP H for RF first, and then the Secondary CAP H will be
discovered and readied for RF.
Prepare for Installation
Do the following before beginning installation.
•
Review and know the cautions in
"Safely Working with a CAP H" on page 14
