Install and Connect the Subrack Cards
Figure 13 shows the internal mapping between WCS slots and CAT/OPT Card ports to AUT Card slots and
ports. There is a specific relationship between the slot in which the CAT and AUT Cards are installed, and the
CAT and AUT Card ports. For example:
• The CAT/OPT Card slot/port combination of L1.1 always maps to AUT Card slot/port combination M1.1
• The CAT/OPT Card slot/port combination L4.4 always maps to AUT Card slot/port combination M2.8.
This internal mapping provides the Ethernet backhaul for Ethernet devices connected to the Ethernet ports
on the AUT Card.
Figure 13. Internal Mapping of CAT/OPT Card Slots and Ports to AUT Card Slots and Ports
Use the preceding information and the following steps to connect the AUT Card(s) to the ERA system.
1 Follow the steps in "Install and Connect the Subrack Cards” on page 56 to install the AUT Card(s) into the

2 Use to Figure 13 as a reference for port assignments of auxiliary devices subtended off an AP.
Figure 13 shows the CAT Card installed in Slots L1 - L4. The mapping shown would be the same for an OPT
Card installed in Slots L1 - L4.
