Course Title: ERA E-CDD2 Card Deployment (for AT&T)

Course Description:

This course provides a detailed guide for deploying the ERA E-CDD2 for AT&T. The course covers the essential supporting documentation and hardware requirements. It outlines the step-by-step process for accessing the ERA system's GUI, upgrading the system software, and safely removing the existing cards for replacement. Key technical aspects, such as connecting cables and managing system configurations, are covered to ensure a smooth installation.

Learning Outcomes: Upon completion, learners will be able to:

• Verify that the ERA system meets the software and hardware prerequisites for E-CDD2 deployment.
• Identify the required equipment, software, and supporting documentation needed before deployment.
• Prepare the ERA system by removing legacy hardware and updating system configurations when required.
• Configure E-CDD2 cards and associated CPRI ports using the ERA GUI.
• Apply the required system changes, including queued tasks (Deferred Routing), to activate the new configuration.
• Modify or create Signal Sets and assign them to Access Points (APs) as needed to support E-CDD2 services.
• Perform post-installation optimization and validation to ensure the E-CDD2 deployment is operating correctly.
• Follow the deployment checklist in the correct sequence to ensure a consistent, error-free installation and reduce the risk of service disruptions.

Course Structure: The course follows the step by step E-CDD2 deployment process that is outlined in the deployment checklist. The described activities are accompanied with animations or videos of the process steps.

Supporting Documentation: The E-CDD2 deployment Guide and Checklist, along with the ERA SW Configuration Guide (V6.10 Drop 1) can be downloaded from the Help & Resources tab.
