4. Route the supplied long Ethernet cable from the
MetroCell to the PoE+ Injector, and plug it into the Data &
Power Out jack on the PoE Injector.
5. Secure the long Ethernet cable to the wall.
GPS antenna cable connection
The MetroCell has GPS capability for localization of the unit,
which is required to comply with FCC Enhanced 911 (E911)
regulations.
1. Connect the 30 foot GPS antenna cable, with or without
the 70 foot extension, to the MetroCell GPS connector,
also on the bottom of the MetroCell.
2. Route the GPS antenna to (or as close as possible to) an
exterior window, glass wall or door for satellite access
and secure the end in place to a horizontal surface.
Secure the cable along its length.
Note: If the MetroCell is unable to acquire a GPS signal, the
device will be unable to complete activation.
Grounding
1. Each MetroCell must be grounded via shielded CAT5e
cable with metallic boots back to the associated PoE
Injector.
2. The PoE Injector must be grounded through the 3-prong
power plug.
Power Up
Finally, power up the MetroCell by connecting the PoE
Injector power cord to the PoE Injector and plugging it into
a 110V outlet. There is no On/Off switch on the MetroCell or
the PoE injector. When on and plugged in, you will see the
LED indicator lights on the front of the MetroCell come on.
If you need to power the unit down, unplug the Ethernet
cable at either end (when Power over Ethernet is used).
Radio frequency (RF) safety compliance
The Terms and Conditions agreed to by every customer
purchasing a MetroCell from AT&T require that the
customer respond to inquiries about the MetroCell from
employees and members of the general public who
might come into proximity with the MetroCell antennas.
Information to assist the customer in responding to
inquiries is provided in Appendix E and must be followed
prior to and while operating the MetroCell. FCC rules
require that this information be maintained with the
MetroCell and made available when requested.

Station authorization
The MetroCell radio is permitted by the FCC to operate
on spectrum licensed to AT&T. In accordance with FCC
rules, AT&T requires the customer to maintain the notice
provided in Appendix F with or near the MetroCell and to
present it when requested.
Activation
Your MetroCell is now ready for activation. This is done
through the MetroCell website, described in the next
section.
The AT&T MetroCell website:
att.com/metrocell
The MetroCell website provides access to a wealth of
information about the MetroCell, as well as access to the
management functions you can perform.
Contents and use of the website are described in greater
detail in the full AT&T MetroCell 9962 User Guide, which
is available at att.com/metrocell. Operation of the unit is
controlled via a web interface, which is compatible with
standard screen readers used by persons with visual
impairment.
Premier username & password
If you do not already have a Premier admin username and
password, the following document explains how to obtain
these credentials: Register for Premier.
The individual designated in Premier as the Company
Administrator, sometimes referred to as the Telecom
Manager or TCM, will by default have access to all functions
in the MetroCell website. A second tier of Premier users,
called BAN (Billing Account Number) Administrators, will
by default have access to all MetroCell functions but can
be restricted by the TCM. See the MetroCell User Guide for
more information about the functions of the MetroCell.
One or more MetroCells are associated with a BAN. A BAN
Admin will be able to manage any MetroCells associated
with the BAN; a TCM may be able to manage MetroCells
associated with multiple BANs.
Note that while you will need a Premier username and
password to access the Manage My MetroCell portion of
the MetroCell website, you will not need to enter the main
Premier website to do so.
Activating your AT&T MetroCell
First, make sure you have all of the following information,
which will be required to activate your MetroCell:
• Your AT&T Premier username and password (for TCMs
and BAN Admins).
• The serial number of the MetroCell you are activating
(found on the device label or shipping label).
• The street address at which the MetroCell is installed.
