Before You Begin; What's In The Kit; Getting To Know At&T Metrocell - AT&T Alcatel-Lucent 9363 Metro Cell Installation Manual

Before you begin

The time required to install your AT&T MetroCell device
varies with local circumstances; allow 1-2 hours for a
simple installation. Once the device is installed and system
activation is initiated via the MetroCell website, it will take
up to another 2 hours for your MetroCell to be ready for use.
To install AT&T MetroCell, you will need:
• A central point where you can attach the access point to
an interior wall or column. This location should be:
- Within 25 feet of an exterior window, glass wall or
door (to receive GPS signals) , and preferably no
closer than 15 feet in order to minimize propagation
of the signal into areas served by the public network.
A 70-foot extension is available - ask your AT&T
representative to order one for you if needed.
- At least 2 feet away from metal obstructions,
microwave ovens, cordless phones, fans, motors, and
fluorescent lighting in order to avoid interference
with the radio signal.
- At least 1 foot away from any work station or place
where people may gather in order to avoid excessive
exposure to radio frequency emissions.
- A substantial distance from any other small cell
(MetroCell, MicroCell, or repeater) to avoid radio
wave interference – see Appendix C.
• An available Ethernet port on a router or switch with
sufficient available bandwidth to support the traffic
that will be carried over the AT&T MetroCell
(see Appendix B for bandwidth guidelines).
• An AT&T Premier user ID and password.
If you do not already have a Premier username and
password, please go to the following website for
information on how to obtain these credentials:

• Some basic tools and hardware (drill, hammer, screw
driver, screws, wall anchors, cable fasteners)

What's in the kit

Examine the contents of your MetroCell kit. If you notice
