Unpack the body of the MetroCell.
Find the 2 "stick" antennas and screw them into the connection
points shown in Figure 2.
Locate the metal bracket packed with the cosmetic cover and
attach it to the back of the MetroCell, using the 4 provided
screws.
Step 1: Mount AT&T MetroCell
Wall mount installation
To mount the device onto a wall, perform the following steps.
1. Select a location where the MetroCell can be mounted in a
vertical position.
2. Each of the four corners of the MetroCell has a hole for
securing it to the wall. Hold the MetroCell on the wall where
it is to be installed and use a pencil to mark the position of
each of the holes.
3. For each marking, drill a hole in the wall with the
appropriately sized drill bit. Insert an anchor into each drilled
hole. Use an anchor that is appropriate for the wall material.
These must be provided by the installer.
4. Align the bolt holes on the MetroCell with the drilled bolt
holes with anchors and drive the screws or bolts through the
bolt holes on the MetroCell and into the anchors.

Power supply
The MetroCell must be powered either by the provided
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) injector or by the provided
48V AC/DC power adaptor. Do NOT use both at the same
time, and do NOT use Power over Ethernet from a router or
switch. In most cases, the PoE+ injector is recommended,
MetroCell
since it requires that only one cable be run to the MetroCell.
If the PoE+ Injector is used, the cable connecting the PoE+
injector to the MetroCell must be shielded Cat5e, and the
connectors at both ends must have metallic "boots". The
MetroCell kit includes a 150' length of this cable.
PoE+ injector use and mounting
1. PoE+ Injectors should be mounted in data equipment
locations and must not be mounted above the ceiling or
near the MetroCell.
2. The PoE+ Injector should be secured to an equipment
rack (if available, customer-provided) or other secure
fixture. If a ground connection is available near the
PoE+ Injector, use the short (~6 inch) wire attached to
the Injector or a longer wire provided by the installer to
ground the Injector. If not available, the ground in the
Injector power cord is adequate.

Connect the Ethernet cables
To attach the Ethernet cables, perform the following steps.
1. Route the supplied 10 foot Ethernet cable from the
router or switch to the PoE Injector and plug it into the
"Data In" jack.
2. Route the supplied 150 foot Ethernet cable from the
MetroCell to the PoE+ Injector, and plug it into the "Data
& Power Out" jack on the PoE+ Injector or router/switch
(if the Injector is not being used).
3. Plug the other end of the long Ethernet cable into
Ethernet Port #1 on the MetroCell.
4. Secure the long Ethernet cable to the wall.
