AT&T MetroCell 9962
For the Alcatel-Lucent 9962 Multi-standard Enterprise Cell v1
Thank you for purchasing AT&T MetroCell !

Before you begin

Allow 1-2 hours for installation. Once system activation is
initiated, it may take up to 2 hours for your MetroCell to be
ready for use. For more complex installations, please refer
to the AT&T MetroCell 9962 Installation Guide available
online at att.com/metrocell.
For accessibility information about the AT&T MetroCell,
please visit att.com/metrocell.
To install AT&T MetroCell, you will need:
1. A central location where you can attach the MetroCell
to an interior wall or column, near the ceiling. This
location should be:
• Within 100 feet of an exterior window, glass wall or door
(to receive GPS signals), and preferably no closer than
15 feet.
• 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.
AT&T MetroCell 9962 Quick Start Guide, April 2016

Quick Start

• 50 to 100 feet away from any other small cell (MetroCell,
MicroCell, or repeater) to avoid radio wave interference.
2. 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 Installation Guide or User Guide for bandwidth
requirements).
3. An AT&T Premier username and password with
administrative permissions
• If you do not already have a Premier admin username
and password, the following document explains how to
obtain these credentials: Register for Premier.
4. Basic tools and hardware (drill, hammer, screw driver,
screws, wall anchors, cable fasteners)
If you're connecting the MetroCell to a router that has a
simple configuration and hasn't been customized, you likely
won't have to make changes to your router settings.
If the router configuration has been customized or is
acting as a firewall, please consult the Local Transport
Requirements in the AT&T MetroCell Installation Guide
or User Guide, as well as documentation from your
router manufacturer and/or Internet Service Provider.
