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 GPS antenna cable to the MetroCell. A
70-foot extension is available if needed - ask your AT&T
representative. Do not use your own cable or more than
one extension.
2. Route the GPS antenna to (or as close as possible to) the
nearest 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 pick up a GPS signal, the
device will be unable to complete activation.

Grounding
1. Each MetroCell must be grounded via shielded CAT5e
cable with associated metallic boots back to the
associated PoE+ Injector, switch, or router.
2. The PoE+ Injector, router, or switch must be grounded as
appropriate for the particular piece of equipment.
3. The installer is responsible to ensure that adequate
grounding is provided.
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. Make sure the On/Off Button (see Figure 2) is
On. When On, the Power LED will be lit.
Step 3: Device Cover
Cosmetic Cover Attachment (Optional)
If the optional MetroCell cosmetic cover is to be fitted to
the MetroCell:
• Clip the cosmetic cover into the attachment point on the
top of the MetroCell unit and secure in place using the two
retention screws at the bottom of the cover.
Note that when the cover is on, you will be unable to view
the LED lights or the serial number, so it is advisable to
attach the cover after activation.
