1 Install the antennas by screwing on the SMA connectors from the antenna onto the housing of the
AW12 modem. If you are using traditional paddle antennas (like those on a wifi access point),
locate the MegaFixed unit by a window or other location that will more easily see the cell
tower. If you are using panel type or outdoor antennas, then locate the antenna so it is free of
obstructions that could block the signal and position one meter from other antennas.
2 Connect the ends of the antennas into the RF ports on the modem.
Note. See our antenna recommendations at assured-wireless.com/products/antennas.
1 Locate the AC adapter power cable. Insert the Molex connector into the port labeled PWR IN on the side of the
USB to Ethernet converter, and then plug into an AC power outlet.
2 If using PoE power, insert the ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port labeled PoE+ on the USB to Ethernet converter
and then connect the ethernet cable to the WAN port on your router.
3 Refer to your router user manual for router configuration. Please make sure the MTU size setting in your
router is 1342 or as otherwise advised at https://iotdevices.att.com/att-iot/FirstNetMTU.aspx.
