Assembly
The MetroLinq™ Standard Bracket and Long Range Precision Bracket
(both ordered separately) are designed for wall and pole mounting
(25 mm - 80 mm pole diameter). Choose what is best for your
location and select hardware accordingly.
Ensure the structure on which the unit is to be mounted is
properly grounded and in compliance with ETSI ETS 300
253.
Verify that there is a good electrical connection to a
grounding point (no paint or isolating surface treatment).
Use the included (M4) screw to attach a grounding wire (not
included) to the grounding point on the unit, and then to
ground.
Caution:
unless all supply connections have been disconnected.
The earth connection must not be removed
Ensure all four position-locking bolts on the Standard
Bracket are tight before installing.

Power Up
Connect an Ethernet cable from the MetroLinq™ ETH PoE IN
port to the PoE port on the power supply.
Connect Ethernet cable from the “LAN” port on the power
supply to your LAN device.
Connect the power cord to a nearby AC power source.
Quick Start Guide
Note:
Do not adjust bolts A and B without first loosening 1
and 4 respectively.
Loosen coarse adjustment bolts 2 and 3 and set initial
alignment. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be too accurate
yet. After you have set the coarse alignment, tighten bolts 2
and 3.
Loosen the horizontal fine-tune adjustment bolt 4. Use finetune bolt "B" to optimize the horizontal position. Re-tighten
bolt 4.
Loosen the vertical fine-tune adjustment bolt 1. Use finetune bolt "A" to optimize the vertical position. Re-tighten
bolt 1.
Initial alignment should be based on optical or visual
alignment. After you achieve this, repeat steps 2 and 3 while
watching the 60 GHz signal strength LED. Optimize position
to the LED indicator.
Ensure all bolts are fully tightened, remove the alignment
scope (if installed), and enjoy Gigabit interference-free
wireless.
Standard Bracket Alignment
IgniteNet strongly recommends using the ICC-SCOPE-9x50
Alignment Scope for alignment. To install, place the scope on top of
the MetroLinq™ housing and secure it with its thumb screw.

Quick Start Guide
Software
To configure your MetroLinq, connect your computer to the
device through the LAN port of the power supply or directly
to the ETH1 port on the device.
The default IP mode is DHCP client, so if the device obtains
an address from a DHCP server on the network, then use
that IP (you can use the Discovery Tool from the IgniteNet
support site to find the DHCP address). If the device does
not obtain a DHCP address, it reverts to the fallback IP of
192.168.1.20 and you can access it on that IP. Direct your
web browser to the correct IP and log in.

After you have logged in, follow the steps in the Setup
Wizard to configure the device for your network.
