RouterOS v3 Configuration and User Guide
1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an AT-WR4500 series Wireless Router.
The WR4500 family of dual band outdoor wireless base routers and routing CPEs allow the building of wireless only or hybrid IP networks that are scalable, reliable and fully controllable. Wireless ISPs can easily and quickly provide homes in rural areas with broadband Internet access and VoIP telephony and, at the same time, can set-up WiFi hot spots for nomadic users. Enterprises can connect remote buildings without the need for expensive leased lines and can extend WiFi coverage to outdoor yards providing users with mobile intranet and Internet access everywhere. Municipalities can build wireless IP networks for connecting remote offices and for increasing public safety with real time monitored surveillance cameras and continuous communication with local police patrols. Local utilities can easily control their remote equipments and read, in real time, gas, water and electricity meters without any need for expensive fiber cabling. Hot spot services can be provided to hotel guests and hospital patients ‘illuminating’ rooms from outside the building with a reduced impact on medical equipments because no transmit radio will be installed inside the hospital. The single radio AT-WR4561 model can be used as either a base router, a hot spot or a wireless CPE while the dual radio AT-WR4562 can be deployed at the same time as both a wireless only base router and hot spot or base station in a Point to Multipoint configuration. The AT-WR4542 with its embedded high gain antenna is best suited for being used as a wireless CPE connecting to an AT-WR4561 or AT-WR4562 base router or can be deployed in couples for realizing long reach high performances Point to Point links. Flexibility is the primary advantage of the WR4500 family of wireless base routers. All products share the same software and features and differ only in the number of radio interfaces.
Please refer to the ATWR45xx Quick Installation Guide for information on how to install connect and initially setup each router model.

2 Configuring RouterOS
2.1 Logging in the AT-WR4500 Router
There are many options for accessing your AT-WR4500 Router command facility:
• Accessing the router Command Line Interface either via Telnet or SSH using any text-mode Telnet or SSH client software
• Accessing the Web based Graphical User Interface via HTTP using a Web browser
• Running the MS Windows based WinBox graphical menu based configuration utility.
Every AT-WR4500 Wireless Router is factory configured with the static IP address 192.168.1.1/24 (net mask 255.255.255.0) and both CLI and Web GUI can be accessed through this IP address.
2.2 Accessing the WR4500 through WinBox
Should the router come with a different IP address or if you do not want to change the IP address of your PC or Workstation then it is possible to access the Router using the discovery facility of the WinBox utility. Since WinBox can open a Layer 2 connection to the equipments, no change to the PC IP address is needed. Please refer to the following section for instructions on how to get and use WinBox.
Downloading WinBox loader
The MS Windows based utility WinBox can be downloaded from the Allied Telesis web site accessing http://www.alliedtelesis.com/. Select you country; access the “Software and Documentation” section under the “Service/Support” menu; select “Wireless” in the “Product Category” drop down menu and “AT-WR45421” in the “Product” drop down menu. Scroll down the page and select the “AT-WR4500 WinBox loader” from the list of available Software.
Using WinBox
Connect the AT-WR4500 router with a LAN cable to your PC and launch the WinBox loader utility that you have just downloaded. Please make sure that the only LAN port enabled on your PC is the one connected to the WR4500 Router. Any other LAN port, either wired or wireless, shall be disabled.
Figure 2: WinBox Loader discovering
When the WinBox loader startup window appears click on the button placed besides the “Connect To:” field and wait for some seconds. A list of AT-WR4500 connected equipments (at least one) will appear (see Figure 2). Select the one you want to access and then click on the “Connect” button. Every AT-WR4500 router is configured in factory with “admin” as the login user with no password set. The first time that you use it, the WinBox Loader will start downloading the rest of the WinBox application from the WR4500 router. Wait up to one minute until the entire application has been downloaded and the WinBox main window will appear.

You can keep open as many WinBox internal windows as you need at the same time.
2.3 Accessing the CLI
When logging into the router via terminal console in telnet or SSH, you will be presented with the RouterOS login prompt. Use 'admin' and no password (hit [Enter]) for logging into the router for the first time
AT-WR4500 v3.0 Login: admin Password:
The password can be changed with the /password command.
[admin@AT-WR4562] > password old password: new password: ************ retype new password: ************ [admin@AT-WR4562] >
After logging into the router you will be presented with the RouterOS™ Welcome Screen and command prompt, for example:
AA TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ooooo AAAAA TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT oooooooo AAAAAAAA TTTTTTTT I oooooo AAAAAAAAAAA TTTTTTT IIIIIIIIII AAAAAAA AAAAA TTTT IIIIIIIIII AAAAAAA AAAAA T IIIIIIIIII AT-WR4500 RouterOS 3.10 (c) 1999-2008 http://www.alliedtelesis.com/
[admin@AT-WR4562] >
The command prompt shows the identity name of the router and the current menu level, for example:
[admin@AT-WR4562] >interface [admin@AT-WR4562] interface> [admin@AT-WR4562] >ip address [admin@AT-WR4562] ip address>
The list of available commands at any menu level can be obtained by entering the question mark '?',
[admin@AT-WR4541g] > ? blink -- certificate -- Certificate management driver -- Driver management file -- Local router file storage. import -- interface -- Interface configuration ip -- log -- System logs password -- Change password ping -- Send ICMP Echo packets port -- Serial ports ppp -- Point to Point Protocol queue -- Bandwidth management quit -- Quit console radius -- Radius client settings redo -- Redo previously undone action routing -- setup -- Do basic setup of system snmp -- SNMP settings special-login -- Special login users system -- System information and utilities tool -- Diagnostics tools undo -- Undo previous action user -- export -- Print or save an export script that can be used to restore configuration
[admin@AT-WR4541g] >
The list of available commands and menus has short descriptions next to the items. You can move to the desired menu level by typing its name and hitting the [Enter] key, for example:
[admin@AT-WR4562] > | Base level menu [admin@AT-WR4562] > driver | Enter 'driver' to move to the driver | level menu [admin@AT-WR4562] driver> / | Enter '/' to move to the base level menu | from any level [admin@AT-WR4562] > interface | Enter 'interface' to move to the | interface level menu [admin@AT-WR4562] interface> /ip | Enter '/ip' to move to the IP level menu | from any level [admin@AT-WR4562] ip> |
AT-WR4500 Series - IEEE 802.11abgh Outdoor Wireless Routers 17 RouterOS v3 Configuration and User Guide
A command or an argument does not need to be completed, if it is not ambiguous. For example, instead of typing interface you can type just in or int. To complete a command use the [Tab] key.
The commands may be invoked from the menu level, where they are located, by typing its name. If the command is in a different menu level than the current one, then the command should be invoked using its full (absolute) or relative path, for example:
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip route> print | Prints the routing table [admin@AT-WR4562] ip route> .. address print | Prints the IP address table [admin@AT-WR4562] ip route> /ip address print | Prints the IP address table
The commands may have arguments. The arguments have their names and values. Some commands, may have a required argument that has no name.
Command Action
command [Enter] Executes the command
[?] Shows the list of all available commands
command [?] Displays help on the command and the list of arguments
The completion is optional and you can just use short command and parameter names
command argument [?]
[Tab]
/ Moves up to the base level
/command Executes the base level command
.. Moves up one level
"" Specifies an empty string
"word1 word2" Specifies a string of 2 words that contain a space
You can abbreviate names of levels, commands and arguments.
For the IP address configuration, instead of using the address and netmask arguments, in most cases you can specify the address together with the number of true bits in the network mask, i.e., there is no need to specify the netmask separately. Thus, the following two entries would be equivalent: /ip address add address 10.0.0.1/24 interface ether1
/ip address add address 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 interface ether1
You must specify the size of the network mask in the address argument, even if it is the 32-bit subnet, i.e., use 10.0.0.1/32 for address=10.0.0.1 netmask=255.255.255.255. At the factory an IP address (192.168.1.1/24) is pre-configured to allow to use application such us Telnet, WinBox or HTTP Web GUI, from the Ethernet interface ether1 connecting a PC configured with an IP Address on the same IP subnet, i.e. 192.168.1.100/24. Whenever the AT-WR4500 will be reset back the default setting, via the command /system reset-configuration, this IP address will not be restored into the router running configuration. Connecting the console cable is possible to configure the IP address using the commands reported here above.

Document revision: 1.6 (Mon Sep 19 12:55:52 GMT 2005)
Applies to: V2.9
3.1 General Information
Summary
This chapter introduces you with commands which are used to perform the following functions:
• system backup
• system restore from a backup
• configuration export
• configuration import
• system configuration reset
Description
The configuration backup can be used for backing up RouterOS configuration to a binary file, which can be stored on the router or downloaded from it using FTP for future use. The configuration restore can be used for restoring the router's configuration, exactly as it was at the backup creation moment, from a backup file. The restoration procedure (/system backup load) assumes the cofiguration is restored on the same router, where the backup file was originally created (/system backup save), so it will create partially broken configuration if the hardware has been changed. The configuration export can be used for dumping out complete or partial RouterOS configuration to the console screen or to a text (script) file, which can be downloaded from the router using FTP protocol. The configuration dumped is actually a batch of commands that add (without removing the existing configuration) the selected configuration to a router. The configuration import facility executes a batch of console commands from a script file. System reset command is used to erase all configuration on the router. Before doing that, it might be useful to backup the router's configuration.
In order to be sure that the backup will not fail, system backup load command must be used on the same computer with the same hardware where system backup save was done.
3.1.1 System Backup
Submenu level: /system backup
Description
The save command is used to store the entire router configuration in a backup file. The file is shown in the /file submenu. It can be downloaded via ftp to keep it as a backup for your configuration. To restore the system configuration, for example, after a /system reset, it is possible to upload that file via ftp and load that backup file using load command in /system backup submenu.
Command Description
load name=[filename] - Load configuration backup from a file save name=[filename] - Save configuration backup to a file
Example
To save the router configuration to file test:
[admin@AT-WR4562] system backup> save name=test Configuration backup saved [admin@AT-WR4562] system backup>
AT-WR4500 Series - IEEE 802.11abgh Outdoor Wireless Routers 19 RouterOS v3 Configuration and User Guide
To see the files stored on the router:
[admin@AT-WR4562] > file print # NAME TYPE SIZE CREATION-TIME 0 test.backup backup 12567 sep/08/2004 21:07:50 [admin@AT-WR4562] >
To load the saved backup file test:
[admin@AT-WR4562] system backup> load name=test Restore and reboot? [y/N]: Y Restoring system configuration System configuration restored, rebooting now
3.1.2 The Export Command
Command name: /export
Description
The export command prints a script that can be used to restore configuration. The command can be invoked at any menu level, and it acts for that menu level and all menu levels below it. The output can be saved into a file, available for download using FTP.
Command Description
file=[filename] - saves the export to a file
Example
[admin@AT-WR4562] > ip address print Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic # ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE 0 10.1.0.172/24 10.1.0.0 10.1.0.255 bridge1 1 10.5.1.1/24 10.5.1.0 10.5.1.255 ether1 [admin@AT-WR4562] >
To make an export file:
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> export file=address [admin@AT-WR4562] ip address>
To see the files stored on the router:
[admin@AT-WR4562] > file print # NAME TYPE SIZE CREATION-TIME 0 address.rsc script 315 dec/23/2003 13:21:48 [admin@AT-WR4562] >
3.1.3 The Import Command
Command name: /import
Description
The root level command /import [file_name] executes a script, stored in the specified file adds the configuration from the specified file to the existing setup. This file may contain any console comands, including scripts. is used to restore configuration or part of it after a /system reset event or anything that causes configuration data loss.
It is impossible to import the whole router configuration using this feature. It can only be used to import a part of configuration (for example, firewall rules) in order to spare you some typing.
Command Description
file=[filename] - loads the exported configuration from a file to router
Example
To load the saved export file use the following command:
[admin@AT-WR4562] > import address.rsc Opening script file address.rsc Script file loaded successfully [admin@AT-WR4562] >
3.1.4 Configuration Reset
Command name: /system reset
Description
The command clears all configuration of the router and sets it to the default including the login name and password ('admin' and no password), IP addresses and other configuration is erased, interfaces will become disabled. After the reset command router will reboot.
Command Description
reset - erases router's configuration
Example
If the router has been installed using netinstall and had a script specified as the initial configuration, the reset command executes this script after purging the configuration. To stop it doing so, you will have to reinstall the router.
[admin@AT-WR4562] > system reset Dangerous! Reset anyway? [y/N]: n action cancelled [admin@AT-WR4562] >

• The RouterOS functions and the system itself can be easily upgraded
• Multiple packages can be installed at once
AT-WR4500 Series - IEEE 802.11abgh Outdoor Wireless Routers 23 RouterOS v3 Configuration and User Guide
• The package dependency is checked before installing a software package. The package will not be installed, if the required software package is missing
• The version of the feature package should be the same as that of the system package
• The packages can be uploaded on the router using ftp and installed only when the router is going for
shutdown during the reboot process
• If the software package file can be uploaded to the router, then the disk space is sufficient for the installation of the package
• The system can be downgraded to an older version by uploading the needed packages to router via FTP binary mode. After that, execute command /system package downgrade
3.3.2 Installation (Upgrade)
Description
Installation or upgrade of the RouterOS software packages can be done by uploading the newer version of the software package to the router and rebooting it. The software package files are compressed binary files, which can be downloaded from Allied Telesis web site in th support section http://www.alliedtelesis.com/support/. The full name of the software package consists of a descriptive name, version number and extension .npk, e.g. system-3.2.npk, routerboard-
3.2.npk. Package routeros-x86 contains all necessary packages for RouterOS installation and upgrading
for AT-WR456x Wireless Routers. You should check the available hard disk space prior to downloading the package file by issuing /system resource print command. If there is not enough free disk space for storing the upgrade packages, it can be freed up by uninstalling some software packages, which provide functionality not required for your needs. If you have a sufficient amount of free space for storing the upgrade packages, connect to the router using ftp. Use user name and password of a user with full access privileges.
Step-by-Step
• Connect to the router using ftp client
• Select the BINARY mode file transfer
• Upload the software package files to the router
• Check the information about the uploaded software packages using the /file print command
• Reboot the router by issuing the /system reboot command or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del keys at the
router's console
• After reboot, verify that the packages were installed correctly by issuing /system package print command
The packages uploaded to the router should retain the original name and also be in lowercase. The installation/upgrade process is shown on the console screen (monitor) attached to the router. Before upgrading the router, please check the current version of the system package and the additional software packages. The versions of additional packages should match the version number of the system software package. The version of the RouterOS system software (and the build number) are shown before the console login prompt. Information about the version numbers and build time of the installed RouterOS software packages can be obtained using the /system package print command.
3.3.3 Uninstallation
Command name: /system package uninstall
Description
Usually, you do not need to uninstall software packages. However, if you have installed a wrong package, or you need additional free space to install a new one, you have to uninstall some unused packages.
If a package is marked for uninstallation, but it is required for another (dependent) package, then the marked package cannot be uninstalled. You should uninstall the dependent package too. For the list of package dependencies see the 'Software Package List; section below. The system package will not be uninstalled even if marked for uninstallation.
Example
Suppose we need to uninstall security package from the router:
[admin@AT-WR4562] system package> print Flags: X - disabled # NAME VERSION SCHEDULED 0 routeros-rb500 3.0 1 system 3.0 2 X ipv6 3.0 3 ntp 3.0 4 wireless 3.0 5 dhcp 3.0 6 routing 3.0 7 routerboard 3.0 8 advanced-tools 3.0 9 hotspot 3.0 10 ppp 3.0 11 security 3.0 [admin@AT-WR4562] system package> uninstall security [admin@AT-WR4562] > .. reboot
3.3.4 Downgrading
Command name: /system package downgrade
Description
Downgrade option allows you to downgrade the software via FTP without losing your license key or reinstalling the router. It is not recommended to use older versions, however, if the newest version introduced some unwanted behavior, you may try to downgrade. If you send a support question, you will probably be asked to upgrade to the latest version.
Step-by-Step
• Connect to the router using ftp client
• Select the BINARY mode file transfer
• Upload the software package files to the router
• Check the information about the uploaded software packages using the /file print command
• Execute command /system package downgrade. The router will downgrade and reboot.
• After reboot, verify that the packages were installed correctly by issuing /system package print
command
Command Description
downgrade - this command asks your confirmation and reboots the router. After reboot the software is downgraded (if all needed packages were uploaded to the router)
AT-WR4500 Series - IEEE 802.11abgh Outdoor Wireless Routers 25 RouterOS v3 Configuration and User Guide
Example
To downgrade the RouterOS (assuming that all needed packages are already uploaded):
[admin@AT-WR4562] system package> downgrade Router will be rebooted. Continue? [y/N]: y system will reboot shortly
3.3.5 Disabling and Enabling
Specifications
Command name: /system package disable, /system package enable
Description
You can disable packages making them invisible for the system and later enable them, bringing the system back to the previous state. It is useful if you don't want to uninstall a package, but just turn off its functionality. This will save the RAM and processor resources for other applications, but will not free the diskspace used by the package files.
If a package is marked for disabling, but it is required for another (dependent) package, then the marked package cannot be disabled. You should disable or uninstall the dependent package too. For the list of package dependencies see the 'Software Package List; section below. If any of the test packages will be enabled (for example wireless-test and routing-test packages, that are included in routeros-x86.npk) system automaticly will disable regular packages that conflict with them.
Example
Suppose we need to test ipv6 package features:
[admin@AT-WR4562] system package> print Flags: X – disabled # NAME VERSION SCHEDULED 0 routeros-rb500 3.0 1 system 3.0 2 X ipv6 3.0 3 ntp 3.0 4 wireless 3.0 5 dhcp 3.0 6 routing 3.0 7 routerboard 3.0 8 advanced-tools 3.0 9 hotspot 3.0 10 ppp 3.0 11 security 3.0 [admin@AT-WR4562] system package> enable ipv6 [admin@AT-WR4562] system package> .. reboot
3.3.6 Unscheduling
Command name: /system package unschedule
Description
Unschedule option allows to cancel pending uninstall, disable or enable actions for listed packages.
Packages marked for uninstallation, disabling or enabling on reboot in column "schedule" will have a note, warning about changes.
Example
Suppose we need to cancel security package uninstallation action scheduled on reboot:
[admin@AT-WR4562] system package> print Flags: X – disabled # NAME VERSION SCHEDULED 0 routeros-rb500 3.0 1 system 3.0 2 X ipv6 3.0 3 ntp 3.0 4 wireless 3.0 5 dhcp 3.0 6 routing 3.0 7 routerboard 3.0 8 advanced-tools 3.0 9 hotspot 3.0 10 ppp 3.0 11 security 3.0 scheduled for uninstall [admin@AT-WR4562] system package> unschedule security [admin@AT-WR4562] system package>
