MikroTik RBLHG-2nD-XL operation manual

LHG series

The LHG is an outdoor wireless router with a built-in directional antenna. It can be used as a CPE or for point to point links (use RouterOS wireless mode “bridge” to work as a single-client AP for point to point scenarios).

Assembly

Attach the two legs to the LHG case, then snap the assembled LHG unit to the grid in the appropriate locations. Fix the legs in place with two self thread screws (Included, use Phillips screw driver PH2). The package also contains a grounding cable connector, and a 5 degree angle adapter. More detailed instructions available on the product page on https://mikrotik.com/products/.

Connecting

1. Open the ethernet door to connect an ethernet cable to the ethernet port, connect the other end of the ethernet cable to the included PoE injector.

2. Plug the PoE injector into your network switch or ISP internet outlet.

3. Plug the included power supply into the PoE injector to start up the device.

4. Set LAN computer IP configuration to automatic (DHCP).

5. Default IP address of the unit is 192.168.88.1, open this address in your web browser to start configuration. The username is admin and there is no password.

The device is preconfigured as a wireless client and all you need to do is select the AP to connect to and set a device password. You can do this in the QuickSet tab that is opened by default. We recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button and updating your RouterOS software to the latest version to ensure the best performance and stability.

In case IP connection is not available, Winbox can be used to connect to the MAC address of the device.

In case you wish to boot the device from network, for example to use MikroTik Netinstall, hold the RESET button of the device when starting it, until the LED light turns off, then the device will start to look for Netinstall servers.

Powering

The device accepts powering only from Passive PoE injectors.

Extension slots and ports

 One Ethernet port, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight or cross-over

cables for connecting to other network devices.

 One Integrated 2x2 MIMO wireless device with built-in grid antenna.

Buttons and jumpers

The reset button has three functions:

• Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (total 5 seconds).

• Keep holding for 5 more seconds, LED turns solid, release now to turn on CAPs mode (total 10 seconds).

• Or keep holding the button for 5 more seconds until until LED turns off, then release it to make the RouterBOARD look for Netinstall

servers (total 15 seconds).

Regardless of the above option used, the system will load the backup RouterBOOT loader if the button is pressed before power is applied to the device. Useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.

The device includes a grounding connection (marked ) which you should connect to the grounding installation of the tower or building where the device will be used. This is to substantially reduce risk of ESD and lightning damage.

Operating system support

The device supports RouterOS software with the version number at or above what is indicated in the RouterOS menu /system resource. Other operating systems have not been tested.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

IMPORTANT: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. 20 cm minimum distance has to be maintained between the antenna and user. Under such configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.

Antenna Installation. WARNING: It is installer's responsibility to ensure that when using the authorized antennas in the United States (or where FCC rules apply); only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas, according to country regulations and per antenna type. Professional installation is required of equipment with connectors to ensure compliance with health and safety issues.
