Mounting

1. It is possible to attach the device to a wall, using the provided four screws and designed four holes on the
unit.

2. The ports are protected with a small door, that is held in place with two screws. Remove to access Ethernet
ports, antenna connector, SIM slots etc.

3. The door has cut-out places for all available ports, so you can guide though all necessary cables, but
please only break out the openings that you will use.

4. Several places for external antennas are provided on the case, use an appropriate size drill, to make them
available. Be careful and measure the chosen antenna, so that it does not touch the internal PCB board
when installed.

The device can be used both indoors and outdoors. The IP rating scale of IP54.

If you intend to mount outdoors, please ensure that any cable openings are directed downwards. The
Mounting direction is indicated on the device with an arrow pointing up. Use POE injector and proper
grounding. Recommended using Cat6 shielded cable.

Warning! This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 30 cm between the
device and your body. Operation of this equipment in the residential environment could cause radio
interference.

The device enclosure has places where you can drill openings for external LTE and GPS antennas. Use a drill to
make holes that are appropriate for the antenna cable used.

Configuration

We recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button and updating your RouterOS software to the latest version
to ensure the best performance and stability. RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is
described in this document. We suggest starting here to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities:

http://mt.lv/help. In case IP connection is not available, the Winbox tool (http://mt.lv/winbox) can be used to connect

to the MAC address of the device from the LAN side (all access is blocked from the internet port by default). For
recovery purposes, it is possible to boot the device from a network, see the section Reset button.

GPS

The built-in GPS module requires an external antenna to be used (SMA connector is already mounted
behind the unit door). Please see Mounting section on how to remove door.

Attention the GPS uses an active antenna, only connect and disconnect the antenna, when the device is
turned off!

Make sure that GPS package is installed on your device. Check by following command /system package print. If
not installed please download extra packages at our download page accordingly to your RouterOS version and
install GPS package by dragging it to the Files menu. Enable GPS and start working:

• Enabling - /system gps set enable=yes;

• Setting antenna to external - /system gps set gps-antenna-select=external;

• Checking configuration - /system gps print.

Powering

• Direct-input power jack (5.5 mm outside and 2 mm inside, female, pin positive plug) accepts 12-30 V DC ⎓

with provided 24 V, 1.2 A adapter.

• Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet 12-30 V DC ⎓ (compensate for the loss on cable, so

more than 12 V recommended).

• The automotive connector can be used to power the device from regular 12/24 V ⎓ connections in

automobiles and buses. The plug has four pins: bottom left (black) is the ground, bottom right is power in
(red). The upper two (AUX) are reserved for future use.

The power consumption under maximum load can reach 12 W without attachments. Please attach ground (earth)
wire to the screw under the door.

Connecting to a POE Adapter: (Not included)

1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the device to the POE out port of the POE adapter.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the POE adapter.

3. Connect the power cord to the adapter, and then plug the power cord into a power outlet.
