Powering
The device accepts power from the Ethernet port:
• 12 - 57 V DC passive and 802.3af/at PoE to the port ETH1.⎓
The power consumption under maximum load can reach 5 W, with attachments 22 W.
Connecting to a PoE Adapter:
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the device to the PoE+DATA port of the PoE adapter;
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your local network (LAN) to the PoE adapter;
3. Connect the power cord to the adapter, and then plug the power cord into a power outlet.
Configuration
Once logged in, we recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button in the QuickSet menu, as updating your
RouterOS software to the latest version ensures the best performance and stability. For wireless models, please
make sure you have selected the country where the device will be used, to conform with local regulations.
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 for reinstallation, see a section Reset button.
Extension slots and ports
• Two Ethernet ports that support automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use
either straight or cross-over cables for connecting to other network devices.
• The ETH2 port is capable of powering another RouterBOARD device with passive PoE (up to 57 V). The
maximum output current is 600 mA when using less than 30 V to power this device and 400 mA when
using more than 30 V.
• MiniPSIe slot.
• Two micro SIM slots.
• Integrated LTE module, supported bands depend on a region (check brochure).
Reset button
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 CAP mode. The device will now
look for a CAPsMAN server (total 10 seconds);
• Or Keep holding the button for 5 more seconds 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.
Mode button
The action of the mode buttons can be configured from RouterOS software to execute any user-supplied RouterOS
script. You can also disable this button. The mode button can be configured in RouterOS menu /system routerboard
