MiniPCIe slot usage

The device is equipped with a miniPCIe slot (a kit with preinstalled modem also available) to be used with a 3G/4G/LTE modem. A SIM slot is provided for use together with a miniPCIe modem. SIM slot is not usable separately.

To install the miniPCIe module, remove both screws below the power jack and slide out the wAP PCB board. Insert the miniPCIe modem, and secure it with two Philips screws which are already in place.

Attach the grey uFL connector to the MAIN antenna connector of the modem, attach the black cable to the other (or AUX) connector. It is possible to use external antennas for the modem, two SMA mounting holes are provided next to the reset button, or if you prefer to attach antennas to the case directly, SMA antennas can be mounted on the bottom of the case if you remove the two plastic hole covers first.

After you have reinserted the wAP board into the case and secured it with the screws that were removed earlier, slide in the SIM card from your mobile operator into the SIM slot, with the chip facing up. The slot accepts miniSIM (2FF). The SIM slot protects the SIM card from falling out with a plastic latch. You can press the latch to the left side to unlock and then pull the SIM out using tweezers or a similar tool.

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 to visit the RouterOS documentation page 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).

It is possible to boot the device from a network, for reinstalling RouterOS for recovery purposes. This can be done from the first Ethernet port. See above how to do this.

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 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.
