wAP 4G kit

Quick start

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw which secures the bottom lid. Once the screw snaps out of place, lid can be opened.

2. Power the unit using one of the methods described in the next section of this document.

3. Wireless AP mode is enabled by default, you can connect from your computer to the SSID that begins with “MikroTik”. The configuration interface is available via web browser. The address is http://192.168.88.1

4. The device is already preconfigured and ready to use, but we suggest to set a wireless password and a device password to secure your network and protect your device. Please also specify your country, to make sure local regulations are observed.

Powering

The device supports multiple powering methods.

PoE input

The ethernet port accepts 9-30 V passive PoE power. The box contains a 24 V adapter and a PoE injector. Plug the included PoE injector into the first or internet port of the router that you will use in your LAN (or directly into your laptop) and attach an ethernet cable to the PoE injector. Connect the other end of this ethernet cable to the wAP LTE device. Plug the power supply into the PoE injector.

Power jack

The DC jack (5.5 mm outside and 2 mm inside diameter, female, pin positive plug) supports 9-30 V powering, the device comes with a 24 V 1.2 A power adapter.

Automotive connector

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 are reserved for future use.

Maximum power consumption at 24 V is 6 W without miniPCIe, and 8 W with full load on the miniPCIe card.

Mounting

The device can be mounted in several ways: wall, ceiling or pole. The package includes a drill hole template, to help you with the ethernet cable installation and attachment to a ceiling or a wall. The package also includes a steel bracket to put on the other side of a dropdown ceiling tile and two screws and wall anchors.

To prepare the device for mounting, use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screw inside the unit, which will detach the mounting plate. Once the mounting plate is removed, use the drill hole template, to help you with cable installation and attachment to a ceiling or a wall. The template includes visual guides and instructions how to mount the unit. Warning! This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 45 cm between the device and your body.

Expansion slots and ports

 Built in 2 GHz wireless access point module, AP/station/bridge/p2p modes are supported.  One 10/100 ethernet port, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X). Either straight

or crossover cable can be used for connecting to other network devices. The ethernet port accepts 9-30 V DC powering from a passive PoE injector.

 miniPCIe slot and SIM slot (can’t be used separately) to be used with a 3G/4G/LTE modem (some kits

include it).

MiniPCIe slot usage

The device is equipped with a miniPCIe slot (a kit with preinstalled modem also available) to be used with an 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 and then pull the SIM out using tweezers or a similar tool.

Buttons and jumpers

The reset button has the following 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 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.

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 network, for reinstalling RouterOS for recovery purposes. This can be done from the first Ethernet port. See above how to do this.

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.
